Election Day is Almost Here: What Topic Deserved More Attention?

We asked the candidates on Thursday night, now we want to ask you.

 

Chelmsford voters, you are almost out of time before a decision must be made one way or another on who you will choose for the Board of Selectmen and a variety of other candidates for office.

Thursday night's debate by the Chelmsford Democratic Party at the Chelmsford Police Station marked the fourth debate of this election following those by the Chelmsford Business Association, Chelmsford Republican Party and League of Women Voters.

You can listen a replay of it on WCAP 980, and watch it on Chelmsford Telemedia, but we want to ask you all a question we asked the candidates: what questions haven't been asked already, and what questions will we need to be asking soon?

While Roland Van Liew was not on hand due to a travelling conflict, Janet Askenburg mentioned full day kindergarten. Bob Joyce noted unexpected projects that might need to be funded like the Chelmsford Forum. Matt Hanson believed that the town would have to face a question over whether services would need to be reduced or volunteers could help if spending cuts needed to be made if the economy took a downturn. Pat Maloney talked about grinder pumps.
