To the editor:
Terri Tauro will be a GREAT Town Clerk!
We don’t know if you are aware of the many responsibilities of the office of Town Clerk,, but it is far more than registering your doggies and giving them a license.
The Town Clerk is the Chief Election Officer, overseeing everything that makes an honest and efficient election. This is a big job…. The Town Clerk assists the moderator of town meetings, which makes the process transparent with efficient communication to our town. She oversees state-mandated compliance of all employees. These are just a few of the functions of the office of the Clerk, all of which require a person who is not only precise and detail-oriented, but also someone who can organize and motivate her staff. Paramount is her ability to relate to the people of Marblehead!
Terri Tauro is uniquely qualified to not only fulfill all of the duties of Town Clerk, but to improve them as she brings a wealth of years of service to Marblehead, where she has proven over and over again her strong capabilities.
In her executive role as President of the Marblehead Municipal Employees Union for many years,
Terri knew how to relate to the membership with varying needs, educational backgrounds, and political views to produce improvements in everything from negotiating contracts to providing remedies to unhealthy work environments and access for members to her.
For the past 14 years as Department Administrator to the Marblehead Harbormaster, Terri has been highly effective in balancing relationships with boat owners as well as managing endless details relating to the boat excise tax process and other details of this job.
If this isn’t enough, Terri has been Vice Chair of the Marblehead Housing Authority…
We believe that Terri, whose family has been in Marblehead for generations, brings to the office of Town Clerk years of problem-solving skills along with a commitment to always doing what is best for the people of Marblehead. We know that we can count on Terri to not only take this job but to make it even better for all of us.
We invite you to join us in voting for TERRI TAURO TOWN CLERK…
