David Singer

Context

David Singer sits on the Charlton Select Board. He advocates strongly for putting big-ticket capital items to a ballot vote and is comfortable pushing back on committee presentations when he thinks messaging or data are weak. He also proposed eliminating certain fees (death certificate, dog license) for seniors and veterans.

Issues

• Senior Community Center Feasibility — pressed for a ballot vote on the Dresser Hill proposal and cited (with caveats) the feasibility committee's survey data.
• DCRSD $11.1M School Capital Request — engaged on the DCRSD capital request presentation.
• Young Road Chapter 61 Right of First Refusal — opposed assigning the ROFR
• Death Certificate Fee — moved the $0 fee motion
• Dog License Fee Changes — moved the placeholder
