Support for Seniors

Support for Seniors.

Seniors are our parents and grandparents, and they are a growing population. I remember growing up and hearing about my grandparents getting special discounts at businesses and restaurants. I feel like they were treated like royalty. Everyone held the door for them, let them in the door first, always treated with kindness. It seems they had a special “senior membership card” and they were honored for getting to their age and retirement was a happy ending to their years of working. It seemed like a special time for them, they had more time to volunteer with groups, they spent time with family (especially us grandkids), and they were supported by the cities and towns they lived in. I felt like it was the best time of their lives.

Seniors got us to where we are today. We have acquired a wealth of knowledge from their experiences, and we need to do more to support them. As a candidate for an At-Large City Council seat, seniors can count on more support from me. I support a new senior center; I will vote to allow seniors to park for free at the library. I will investigate a partnership with businesses for senior discounts; I will encourage the connection of schools and seniors; I will propose a new Seniors Committee on the City Council, and I will push for tax relief for seniors. I want to be sure today’s seniors in Attleboro are honored and supported as I remember seeing when I was young. Think of how you want to live out your senior years.

I’m on your side.
