Marie-Louise Kehoe (born December 12, 1928) is a former member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.[1] She was first elected in 1982 and was reelected in every election through 1992, after which she chose to step down.[1]

She also served for many years as a selectman in Dedham, Massachusetts and was the grand marshal of the 2009 Flag Day Parade.[2]

Planning Board

[edit]

Before becoming a state representative, Kehoe served on Dedham' Planning Board. At the 1972 Annual Town Meeting, the Library Trustees made a new pitch for two of the Endicott Estate's 26 acres, including the garage.[3] Town Meeting appropriated $68,000 to convert the garage to a branch library.[4][5][6] The final cost was $71,000.[7]

The Planning Board rejected the Library Trustee's first proposal for a parking plan when Kehoe changed her vote.[8] The vote delayed the awarding of the contract for the renovation of the Estate's garage into a library.[8]
