To the editor:

Marion citizens,

The town of Marion has vacancies in important roles!

I am coming late to realize that the town is short of the needed candidates to fill positions on important boards and committees - to the point that some are filling multiple roles.

This year, there are more spaces available on the Planning Board than listed candidates, so please write in my name for Planning Board.

You may have heard me speak during town meeting as I have often participated and shared my views. I am a practical and direct person, and like all of us, love Marion and want sensible and balanced growth and development.

With regrets for a belated announcement - I want to thank you in advance for writing in my name - Chris Collings - for Marion Planning Board.

Thank you again,

Chris Collings
