DEDHAM - Longtime Dedham Town Meeting representative Thomas E. Gorman, a Republican who recently announced his bid for Norfolk County commissioner, says his sole purpose for running in November is to abolish Norfolk County government.

"At one time, county government played an important role in providing critical services for a number of small communities, but those days have passed," Gorman said in announcing his candidacy.

Gorman said the money spent to support Norfolk County government would be better spent to fund teachers, firefighters, and police officers.
