Jon Henry
MARION Former Selectman Jon Henry is looking to return to public service with a campaign for the town’s Planning Board.
“Well, no one was running,” Henry said.
Henry was the first candidate, other than incumbent Andrew Daniel, to take out nomination papers from the town clerk’s office.
He said he decided to run because he saw the way the Planning Board was hindered, when approving Tabor Academy’s new student center and library, by the vacancy left by Kristen St. Don-Campbell.
“That’s the sole reason that pushed me into deciding to run,” Henry said.
A Tabor graduate himself, Henry said that the town needs to think cooperatively with the school as it expands.
