For the past nine years, former Stoughton Select Board Chair Board member Bob O’Regan has tried to place together a jigsaw puzzle of complex pieces for residents and commercial development.
In a recent interview with the
Journal & Sun, O’Regan, who decided not to run for reelection in the recent Town Election, said he originally was called to public service out of family responsibility. When O’Regan’s son was in the third grade, his best friend left the school system because the family felt the schools were declining.
“I looked around and saw there was quite a bit of that going around,” O’Regan said. “When people leave, that’s when you have instability in the community. I’m of the view that the best thing we can do is have excellent schools. And we do that by fixing the downtown and improving the tax base to fund them.”

STOUGHTON, MA After two years as Stoughton s interim town clerk, the Select Board on Monday voted unanimously to officially give Stephanie Carrara the position.
Carrara has served as the interim town clerk since 2019 and has worked in the clerk s office since 2009.
Several Select Board members, including Bob O Regan and Christine Howe, gave Carrara credit for handling the election process during the coronavirus pandemic. Howe said mail-in voting is likely to be a part of Massachusetts elections going forward, so her experience and past success with that are critical.
