As of the Township Committee meeting of Wednesday, February 14th, both Paul Avery and Cynthia Dalton have confirmed that they would decline another run and be stepping down from office at the end of their term, Dec 31st, 2018. Retirement from public office is not an easy decision, because there is always more to be done.
While they each will have a legacy of hard work and numerous accomplishments, "the show must go on." Who will pick up their baton and work for the people of Blairstown? The time to speak up is now, if you wish to run in the June primary. The servant leader example has been well set for you - but are you willing to do the work? Interested candidates may pick up a petition from the Municipal Clerk's office.
Thank you Paul and Cynthia for your service, and may the remainder of this year be fulfilling to you as you continue to serve Blairstown.
