To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in support of Steven Gonsalves’ candidacy for the Marion Planning Board. I do this for the sole purpose of the community of Marion. I have known Steve since he was a student at New Bedford High School and served with him during my two terms on the Marion Planning Board as its chairman.

I found Steve to be dedicated, cooperative and very productive member of the board with the interest of Marion his paramount priority. His campaign sign for re-election says it all: “Marion Matters.” And for those of us who are not native to the town, we do have a sincere desire to serve our community. While not seeking any credit, notice or fanfare, Steve provides a great deal of volunteer services and landscaping materials to the town. He maintains the Veterans Park at Old Landing and many other areas of the town because “Marion Matters.”

Joseph F. Napoli,

Marion
