Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, October 4, 2019 ~ Political Announcement ~ Wallace seeks third term as Town Meeting member for Precinct 5 am Ron Wallace, Precinct 5 Town Meeting member. I decided to seek re-election which will be my third term if the residents vote me back in on Nov 5. I have perfect attendance in my fi rst two terms. I have never missed a meeting or vote. Attendance is a huge problem on Town Meeting in my opinion. I’m also a lifelong resident and a class of 1987 SHS graduate. I have two children still in Saugus Public Schools and I have zero personal agendas. Here is what I have accomplished since being elected. (1) I had a crosswalk successfully installed on Elm Street near the Lynnhurst School. (2) I proudly supported the 21 I custodians in their fi ght to save their jobs. (3) I voted to limit the ash pile at Wheelabrator. (4) I also fought to stop the 222 Central St. project which is now on hold and opposed The Ridge development at Prankers Pond. (5) Worked hard to get new Middle/High School vote approved. (6) Fought (with help) to read my resolution at Town Meeting Everett’s Unique Steak House We offer an authentic dining experience featuring homemade recipes from Brazil, passed down from generations.
