After 12 years in municipal government, The Acton Beacon reports that Town Treasurer Stan Smith will step down to pursue his passion of mystery writing.
"I’ve always thought I’d like to give it a shot, and now that I’m about to turn 45, it seems like the right time of life as well as the right opportunity to make a change of this kind," Smith wrote in his letter to Town Administrator Natalie Lashmit. Smith commended the town and wished his colleagues the best of luck.
We wish you luck, too, Stan. Maybe if you hit it big, other politicians will follow your lead.
Bush wouldn’t write mysteries. Unless it involved Scooby Doo.
