I’ve known Isaac Evans-Frantz for several years and I am glad he is running for Select Board.
Isaac’s Brattleboro roots run deep. He was born in Brattleboro, grew up in a low-income family and graduated from BUHS before going on to college.
His at times challenging upbringing gives him the experience to understand those in town who can’t afford huge increases in local property taxes. So I admire the way he has shown a light on the way the current Select Board has stonewalled the RTM Finance Committee and its recommendations. I know he will bring a more responsible fiscal outlook to the board.
While he is a property owner and a landlord, he supports tenant protections. He wants to implement the Brattleboro Housing Action Plan to work with developers to increase the supply of housing and create new funding sources and strategies to create and rehabilitate affordable and middle-income housing.
Isaac has the experience to understand how Brattleboro has evolved and the vision to see where the town can grow and improve.
