Your town needs you. This election season with one notable exception is developing into a tremendously tepid affair. Only one major town wide seat is being contested – Board of Selectmen.At the moment the Planning Board, School Committee, Library Board of Trustees, Cemetery, and Parks Commission are all one candidate per seat races. At least those seats have candidates. Where town meeting is concerned, there are currently 18 seats that, if no one steps up, will go empty.
