In a brief conversation with Planning Board member Eddie Duffy, candidate for Selectmen, Mr. Duffy stated that if elected Selectman, he intends to continue to serve on the Planning Board for at least a year. He gave the following reason why.

As Mr. Duffy explained it, by serving on both boards he could improve the communications between them. This is important as matters that come before these boards are “often issues that overlap.” He said that he would be “listening from both sides.”

Mr. Duffy narrowly won re-election last year in a close race against first time candidate Cheryl Tougias. His current Planning Board term expires in 2015.
