McCahill works for the post office and deals with the public on a regular basis

LaRosa is a retired school teacher, continuing to work a day or so in part time capacity

McCahill's father had served Franklin before in a number of capacities, the courts are a slow and tedious process, his public experience has taught him to be professional in his service

LaRosa ability to diffuse problems quickly, both parties need to be treated with respect, his great-grandfather was also a constable, wants to serve in this quiet capacity



Candidates Forum

Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers the candidates for contested seats in the upcoming local election will get a chance to tell their story.

What is the format? 
Hard to say as there is no information on the Franklin webpage. I know of it as it was mentioned during the closing for the past couple of Town Council meetings.

Who are the candidates?
