To the Editor, I was delighted to learn that Mike Barrett is a candidate for the state Senate seat being vacated by Susan Fargo. When I moved to my neighborhood, impacted by airplanes flying into Hanscom Field, I got involved with the local citizens working to contain Massport’s expansion of the airport. It was then that I met Mike, who has quietly devoted both time and political savvy to this effort. Mike served as the chairman of HFAC (Hanscom Field Advisory Commission), appointed by the Lexington Board of Selectmen to represent them. Behind the scenes he has met over the years with citizen activists and representatives from historical preservation groups who care about limiting the impacts of the airport on this area. His counsel was …
