By Michelle Hayes, Scarborough Town Council
My first year on the Town Council has passed in what has felt like a "blink of an eye!" I anticipated many issues that would come before the Council but I couldn't have imagined the variety of topics and challenges our Town has faced in 12 short months. I am grateful for the learnings and the support from seasoned councilors, staff experts, and citizens who have patiently shared their knowledge, opinions, and ideas. As we enter election season, I started thinking about the VOICES that have influenced our Town Council in 2026.
