Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Wilton Absentee Ballot Precinct Selected for State Audit (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton's absentee ballot precinct has been randomly chosen for a state-run post‑election audit of the Aug. 11 primaries, with no issues suspected in the town's results. Local registrars describe strict bipartisan safeguards, from supervised absentee voting in senior facilities to chain‑of‑custody records and public tabulator testing, all aimed at protecting Wilton voters' confidence in how their ballots are counted.
• 'Trying Not to Be an 'Amen Chorus' for Hines': SSND Project Supporters Vow to Hold Developer to Its Promises (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton residents are sharply divided over Hines' proposal to turn the former School Sisters of Notre Dame property on Belden Hill Road into a 280‑unit senior living community, a decision that could reshape local zoning and senior housing options. Supporters' group Support the Sisters backs the plan but vows to pressure Hines on building height, setbacks and underground parking, while opponents warn about traffic, infrastructure strain and precedent for future large projects.
• 10 CT high school football teams helped or hurt by 2026 schedules (thehour.com) — Wilton High's football team faces a much tougher 2026 schedule after last year's run to the Class MM semifinals, with seven opponents coming off playoff seasons. Despite graduating key receivers and its quarterback, Wilton returns star running back Dennis Dustin and a recent history of success against powerhouses like Greenwich, setting up a challenging but intriguing fall for local fans.
