JAM SESSION: Charter commission
Wicked Local
Jam session is an opinion forum offering comments on issues from a group of Plymouth residents. It appears on the Forum pages in the Weekend edition of the OCM.
The newspaper poses a question to the group each week, and participants choose whether to comment. This column is designed to bring the voices of well-informed residents into the Forum page to address issues, one at a time.
Participants cross the local political spectrum and live throughout the town. Some are current or past Town Meeting representatives, and all are active in the community. We hope their diverse points of view will encourage discussion of the issues Plymouth faces.

“As iGIG we continue to encourage and enable Indian Americans to get and stay involved in whatever way they can and are excited that over 25 Indian Americans are engaged in elected roles and several others are in appointed positions,” said iGIG President Vineeta Kumar. “The desire to serve and bring their perspective to the table are two broad reasons that motivate them. It’s exciting to see Indian Americans playing a role in the ecosystem, trying to find solutions to our most pressing problems.”

I am writing to announce my candidacy for re-election to Wellesley’s Board of Public Works. If re-elected, I would continue to use my technical, management and town experience as an active, effective member of the Department of Public Works (DPW) and Wellesley Municipal Light Plant (WMLP) boards. This means working to advance technology integration to improve services and achieve Wellesley’s resource and environmental goals in a financially sound manner.
Professionally, I am a product manager and engineer with a proven track record of bringing complex products from business plan through product release and implementation. I thrive in a team environment and enjoy finding creative solutions to challenging problems.
