Willington Election 2005

This years election is over except for the shouting.  The First Selectman retained his seat and Jack Lewis and I round out the Board of Selectmen.  The cross-endorsement seemed to do the trick with all of the cross-endorsed (Republican/Democrat) candidates victorious and the few Republican/Democrat candidates left on their own being defeated by the Sentinel candidates.  The part more difficult than campaigning has begun and that is tending to the affairs of the Town.  I look forward to the challenges ahead and hope that our elected officials work together to deal with them.  A meeting of the Boards is in order in the near future to discuss what issues we have in common and also to discuss how we all can help implement the final recommendations of the Plan of Conservation and Development.  The recommendations will require a tremendous amount of effort so we can implement the vision of the Townspeople as set forth in that document.

Thank you to all of you who participated in the election.  The election results can be seen at this link - 2005 Election Results
