Watchdog Washburn for Council
Bob Washburn’s run for an at-large seat on the Concord City Council is good news for every taxpayer in the city. As a former member of the city council, and as a private citizen, Washburn has been a consistent spokesman advocating against wasteful municipal spending and questionable council actions.
As so many others have made clear, Concord’s property tax burden and high cost of homes and rental units make it almost impossible for the younger generation to make their home here. For those of us in the older generation, this ever rising tax burden creates the prospect that we will be driven out of our homes.
Bob is an avid outdoorsman, having written many Concord Monitor columns on outdoor adventures in New Hampshire, and has a professional background as a certified public accountant. This skill, and his devotion to prudent management of the taxpayers dollars, is desperately needed on the Concord City Council. There couldn’t be a better choice for this at-large seat in next Tuesday’s municipal election.
