Newest Selectman-Wendy Warcholik

The newest member of the Haverhill Selectboard, Wendy Warcholik, was sworn in at town meeting on March 8.
Warcholik ran unopposed and replaces outgoing Selectman Peter Heilmann.
"I always knew I wanted to work at the local level," said Warcholik.  "I've done things at the national level, (such as) national budgeting, state budgeting.  It all starts here at the local level."
With a PhD in economics Warcholik has worked on national and state budgets.  She sees the current economic problems in the country and hopes to be able to address them and fix them.
"There are issues with the economy and housing values," said Warcholik.  "I'm very interested in how that's going to effect property taxes in the future with the revaluation that's going to go on."
She also sees what is happening at the state level and how that could effect the town.
"With the state cuts it all trickles down to the local level," said Warcholik.  "We're not sure whats going to happen with the state and what the cuts are going to be.  So until they firm up their budget at the state level in June, we're really not going to know what the cuts are going to be here in Haverhill."
