Letter: Vote no on every charter question, vote against those candidates

To the editor:

The switch from the Financial Town Meeting to the Financial Town Referendum stripped Barrington residents of real control over their town budget. These charter changes would take even more. Any town council candidate who supports them is asking for your vote while working to weaken it. Do not reward that. Vote no on every charter question, and vote against every candidate who backs them. Barrington residents deserve representatives who protect their rights, not erode them.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
