Baldwin has offered unwavering leadership

By Raymond G. Baldwin

Democrat

This has been a contentious campaign, but the time for argument and attack is over. The decision concerning who will lead Trumbull is now in your hands. And, before you make your final decision, I would like to share a few thoughts.

I believe I have offered an unwavering hand and perspective during times that have been very difficult. I believe that my decision-making when economic times were good has allowed Trumbull to move through our current economic crisis in a relatively strong fashion, when compared with many cities and towns.

I have supported the decision to keep our educational system strong and vital, which also helps maintain town property values. And I have worked diligently to improve our town emergency services to create a safe, nurturing and caring environment for all citizens.

I understand taxes have been an issue for many, but I remind you that Trumbull’s taxes have been no higher than other local, comparable towns.

Now, as you make your election decision, please know that in my eight-year tenure as First Selectman, I have been driven by a single thought: To accomplish only what is the right and proper course for Trumbull.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would be honored to serve you again, and continue to build on the many important town projects and programs we have initiated. In the event you have any questions or concerns between now and Election Day, my office is open, as always. Please call me at 203-452-5005.

In closing, I ask you to vote for me and my entire team, so together we can continue to make Trumbull southern Connecticut’s community of choice.

I wish you and your families good luck and good health.
