Thank you, Diane, for all of your contributions to the Town. I have tremendous respect for your contribution toward helping this Town to grow and prosper. Thank you.

I, and so many others, will miss your graceful stewardship and leadership-laden with so many accomplishments. Your resume of improvements to the town of Bristol is a lengthy one, from stewarding tourism and visitation, making Bristol a *distinctive destination nationwide- to one of the Best Places to Live in Family Circle a nationwide publication- and the list goes on... It is your intelligence, collaboration, dedication and innovation that has kept our course steady and strong, with the Bristol Town Council right behind you.

OMG it's about time! The most overpaid public official in the state.

It's a good time to get out before the town is overwhelmed by education costs triggered by the loss of approximately $9 million a year in State subsidies.

Diane Medeiros is a tremendous leader in her community. It was always a pleasure to work with her while I served the Town of Warren as Council President. She is always ready to help her constituents, answer questions and provide professional insight into issues at hand. The East Bay will miss your dedication.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my good friend and colleague Diane for her excellent stewardship of our town for the past eight years. Working together we have accomplished many great things due to her leadership, and she will be missed. I wish her all the best as her long year's of service to the town come to an end.
For 14 years I have had the pleasure of serving the citizens of Bristol with a commitment to always do what I felt was in the best interest of the town. Half of my long term on the town council has been in a leadership position. I am proud being an integral part of keeping our town fiscally sound, providing excellent municipal services and being a strong advocate for our school district. I will campaign on my vast experience, leadership, drive, and to keep our town, which is the envy of many, moving forward in a positive direction.

There is certainly much more to come, and I look forward to discussing the issues, running a positive campaign, as I ask for your support as I advance to meet my political goal and continued dedication to the town I love. One clarification on tthe article that apeared in the Bristol Phoenix. I have the support and endorsement of John Faria, Chairman of the Democratic party. I look forward to the full committee endorsement later this month.
Andi reference to Ms Powers comment, the salary of the Bristol Town Administrator is one of the lowest in the state.
David E. Barboza, Vice Chairman Bristol Town Council

Have to say, the only problem can recall I ever had with her was,when kept gettingher name mixed up with williamson lol. Really kinda teed her off.

Somehow the article seems a little mixed up, having the Barboza thing at the end, seems like a campaign ad. Not to mention the Barboza post, which has 63 words praising her, and then has 204 words of why he should take over lol.

Talk about waiting till the body is cold lol. Just saying

Bristol residents who seek greater transparency in their government have only one real choice for a new town administrator, Councilor Tony Teixeira.

Tony would serve the residents of Bristol with distinction and honor. He should be encouraged to run.

Thank you for your service Diane. You ruled with grace and style and you will be missed.

BARBOZA IS ASHAME OF IS LAST NAME

David Barboza is going to run, the same council member who did not return one email when a serious complaint was levied against the police chief. I will never vote for David, never have, never will!

The residents of Bristol in order to preserve the good, open, viable, sustained government that it has enjoyed since the Herreshoff adminsitration must elect someone to the Town Administrator's job other than the candidate that announced by saying, "You might as well hear it from me (D. Barboza)".

Mr. Tony Teixeira would be a very good leader for the town as would Mary Parella, Lou Cirillo or Halsey Herreshoff. We must avoid putting Mr. Barboza is this job.

Mr. Barboza had exemplified in public that his temperment and reactionary behavior is not one which bodes well for Bristol's future.

Arrogance and a sense of "knowing it all" has no place as character traits of a public official. That is not the case with one of the candidates for Town Administrator. Take a look at the cable TV reruns of the Town Council meetings. I don't need to say more about to whom I refer.
