2011 Town Election

Our town election is March 29th, 2011.  We here at SustainableAmherst.org have analyzed the voting records of all incumbent candidates for Town Meeting and Select Board (You can check TallyVotes.org and review the records yourself.)  Our endorsements are based on candidates that have a voting record that supports a fiscally sustainable Amherst and have shown they can collaborate with other members to build positive economic momentum for our town while retaining our values of strong schools, open space, diversity, a small-town feel, and not soaking the taxpayer.  In our analysis of voting records we are looking at whether a candidate’s votes match the goals we have laid out as well as the means to achieving those goals by encouraging economic momentum for our town.
