In support of Josh Terenzini for Rutland County Senate

Dear Editor,

In my years serving in municipal and state government, I’ve occasionally come across individuals who have an unparalleled commitment to their communities and dedication to service. Josh Terenzini is one of those individuals.

As chair of the Rutland Town Selectboard, Josh Terenzini has  demonstrated his steadfast devotion to his constituents. He has crafted numerous budgets during challenging fiscal times, and dealt with complicated issues with a steady hand and commonsense. His service on the Rutland Town Fire Department and local school board further underscores his commitment to service.

Josh Terenzini will also bring a much-needed fresh perspective to the Golden Dome in Montpelier. I know from personal experience that we need more people in the Legislature who understand what it takes to build a budget, negotiate across the aisle, avoid the all-too-easy decision to quietly raise taxes, and bring people together. He knows that money doesn’t grow on trees. Terenzini is the fresh perspective that Rutland County needs.

Josh Terenzini has been dedicated to the greater Rutland area in municipal government for a decade. He has the experience and know-how to take his service to the next level by serving as a member of the Vermont State Senate. I strongly encourage Rutland County voters to support Josh Terenzini for Rutland County Senate.

Don Turner, Milton town manager (former house minority leader and candidate for lieutenant governor)
