Letter to the Editor: Stoneham Native Asks Voters to Elect Mike Rotondi as Town Clerk

Charles Rotondi, father of Mike Rotondi, pens a letter asking Stonehamites to elect his son to the position on April 3.

[Editor's note: The following Letter to the Editor was submitted by Stoneham native Charles Rotondi.] Many of you already know me since I have been an avid Town Meeting attendee for over 50 years, but for the last several years I have been absent enjoying my retirement with my wife in Florida.   Of course I am supporting my son Michael Rotondi for Town Clerk, but it is for both future and historical reasons that I do so. Mike's plan for expanding the role of the Clerk's Office to help acquire grants and add additional revenue is a fantastic idea that is timely and needed. Mike's can-do attitude is not persuaded by the naysayers and it’s this new energy and technological skill set, which is exactly what we need to encourage.   I have seen …

Letter to the Editor: Former Town Clerk's Son Asks Stonehamites to Elect Maria Sagarino

John J. Hanright, son of longtime Town Clerk John Hanright who passed away in July 2011, calls on voters to elect Assistant Town Clerk Maria Sagarino to his father's former post.

[Editor's note: The following is a Letter to the Editor submitted by John J. Hanright.] To The People Of Stoneham, I am writing to you in support of Maria Sagarino for Town Clerk. While there are many candidates running for the final year of my father John Hanright’s term as Town Clerk on April 3, no other candidate has the experience or tenure of working with my dad.  There have been many candidates exploiting my father’s name to support their own campaign, along with untruths of working with him. While this is disheartening, the fact is Maria Sagarino is the only candidate that has worked alongside John Hanright the last 10 years.  To truly continue what the townspeople support and voted when they re-elected my father two years ago, …
