Essex National Heritage Area awards Mayor of Salem, Kimberly Driscoll, 2011 Essex Heritage Hero.
Kimberly Driscoll, if not for regional heritage, for your own city of Salem, please be a hero and save Spring Pond Woods from development. Please help save ceremonial Native American Sites, an historic Arboretum, a refuge for wildlife. Please protect the quality of life for Salem and surrounding regions, which through centuries have loved the traditions in this open space. Please save a good campground, which serves 1000 needy children in the North Shore. If you need evidence, we have it. Please listen.
Essex National Heritage Area, please ask Mayor of Salem, Kimberly Driscoll, your 2011 Essex Heritage Hero to help protect our county's heritage in Spring Pond Woods.
According to Essex National Heritage Area:
"Mayor Kim Driscoll has become a rising star among elected public servants in our region, in large measure due to her can-do approach to many of the challenges facing local government today. Mayor Driscoll recognizes the value of public-private partnership, working closely with the Salem Partnership, Salem State University, local and regional Chambers of Commerce and Business Associations and Essex Heritage to help drive economic development and cultural tourism in our region. She holds our National Park Service sites and assets in high esteem and works closely with all levels of government to advance the quality of life for Salem and regional residents."
Please write to Essex National Heritage, to help them be aware:

10 right things do not make up for one huge wrong!
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget St. Joe's church in Salem... that makes two!
ReplyDeleteKimberley Driscoll a heritage hero? Thats messed up. This must be a mistake. Essex heritage needs to do some homework, to see box stores do not support the local economy. If heritage matters, she should not be awarded. This is setting the wrong precedent. If Essex Heritage wishes to be taken seriously from now on, they need to be regional thinkers and see what is happening in the community, instead of making friends with developers.
ReplyDeleteDemons fighting you Driscoll? I can't believe she is actually accepting the honor.
ReplyDeleteIt is shameful. I emailed my opposition to Kimberley Driscoll receiving this award, and I urge others to do the same at the e-mail address listed above.
