I’m disgusted with the pathetic, whining of Paul Frost’s begging for money and your sympathy because he had to answer my challenge to his legally being on the ballot.

But…he didn’t tell you the whole TRUTH.

He needed 150 certified signatures…he only turned in 153! Lazy?

I found 31 possible errors in his submitted paperwork.

What I learned by challenging, is that our nomination rules are not being followed as written. This will be one of the first things I address when elected.

I submitted 194 certified signatures…which were unchallengeable.

100% Voting ATTENDANCE Record means…He shows up for the approximately 25 Roll Calls a year to cast about 12 votes at each. How long would you last in your job if you only “SHOWED UP” 25 days a year?

He DOESN’T FIGHT for state local aid for our town’s schools, roads, etc. These Chapter 90 Revenues, etc. are based on formulas of population, road mileage, etc. He ANNOUNCES these predetermined town payments in the newspapers, etc. to IMPRESS you.

I serve as a reelected member on Millbury’s Planning Board.

Frost never came before our Board to ask for our input or co-operation. Both, Millbury and Auburn, were slapped with the MBTA mandate that REQUIRED setting aside 50 acres where contractors can build 750 multi-family homes “at will”…or the towns SUFFER the LOSS of 3 funding sources! Permit over-building…or be punished!

I SERVED 33 years in the Military Reserve in the USANG, USAFR, USNR, and USMC, with “HONOR” and “100% ATTENDANCE”. My last deployment was Afghanistan. As a leading Petty Officer, I helped my units earn “OUTSTANDING Unit Citations”. Among my personal awards were “OUTSTANDING Airman of the Quarter”, and “OUTSTANDING Sailor of the Quarter”.

My campaign signs are Red, White, and Blue. Frost’s are Yellow.

I’m an ACTIVE MEMBER of Millbury’s Veterans’ Council, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Vietnam Veterans of Auburn, Oxford’s Memorial Honor Guard, Millbury’s Historical Society, Worcester Railers’ Booster Club, and Central Mass. Regional Planning Commission.

I have one daughter who put herself thru medical school to earn her Doctorate Degree. She is now working with distinction at a local hospital, and is paying back her student loans of $200,000.00.

Frost’s supporters have enough money to bury me. They sent out 1 postcard a day for the remaining 5 days before the last election…each costing a minimum of $8,000…or totaling about $40.000. They claimed this in their accounts…not his.

I will “NOT ASK FOR” and will “NOT ACCEPT MONEY” from anyone.

I’m for Education and Election Reform, different driver’s licenses for non-citizens, presenting citizenship ID’s before voting, reduced and frozen real estate taxes for elderly and handicapped near poverty levels, increased Veterans’, Mental Health, Police, Transportation, and Street funding,

When you believe that I’m HONEST, with INTEGRITY and STRENGTH to do the RIGHT THINGS…then help me. “DO SOMETHING”!

Get 10 people to vote for me.

Rep. Paul Frost faces familiar opponent in Terry Burke Dotson

State Rep. Paul K. Frost, R-Auburn, is facing a familiar opponent, but this time, Terry Burke Dotson, a Millbury independent, is campaigning full time and hopes to unseat the longtime incumbent in the 7th Worcester District.

The district is composed of Auburn, Millbury, and parts of Charlton and Oxford.

Dotson, who retired after 33 years in the military reserve in the U.S. Air National Guard, the U.S. Air Force Reserve, the U.S. Navy Reserve, and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, said she’s running because Frost has let her down and, a few years ago, failed to support a resolution approved by Millbury voters supporting reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act.

“Terry Burke DOTSON Announces Candidacy for State Representative, 7th Worcester District”

August 10, 2020 / terryburkedotson.com

I am the most qualified candidate to serve as your next State Representative for the 7th Worcester District of Millbury, Auburn, Charlton’s Precinct 4, and Oxford’s Precincts 2 & 3.

I am an INDEPENDENT candidate…and I believe in WORKING for a living.

After more than 22 years of taking your money, my opponent, Paul Frost’s reason for you to reelect him is a “100% voting attendance”. From the numbers on his website that means showing up, an average of approximately 24 days a year for roll call votes, to cast 12 votes. How long would you last in your job if you only showed up about 24 days a year?

I served 33 years in the Military Reserve in the USANG, USAFR, USNR, and USMC, with “Honor” and “100% Attendance”. My last deployment was in Afghanistan. As a leading Petty Officer, I helped my units earn “Outstanding Unit Citations”. Among my personal awards were “Outstanding Airman of the Quarter”, and “Outstanding Sailor of the Quarter”.

My campaign signs have an American flag, and are Red, White, and Blue. Frost’s are Yellow.

Before I decided to run against Frost, I successfully got a Resolution passed through our Millbury’s Town Meeting to be brought for passage in our Massachusetts Legislature. Frost refused to return my calls, blocked my Emails, took no action on Millbury’s Resolution for over 4 months. Finally, he let it DIE in the House Ways and Means Committee without any representation from him. He did not represent Millbury.

Over the years, I have never found him at the State House. Use elevator 5/6 at the side entrance, pass by all the janitorial supplies and stored water and furniture, until you come to the locked door of Room 542. That is Frost’s office, 15 steps from the Military wing, and they don’t know who he is.

He pleads to keep his job until he can retire at age 60, so that he can put his 3 daughters thru college. Most of us have to work second jobs and take out loans. He hasn’t exerted the effort to better himself in preparation for another job. That’s no reason to be reelected.

Since he has been in office, I’ve completed my second Master’s Degree in Health Education, and an Associate’s Degree in Medical Administration. For the last 5 years I have been working full-time to help local public high school students with Learning Disabilities.

During this COVID-19 pandemic, I offered to volunteer my medical services at a local testing station to relieve providers during the afternoons and weekends. Volunteers were not accepted, only paid staff. I did not want another paid job. As suggested by the school administration, I took Webinars and earned PDP’s toward my MA teaching license recertification. I completed 87 Webinars to include a “Paraprofessional Training Course” and an “Emotional CPR Course”.

He claims that he fights for state local aid for our town’s schools, roads, etc. State Aid like Unrestricted Lottery, and Chapter 90 and 70 Revenues are based on formulas of population, road mileage, and employment levels, etc. He doesn’t “fight” for them. He announces these predetermined payments to the towns in the newspapers to impress you.

I was recently reelected to the Millbury Planning Board. I will continue to serve there as well as the Millbury’s Ponds and Lakes Commission and Youth Commission.

I am also an active member of Millbury’s Veterans’ Council, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, American Legion, and the Vietnam Veterans of Auburn.

I support:

Law and Order

The Second Amendment

Treating the destruction and/or harm done to public or private property or people as a punishable crime

Full funding for local and state police with additional “Restraint Training” like teachers take

Open dialog in public sessions to discuss and attempt to resolve issues of serious concern, instead of resorting to violence.

Better access to Mental Health Providers

Better access to Social Workers

Better Mental Health and Health Care for Veterans

Reducing and freezing real estate taxes for Senior Citizens on SSI

Reducing interest rates on Student Loans

IPads and Technology back-up for 1-12 public school students

I believe in “doing” the Right Thing…not “talking” about it.

Thank you,

Terry Burke DOTSON
