Belmont_Election_040516 1 114.80 1.04 Nice<space>to<space>be<space>here.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 116.00 5.84 Today's<space>ballot<space>has<space>several<space>races<space>with<space>competing<space>candidates<space>seeking<space>them.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 122.00 6.72 These<space>include<space>the<space>office<space>of<space>selectmen,<space>the<space>school<space>committee,<space>the<space>housing<space>authority<space>and<space>town<space>meeting<space>membership.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 128.96 9.76 Let's<space>first<space>turn<space>to<space>the<space>selectmen<space>race<space>between<space>incumbent<space>and<space>two<space>term<space>selectman,<space>Mark<space>Paolillo,<space>and<space>newcomer<space>Alexandra<space>Rubin.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 139.04 2.80 Anne<space>Marie,<space>how<space>do<space>you<space>see<space>this<space>race<space>turning<space>out?
Belmont_Election_040516 1 142.24 2.48 Well,<space>I<space>think<space>it's<space>an<space>interesting<space>race.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 145.12 6.00 I<space>think<space>it's<space>probably<space>an<space>uphill<space>battle<space>for<space>Alexandra<space>as<space>a<space>very<space>newcomer.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 151.12 2.88 You<space>know,<space>Mark<space>has<space>lived<space>in<space>town<space>for<space>a<space>long<space>time.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 154.08 3.20 He<space>has<space>served<space>for<space>a<space>long<space>time<space>on<space>many<space>committees.

Belmont_Election_040516 1 159.60 4.40 I<space>think<space>it's<space>hard<space>to<space>unseat<space>a<space>selectman<space>with<space>that<space>kind<space>of<space>track<space>record.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 165.28 2.80 I<space>think<space>on<space>the<space>other<space>hand<space>though,<space>it's<space>always<space>nice<space>to<space>have<space>new<space>blood.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 168.08 5.20 You<space>know,<space>it's<space>nice<space>to<space>have<space>a<space>race<space>because<space>you<space>do<space>get<space>an<space>opportunity<space>to<space>discuss<space>the<space>issues.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 173.44 4.16 But<space>I,<space>I<space>guess<space>I<space>have<space>to<space>see<space>Mark<space>coming<space>out<space>of<space>this<space>on<space>top.

Belmont_Election_040516 1 1069.44 0.40 Right.

Belmont_Election_040516 1 1261.36 7.20 So<space>my<space>role<space>now,<space>as<space>a<space>member<space>of<space>the<space>board<space>is<space>to<space>unite<space>the<space>community<space>and<space>we<space>have<space>a<space>number<space>of<space>things<space>that<space>we<space>need<space>to<space>focus<space>on.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1268.72 3.76 We've<space>accomplished<space>a<space>lot<space>over<space>the<space>last<space>six<space>years,<space>but<space>the<space>challenges<space>remain.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1272.56 8.72 And<space>so<space>I<space>hope<space>that<space>Ms.<space>Rubin's<space>supporters<space>and<space>the<space>rest<space>of<space>the<space>town<space>join<space>hands<space>and<space>we<space>work<space>together<space>to,<space>you<space>know,<space>to<space>face<space>those<space>challenges.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1281.68 0.72 Briefly.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1282.40 5.76 Mark,<space>what<space>were<space>some,<space>what<space>do<space>you<space>see<space>as<space>your<space>key<space>issues<space>that<space>you<space>need<space>to<space>focus<space>on<space>now?
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1288.40 7.60 Well,<space>I<space>think,<space>you,<space>you<space>know,<space>and<space>I've<space>said<space>this<space>and<space>we<space>had<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>questions<space>during<space>the<space>campaign,<space>but<space>you<space>know,<space>I<space>think<space>Jack,<space>I<space>think<space>the,<space>the<space>challenges<space>were<space>remained<space>in<space>terms<space>of<space>growth.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1296.00 9.76 I<space>mean,<space>I<space>think<space>our<space>enrollment<space>will<space>continue<space>to<space>increase<space>and<space>because<space>of<space>that,<space>we'll<space>continue<space>to<space>feel<space>the<space>fiscal<space>pressure<space>on<space>our<space>schools<space>and<space>in<space>also<space>the<space>demand<space>on<space>town<space>services.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1305.76 7.84 So<space>our<space>challenges<space>ahead<space>is<space>to,<space>the<space>override<space>helped<space>us<space>stabilize<space>both<space>school<space>and<space>town<space>budgets,<space>but<space>that<space>work<space>needs<space>to<space>continue.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1313.60 4.40 We<space>need<space>to<space>do<space>everything<space>we<space>can<space>to<space>stretch<space>out<space>the<space>utilization<space>of<space>the<space>override<space>funds.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1318.24 12.80 We<space>find<space>ways<space>to<space>manage<space>our<space>costs<space>more<space>effectively,<space>more<space>than<space>we've<space>done<space>in<space>the<space>past,<space>and<space>look<space>for<space>ways<space>to<space>deliver<space>account<space>services<space>in<space>a<space>different<space>way,<space>because<space>we<space>are<space>faced<space>with<space>a,<space>a<space>very<space>important<space>decision<space>on<space>our<space>high<space>school.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1331.04 2.72 We<space>can't<space>let<space>that,<space>enough<space>grant<space>application<space>lasts.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1333.76 7.44 We<space>need<space>to<space>stand<space>behind<space>that<space>as<space>a<space>community<space>and<space>put<space>all<space>of<space>our<space>efforts<space>into<space>that<space>being<space>a<space>success<space>for<space>us.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1341.20 6.40 And<space>because<space>of<space>that<space>capital<space>need,<space>we<space>really<space>need<space>to<space>focus<space>on<space>the<space>operating<space>budget<space>and,<space>and<space>the<space>growth<space>that<space>we're<space>going<space>to<space>experience.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1347.68 5.44 Cause<space>I<space>think<space>that<space>enrollment<space>will<space>continue,<space>which<space>projected<space>to<space>increase<space>by<space>20%<space>by<space>2019.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1353.12 2.48 And<space>that<space>will<space>continue<space>to<space>put<space>pressure<space>on<space>our<space>operating<space>budget.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1355.60 2.00 So<space>that<space>is<space>a<space>significant<space>challenge<space>for<space>us.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1357.68 3.60 And<space>I<space>think<space>there<space>are<space>other<space>issues<space>in<space>town<space>that<space>folks<space>are<space>really<space>concerned<space>about.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1361.28 3.04 I<space>mean,<space>I<space>heard<space>a<space>lot<space>on<space>the<space>campaign<space>trail<space>about<space>the<space>community<space>path.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1364.32 1.76 We<space>absolutely<space>need<space>to<space>solve<space>that<space>issue.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1366.08 6.88 There's<space>been<space>too<space>much<space>divisiveness<space>on<space>that<space>and<space>I'm,<space>and<space>frankly,<space>I'm<space>just<space>wanting<space>to<space>unite<space>everyone<space>behind<space>a<space>solution<space>for<space>that.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1373.12 6.88 And<space>let's<space>just<space>put<space>down<space>sort<space>of<space>the<space>divisive<space>tone<space>and<space>rhetoric<space>and<space>work<space>together<space>to<space>solve<space>that<space>problem.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1380.00 1.44 And<space>there<space>are<space>many<space>other<space>issues<space>as<space>well.
Belmont_Election_040516 1 1381.60 4.56 We<space>have<space>major<space>capital<space>projects<space>in<space>Reno's,<space>that's<space>chair<space>of<space>the<space>capital<space>budget<space>committee.
