LETTER: He Is In Tune With The Issues We Face'

FRAMINGHAM, MA—The following was submitted by Arsene (Jake) Bajakian. Get in on the conversation? Send letters to the editor to charlene.arsenault@patch.com.

I have known Phil Ottaviani for many years, through working with him in local real estate and serving with him as a Precinct 11 Town Meeting member. The extent of Phil’s long standing service to the town and his generosity of time clearly illustrates his dedication to making the Town of (and soon the City of) Framingham a community that we can be proud of.

A life-long resident of Framingham, he is in tune with the issues we face. His experience in dealing with small business owners to real estate developers and his ability to see both sides of an issue will prove beneficial in working with the new mayor and fellow council members.

His dedication does not stop at public service, but also includes his support of those in need through local organizations such as The 200 Foundation and Hoops and Homework.

I enthusiastically support for District 6 City Council Phil Ottaviani, whose attention to and concern for all residents of Framingham is unwavering.
