Letter to the Editor: Ritterbusch ‘understands the issues’

by | Jun 21, 2020 | Letter to Editor

I am writing in support of Amy Ritterbusch for Select Board.

I have known Amy for years through our involvement on school and community issues, and I believe she will serve Hopkinton well on the Select Board. Amy is someone who does her research, understands the issues, and can provide the information in an easy to understand manner. She has become known in Hopkinton as a source of accurate, objective information. During her time on the Planning Board I have seen her post her updates on board meetings, creating a transparency on board actions. She has brought controversial issues to Town Meeting with presentations and discussions that informed and persuaded Town Meeting members.

Amy is thoughtful, caring and will hold herself to high standards of making informed decisions that reflect the priorities of the community. I recommend you vote for Amy on June 29th for Select Board.

Please stay safe and cast your absentee ballot by Monday, June 29.

— Rebecca Robak, Hopkinton
