The Gomes Report
State Representative Shirley A. Gomes, 4th Barnstable District
* Chatham * Harwich * Orleans * Eastham * Wellfleet * Truro * Provincetown *


Fall 2004

VOTE - TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND


Dear Constituent and Friend,


Representative Gomes was given 
a Freedom Fighters Award by the 
Gun Owners Action League and recognized for her work by 
Citizens for Limited Taxation, Massachusetts Nurses' Association,
and the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

This is my tenth edition of the Gomes Report.  It has been my pleasure in each of the years that I have served as your Representative to absorb the cost of printing and mailing a Gomes Report annually to offer you some insight into the highlights of each legislative year.  Copies are also distributed to town halls in Harwich, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown. In addition, copies are left in town libraries and in Councils on Aging, where requested.  It can be read online at http://www.ShirleyGomes.org  which also has an archive of past Gomes Reports.  Again, I remind you that these are brief highlights of a legislative year.  Details of greater depth are available by contacting my Boston office or the Orleans office.   You may also use the “contact" link on the Shirley Gomes.org website to forward something to my attention.  There is also a linkage to http://www.mass.gov  to assist you in obtaining information related to the Commonwealth. 

The business of the House and of the committees and caucus’s I serve on require that most of my time is spent in Boston. I will continue to use the Orleans’s office for private appointments.  However, office hours, which are more public, will continue to be regularly scheduled in each town throughout the district.  So that any constituent can continue to reach me without incurring any cost, my 1-800-715-8480 telephone number, remains available to you.  Other numbers are printed is this issue for your use, as well.

It is my honor and pleasure to serve you.

Sincerely,

Shirley Gomes
State Representative, 4th Barnstable district
