Salem News: Ex-chief of staff is mayoral hopeful
This can only be good news for all the citizens of Peabody. I think that the public can only be better served with a healthy debate of the issues and the platforms of these two men.
I only hope that the campaigns can be kept positive and informative... instead of diving into the muck and mire that has plagued our political system as of late.
I have actually not seen Mr. Fitzgerald for some time. But I have found him to be an honest and forthright person. Don't get me wrong, he's still a politician... but he seems to have high expectations for himself and I have rarely seen him lose his cool.
While I would say that Mr. Bettencourt has gotten off on the right footing... and is leading the charge at the moment, I look forward to seeing what Mr. Fitzgerald will bring to the table.
But no matter who you favor now in March... it is going to be a much more interesting election season after today!
