Henderson on why “Jim Henderson for Assessor”
from the candidate
There are four reasons I am the best choice for Assessor:
1. I KNOW TAXES – As a licensed and practicing CPA, I have over 30 years’ experience dealing with taxes at the local, state, federal and international levels. While all taxes are different, what remains the same, and what I am a true advocate for, is that all taxpayers want to be treated fairly and equitably under the law. Nobody wants to overpay their taxes!
Chris Huban bids the School Committee “Adieu”
The School Committee met yesterday but the most important issue was not on the agenda.

Lynda Lee Sheridan, the current chair, tired to do the math on how many hours Huban has put into the schools during that time. It’s been a lot.
