FRANCO’S PROACTIVE AGENDA TO SUPPORT SENIORS
Paxton/Worcester, MA…Today Paul Franco, Republican candidate for State Representative in the Thirteenth Worcester District, announced his plan for helping seniors across the district.
“Our elder generation built this great nation. They must have the opportunity to live their retirement years in peace and dignity,” said Franco.
The Franco Senior Plan pledges that as the next State Representative, he will hold regular senior town meetings, work to decrease the cost of long term insurance, lower the tax burden on seniors, help veterans, and create stiffer penalties for criminals who target seniors.
“As the next State Representative, I will be devoted to assisting the fastest growing and most vulnerable segment of the population-seniors. Whether it is tougher sentences for criminals who target seniors or providing tax relief, I will be a leader for our seniors,” stated Franco.
Franco, who has already taken the No New Taxes pledge, wants seniors to be able to maintain their financial independence and not be taxed out of their home. He will work to lower taxes on savings and to provide a tax credit for low income seniors.
“High costs are forcing too many seniors to leave their homes. We can do better for our seniors,” added Franco.
Lieutenant Colonel Paul J. Franco just came off active duty as a US Army Reservist. He has been working as a Soldiers’ Counsel at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC, for the past year as a mobilized US Army Reservist.
Besides being an officer in the US Army Reserve since 1980, Franco has lived in Worcester for 22 years where he has practiced law. He has worked as an attorney with the Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia for the past 10 years. Franco has also been active within the community serving on the West Tatnuck Elementary Parents’ Advisory Council, Christ the King Church Parish Council, and as Director of Tee-ball and AA Boys Baseball Leagues for 2008-2009 with the Jesse Burkett Little League. He has also coached and served on the Board of Directors for the St. Peter’s Church basketball league and he has coached youth soccer in Worcester since 1994.
Franco has been married to Mary Ann Franco for nearly 27 years and they have six children, ranging in ages from eight to 25. All of his children are or have attended the Worcester Public Schools. Franco plans to use his leadership and experience in his military and law practice to help the Commonwealth make the tough decisions necessary to stimulate the economy, create jobs and improve the quality of life for his constituents.
