Paul grew up in Weymouth and was raised with his two siblings by a talented and determined young widow. After graduating from Weymouth South High School he began college and a career as a corporate executive. His corporate career took him to places like New York City and Washington D.C. as well as overseas. Successful but not satisfied, Paul, his wife and 9-year-old twins decided to move back to their hometown and start a new journey.
As a small business owner I know what it is like to bring a passion to fruition. I stand firmly on the side of small business owners in Weymouth and oppose fees and regulations that keep them from doing business in the community. Talented people should not have to jump through hoops to bring their goods or services to the community.
Many local small businesses and trades have expressed the excessive costs, regulations, that impede being competitive in doing business in Massachusetts. Many of these talented and successful people and businesses have decided to close or move out of state. I want to change this.
I am against the proposed natural gas compressor station in North Weymouth.
I strongly oppose a gas tax of any type including the Transportation & Climate Initiative (TCI) passed in early August month by the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
As a resident and a father I stand behind the local and state police and their efforts to keep the citizens of Weymouth and surrounding communities safe. I respect and honor the hard work of the men and women of the Weymouth Police Department and continue to support them.
Supporting small local businesses also supports more local jobs. Decreasing fees and regulations will also help increase employment opportunities at those businesses. This has a direct positive impact on the town as a whole and their immediate neighborhoods. This is especially important during and after the pandemic when so much has been lost.
