I would like to voice my support for Mike Scholz and Jim Tierney; both are Zoning Board of Adjustment alternates that have decided to run for election March 13th. I have worked with both of these men over the past two years during nearly all of the board meetings. Both offer thoughtful consideration to the facts presented at the meeting without bias caused by outside influence. This allows them to render a fair and impartial decision that every citizen deserves. They have both put the time and effort in, attending on a regular basis despite not being able to sit on the board at every meeting, and deserve your consideration.

In one word Mike Scholz is a thinker. His eagerness to learn the sometimes cryptic set of laws and rules that govern what the ZBA has been an asset to the board since day one. His attention to detail when discussing process and consistency is a valuable asset to both the Zoning Board and the Community Development Department.

Jim Tierney’s experience as a building inspector and his general knowledge of land use applications not just in Windham but also in surrounding communities has become an invaluable asset to the board. Often Jim proactively corrects issues that may go unnoticed by some of the lesser trained eyes at the meeting.

If you see either Mike Scholz or Jim Tierney campaigning over the course of the next couple of weeks let them know they have been doing a good job. I hope that both will continue to help the board moving forward.
