Letter: Stevenson Is a Proven Leader Letter: Stevenson Is a Proven Leader Letter: Stevenson Is a Proven Leader
Letter: Stevenson Is a Proven Leader DARIEN, Conn. – The following letter was written by Darien resident Barbara Simms. It is a privilege to write a letter supporting Jayme Stevenson for first selectman. While I have known Jayme and her family for 15 years, I have had firsthand experience working side-by-side with her for six. We were co-presidents of the Darien High School Parents Association, served on the Council of Darien School Parents together and also initiated the Darien High School Guidance Advisory Council. Jayme is a wonderful leader, reaching decisions and taking action after careful and thorough research. She is a…

Letter: Darien Democrats Set Financial Strategies DARIEN, Conn. – The following letter was written by Darien resident Susan Eng. John Lundeen and his team of David Bayne and Vickie Riccardo deserve your vote on Nov. 8. They will bring professionalism and sound financial strategies to town government, which will allow businesses to thrive while assuring homeowners that their tax dollars are being well spent. They support profitable, tax-producing use of the property at 35 Leroy for senior housing. They support creating a new modular senior center at the current site at a price well below what is being proposed. They support creation of a …

Letter: Darien Republicans Take the Time To Serve Letter: Darien Republicans Take the Time To Serve Letter: Darien Republicans Take the Time To Serve
Letter: Darien Republicans Take the Time To Serve DARIEN, Conn. – The following letter was written by Morgan Whittier, a member of the Board of Education who is up for re-election this year. I take issue with the recent misinformed opinions of Democratic Town Committee member Tom Valentino in print and on the web. He questions the credibility of Jayme Stevenson for proposing that selectmen be available for executive session at 6:30 p.m. For the record, I am a publicly elected volunteer member of the Darien Board of Education and I am also a New York commuter. It can be inconvenient for me as well to attend the many scheduled meetings of the…

Letter: Democrats Will Address Darien Flooding Letter: Democrats Will Address Darien Flooding Letter: Democrats Will Address Darien Flooding
Letter: Democrats Will Address Darien Flooding DARIEN, Conn. – I am writing to support the election of John Lundeen as first selectman and his team of David Bayne and Vickie Riccardo for the Board of Selectmen. Public health and safety are key responsibilities of local government. For the past two years, the board has done next to nothing to address flooding issues in Darien. This is a longstanding safety problem that deserves to be at the top of the spending priority list. Lundeen, Bayne and Riccardo support the creation of a Flood and Erosion Control Board to provide necessary flood control planning. Let's move forward now, instead of…
