Providing a strong public education isn't optional. It is one of the most fundamental things a community owes its children, and it only works when we fund it properly. On June 9th, I hope you'll join me in voting YES on Questions 1, 2, and 3, with the strongest possible support for Question 3.

On June 9, I will be enthusiastically voting YES on Questions 1, 2, and 3. Question 3 represents the best opportunity we have to invest in Marblehead's future. For the Marblehead Public Schools, Question 3 does four critical things…
