Letter to the Editor- Vote for Mark Gold


To Longmeadow Voters,

      As a group of Longmeadow citizens, we want to let other Longmeadow residents know how important it is for them to go to the polls on Tuesday, June 3rd and vote for Mark Gold for Select Board.  Mark is the most knowledgeable and qualified candidate for the position.  As a sixteen-year member of the Select Board he has demonstrated his leadership and provided results that serve both the town as well as its residents.
 
    Mark’s achievements include a strong impact on controlling the town’s tax rate, holding water and sewer rates in check, and improving the quality of life for all residents of town.  Longmeadow needs to collect over $1.3 million less in real estate taxes in 2026 than would otherwise have been necessary because of his work in: purchasing and converting streetlights to LEDs ($450K), negotiating a casino mitigation contract ($280K), driving the adoption of a local meals tax ($180K), and negotiating a new trash hauling contract ($400K for each of the 5 years of the contract). 

       Over the coming years all residents will benefit from the Municipal Aggregation plan that Mark initiated that will allow homeowners to take advantage of lower priced electrical generation compared to Eversource. 

       As involved citizens, we know that by electing Mark Gold to the Select Board we will keep his work ethic and positive impact working for the town of Longmeadow.  It's not enough for us to just say we support Mark Gold for Select Board, we must all go to the Longmeadow Community House on Tuesday June 3rd between 7AM and 8PM and vote for Mark Gold for Select Board because LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER and Mark’s Trusted Leadership and Proven Results are unique among the candidates.

Sincerely,
