LETTER: Willington Selectwomen Committed to New Chapter

Thank you to the voters of Willington for re-electing us as your First Selectwoman and Selectwoman. We are humbled by your support and the energy our townspeople put into the elections. It was a lively campaign, and we are committed to the work ahead of us.

We vow to weigh wisely the issues of our aging schools and the best education we can offer our children, to address the crumbling infrastructure in some of our homes and roadways, to push for creative economic development that meshes with our small-town charm, and to be watchful of our tax rate – one of the lowest in the region – as we do all of the above.

But we need your help. We encourage you to take part in town events, share your best thinking with us, and engage our town boards at meetings. The next opportunity for the public is our Nov. 13 town meeting, Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Old Town Hall on the Green. Several meaty issues are on tap for a yea or nay vote.

We hope to see you there, offering your questions and comments.

We are proud to be leaders in Willington and are serious about our commitment to the town and every one of you.

Erika G. Wiecenski, First Selectwoman
Liza Boritz, Selectwoman
Willington
