Issue Position: Seniors

Issue Position

Our seniors have built their lives in this community: raising families and working hard to make our towns more prosperous and vibrant. In turn we must help them to remain in this community, which is their home. As an attorney, I have represented seniors to make sure they receive the legal benefits to which they are entitled. As a legislator, I would work with others in the State House to increase local aid to support programs for our aging population like Meals on Wheels and funding for the Council on Aging. Equally important, by bringing in additional funding we can prevent the costs of these necessary programs from falling on homeowners, many of whom are seniors who might not be able to remain in their homes if property taxes go up.
