To the Editor:

I am writing in support of Shahidul Mannan for Board of Selectman. I have had the pleasure of working with Shahidul on the Appropriations Committee for several years. The experience of reviewing the budget in depth each year has given him a deep understanding of not only the fiscal status of our budgets, but has also provided him with the knowledge of the challenges facing each department and our town in general. He will be well qualified to help the town with strategic planning, and will provide the leadership needed to help the town manage its growth. Vote for Shahidul Mannan on May 20.
