As we all know Election Day is almost upon us. On
Tuesday, November 5th, legal registered voters are allowed to cast their
ballots for the people of their choice to represent them for the next two years
in Connecticut's municipal elections. It a vital part of our democracy that
many choose to follow and make their voices heard and a path where many could
not be bothered to spend 10 minutes of their lives in actually doing. In
my opinion many of those who choose not to vote are the loudest complainers of
what is going on in our society and community. Do not complain if you do
not vote. The time of election here in Wallingford we again hear a tale of two
cities, one that is horribly run with massive taxes, high costs, a lack of technology and a path to
economic oblivion. And then the economic reality of a prosperous,
dynamic, efficiently run, low tax, low electric cost community run by a
Republican led Town Council and a Mayor who has been office for many years
placing Wallingford's needs above his own and his own political gain. I see a familiar pattern each election here in town. The Democrat contender paints the town as a backwards and illiterate community with pay to play schemes, etc., with only his new tax and spend policies bring the town into the 21st century. I do not know what town he lives in but it can not be Wallingford.
We have strong Republican leaders who place Wallingford's interest over
their political ego on the Board of Education, Town Council, and in the Mayor's office. Wallingford's strong Republican
leadership has been able to keep a AAA bond rating for many years now, has been
able to keep taxes low, has been able to have the lowest electric rates in the
state and provide effective local services, and a strong educational system for our
youth. Wallingford's Republican leadership has
been a dynamic force in keeping Wallingford moving forward economically and
growing.
Wallingford's Republican leadership should become a model
for our state. It is not however the template that our state government
uses. It is far from it.
Mayor William Dickinson has led Wallingford and continues
to lead Wallingford as an elected official should. He is economically
conservative and understands that taxpayers monies is not unlimited. He
is also legally bound by the countless unfunded mandates that Connecticut
government places on its cities and towns that increases our spending.
Mayor Dickinson has led by example never to be brought up on any ethics charge
in all of the years he has been in office.
On November 5th Wallingford voters have the opportunity
to extend forceful, economically rational and ethical government in Wallingford
by voting for Mayor Dickinson for reelection along with the entire Republican
slates for Board of Education and Town Council. We see a well-run town
due to Wallingford's Republican leadership. They deserve to continue to
run Wallingford for the next two years. Vote Republican on November 5th.
