We wanted them to summarize how they would want voters to remember them two years from now, if elected next Tuesday (Nov. 5). Only three candidates didn’t respond. The candidates’ answers to our question follow in the order in which they were received within the particular race. Question: If you are elected, what is the single most important thing you hope to be remembered for accomplishing two years from now? Board of Selectmen Candidates Former Selectman Paul H. Allan: I hope to be remembered for putting together a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan that brought the community together for a common cause. That brought accountability and transparency with public involvement. Finally ending the divide that has plagued our community. Working together for common cause is a wonderful thing! Selectman Jeffrey V. Cicolini: The single most important item I wish to be remembered for accomplishing two years from now would be establishing a final closure and cap date for the Wheelabrator ash landfill. This date will be etched in stone, signed off by DEP, Wheelabrator and the town of Saugus. I feel this will be in the best interest of our residents and public health. Coming in right behind this item would be the updating of our master plan including the housing production plan as well as implementing the recommendations of the ASKS | SEE PAGE 12 Paul H.
