Lincoln attorney Peter Georgiou, a candidate for the Governor’s Council in the upcoming primary election in September, will be featured at a debate on Saturday, March 12 in Bemis Hall. The event, which is sponsored by the Lincoln Democratic Town Committee, will serve to introduced Georgiou and the other candidates and inform Lincoln voters of the role the Council plays. There will be a reception with coffee and refreshments starting at 9:30 a.m., and the debate will be held from 10 a.m. to noon.
The Massachusetts Governor’s Council, also known as the Executive Council, is composed of eight individuals elected from districts and the Lieutenant Governor, who serves ex officio. The eight councilors are elected from their respective districts every two years. The Council meets weekly to record advice and consent on warrants for the state treasury, pardons and commutations, and recording advice and consent to gubernatorial appointments such as judges, clerk-magistrates, public administrators, members of the Parole Board, Appellate Tax Board, Industrial Accident Board and Industrial Accident Reviewing Board, notaries, and justices of the peace.
I wish to thank the Lincoln Democratic Town Committee and its Chair, Gary Davis, for stepping up to the plate and putting this debate together. The first city or town in the 3rd Governor’ Council Dist. (comprised of 32 cities and towns) to have done so. I am hopeful that others will follow the LDTC lead.
It’s great to be a resident of Lincoln and to serve in Lincoln’s Housing Commission.
Truly,
Peter
