Storm saviors

We just survived another storm with no power. When thanking essential workers, we have missed two hugely important teams National Grid and their peers some from as far away as Canada. I must include all tree removal services. Unlike other essential workers, we may not see these teams working diligently.

Being without power is exasperating and out of our control. We all wait by candle light and count the minutes. We cheer when the power is restored. We all then go back to our lives.

We owe a huge thank you to every person on those teams. They respond quickly to every outage or downed tree. They work in horrible weather.

I watched Walnut Tree Removal Service remove a gigantic tree from a neighbors yard. When I looked out, I saw an orange-clad person hanging higher than three stories and supervising the removal of this tree. A huge claw carried the tree over a pool, porch, driveway and dropped it in the street. In a flash, the crew chopped it up and placed the pieces into the wood chipper. One worker was singing as he worked. They cleaned the roadway and were gone!

Give a loud shout out to these professionals. Thank you!

My wife and I requested mail-in voting packets for the upcoming general election. We completed the ballot and returned them on 10/2.

On 10/16, we received another set of ballots. Knowing we had previously submitted our completed ballots, we thought the new ballots were sent in error and prepared to shred them. That was until I checked the Secretary of States website and noticed both our ballots were rejected! No reason is provided, however there is notice that on 10/14, new ballots were mailed.

I strongly urge each person who used mail-in ballot selection to verify your ballots status on the Secretary of States website to make sure your vote is accepted.

We are currently awaiting word from our towns administrator on why the ballots were rejected so we dont make the same mistake.

Joe Biden sold his vice presidency to foreign nations in order to enrich himself and his family. The evidence of this is overwhelming, even including a video of him bragging about quid pro quo with the Ukraine. Overall there were millions, even billions of dollars involved.

This was a case of in office treason.

The very corrupt media is hiding, covering this up. With a mountain of evidence, not one single question was asked at the ABC Town Hall Meeting with Biden.

I would like to recognize and acknowledge the courage of the police unions in the towns of Duxbury, Hanson and Pembroke for their support for Tatyana Semyrog in her fight to represent the citizens of the aforementioned towns. These exceptional officers understand the importance of electing officials who will support law enforcement and listen to them when important issues that directly impact their ability to perform their public safety duties arise. Sadly our current state representative thought there was no need to conduct a public hearing on the issue of police reform.

Police reform is a serious issue and the public, all of the public, including police should be at the table where all stakeholders can participate.
