Let’s ‘invest in the future’

BY AGLAE SHAW

I keep coming back to our concerns about how this school bond will impact seniors and those struggling financially. I care deeply about these impacts - they matter. And the reality is, there will never be a time when people in our community aren’t facing financial hardship or living on fixed incomes. That truth can’t be a reason to avoid taking action.

Since 2017, Cape Elizabeth has been trying to address the real structural challenges facing our middle school—issues that stem from how it was originally built. This is our third attempt in eight years, and I believe it’s time to move forward. I trust the experts our citizen volunteers have chosen to guide this process, and I plan to vote yes.

Strong communities are built by people who show up, make thoughtful choices, and invest in the future. Let’s come together and do just that.
