For most of my legal career people have been predicting an end to the doctrine of judicial deference that has, since the early 1980s, been the law in Federal Courts, and in Massachusetts. That brings me to the Supreme Judicial Court s decision Friday upholding the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board s approval of a new electricity transmission line under a railroad right of way passing through the Town of Sudbury.
The Town and other opponents appealed the approval, preferring no additional transmission at all, or at least an alternative route. The Commonwealth s highest court said its job wasn t to substitute its judgments for those of the Legislature or the Executive Branch, only to prevent patently wrong, unreasonable, arbitrary, whimsical, or capricious government actions.

I am proud to say that service to the country and community runs deep in my family – my father served in the U.S. Air Force and both of my grandfathers in the U.S. Navy. I learned there are no shortcuts to hard work, responsibility, and commitment.
As a 17-year Sudbury resident, with two children in the Sudbury Public School system, I know our community well, observing over time both challenges and positive change. During these past three years on the Select Board, and now as Board Chair, it is my priority to make sure there is equity for all residents, focusing on a safe environment and improved quality of life, and moving projects and policies forward in a fiscally responsible way.
