It's important to be transparent in an elected position. What does this mean? It means that elected officials should be an open book and willing to share their opinions and ideas. As residents, it's important to keep your elected officials focused on the issues that are in the best interests of the voters. Do you attend board meetings, watch them on BCAT or read about them in the paper? Do you know how your elected officials vote on important matters? As this Board of Selectman election is ramping up, it's great to hear from the residents who keep current on the issues in the town. For those who may not be as up to date, you don't even need a tv or a newspaper.

Kudos to the folks who keep the Burlington.org site current with this information.
About Me
- Dan DiTucci
- Burlington has been my home since 1959, when my parents moved from Arlington to Burlington and bought a house on Skilton Lane. At that point, Burlington had more dirt roads than paved roads. I am close with my two brothers and one sister. Shortly after getting married, I moved to my current residence on Lisa Street. My wife, Mary, and I raised 3 sons who attended Burlington schools K-12. I was involved in youth soccer for 12 years and also coached little league. I own Spencer Cleaners and have enjoyed being a small business owner in Burlington for 25 years.
