Trumbull’s beauty drew Deyoe to town

By Jane Deyoe

Town Council candidate

R-2nd District

After arriving out East many years ago and house hunting in Trumbull and nearby towns, Trumbull’s beauty kept drawing my husband and me back.

We settled in the Pinewood Lake area and raised a son who attended Booth Hill School, Hillcrest and Trumbull High.

During those years I became involved in the community in many ways, including news reporting for the Trumbull Junior Woman’s club, Booth Hill School and Nichols Boy Scout Troop 67. Also, in my area of town, I joined the Nichols Improvement Association, and I served both as an assistant secretary and on the Board of Governors of the Pinewood Lake Association.

Later, my membership on the Trumbull Republican Town Committee led to my further involvement in Trumbull: Senior Commission, Board of Selectmen, Trumbull Day Commission and the Town Council Finance Committee.

As a selectman, I helped implement and run two senior programs, the Adopt-A-Senior program and the Senior-Ride program, which enhanced the lives of 130 Trumbull seniors who either wanted to be visited or called or wanted transportation. An impressive 109 Trumbull volunteers signed on to visit or call the seniors in the Adopt-A-Senior program. I volunteered at Stern Village and continue to volunteer at the North Street Group Home.

I am extremely pleased to be on Tim Herbst’s ticket. Tim is totally dedicated to the betterment of Trumbull and restoring the integrity of its town government. Tim has put together an impressive, dynamic team, combining new, yet experienced candidates and seasoned, dedicated candidates running for re-election.

A life-long resident of Trumbull, Tim loves the town and knows the right people to lead it honestly and responsibly, while maintaining its strong sense of community.

As a Town Council member, I am dedicated to helping improve Trumbull for all residents. My focus, on the Town Council and the Town Council Finance Committee, has been and is to cut town budget spending wherever possible.

I want to stabilize taxes so that all residents, including our seniors, who are the gems of our community, can continue to live in Trumbull. Also, I plan to be totally available to all North Nichols residents who may have questions regarding the current construction of sanitary sewers in their area of District 2.

This same sewer upgrade occurred in District 1, where residents complained of serious mismanagement of the project.

I want to protect the residents of District 2 from this occurring again. I welcome the opportunity to once again represent every District 2 resident honestly and responsibly.
