| Dear Friends, |
| |
| I have been leading the way for your family's future. I have uniquely embarked on addressing one of the world's most important issues in the 21st century – jobs and economic development, the lifeline of every community. I am helping to lay the groundwork now to attract and retain businesses over the next 5-10 years. Attracting and retaining companies is essential to provide good jobs at every level and to expand the commercial tax base for additional recurring revenue needed to provide essential City services. |
| |
| I am fighting for the following outcomes for Haverhill: |
- A thriving business community
- Schools that cultivate students for successful careers and fulfilling lives
- Stable Property Taxes and Fees (e.g. water, sewer)
- Safe and vibrant neighborhoods
- Improved City Property Infrastructure Maintenance
|
I have been honored to serve the citizens of Haverhill on the City Council for
12 years. I once again ask for your vote in the upcoming election. |
| |
| Sincerely, |
| |
| John Michitson |
