Unhappy with your government? - - - - - Here's your chance!

Salem News: Clerk outlines city election calendar

Each and every day we hear someone else grumbling about how unhappy they are with the City government here in Peabody. Well City Clerk Tim Spanos is waiting for you to come a'knockin.

All it takes is to take out papers from the City Clerks office, get 50 certified Peabody residents to sign, and return them to the Clerk.

I urge folks who really do have a passion for making Peabody a better place to live, work and play to take out these papers and give it a shot! I have great respect for anyone who is willing to put themselves out there and try and make a difference... if they are serious about it. In fact, I will sign ANYONE'S NOMINATION PAPERS, even if I disagree with them, because I am a believer in the democratic system... flaws and all.

Election Calendar

Monday, March 2: Nomination papers available at city clerk's office

Friday, July 31: Last day for taking out nomination papers

Tuesday, Aug. 4: Last day for filing nomination papers and petitions with Board of Registrars

Tuesday, Sept. 15: Primary election

Tuesday, Nov. 3: General election

Tim Spanos to remain Peabody City Clerk

The Daily Item: Peabody city clerk to stay.

I made comments on this story in the local papers and other places, but it bears repeating.

Tim Spanos is a total class act. He is a wonderful, friendly person who not only excels in his position, but he does it with style and caring that few other can muster.

He is a credit to the City of Peabody and one of the shining examples of what the words Public Servant can mean.

I hope Mr. Spanos will continue to serve this community for as long as he wishes.
Congratulation Tim, and thank you.
