2011 Question (limit 100 words): How would you reconcile your personal views with your function as a member of your board/office and your charge to represent the best interests of all Raymond citizens?

Being a CPA in NH & FL with a BS degree in Business Administration I have my views on financial/management issues. Board members are team members bringing to the table different personal views – this is good.

I will serve the best interests of all citizens by being open minded, researching, listening and then voting my conscience. In our society the majority rule; boards work the same way, we vote and move on.

We as a team are elected to make decisions in the best interest of all, and may not always make everyone happy.

Signed: James Tuttle
