To the Editor:

We have read with great interest the letters in Killingworth Today and the other local press in support of one or the other candidates for First Selectman. As registered Democrats we were quite disappointed that the recent party caucus chose not to renominate Marty for a second term despite his record of accomplishment: purchase of the Wettish property to expand recreational facilities for the youth of the town, upgrading of the town's infrastructure, more active management of the town workforce. I have recently had the opportunity to work with Marty on researching the possibility of installing alternative energy sources to offset or even eliminate the town's rising energy expenses and have found him to be a man who has no shortage of ideas to improve the lot of his fellow citizens.

With Marty we have had a full-time, energetic First Selectman committed to getting things done for the town, a marked contrast with his immediate predecessors in the office. Marty is a man with ideas and the desire to improve Killingworth as opposed to mere maintenance of the status quo. He is not afraid to make decisions and to take responsibility for the outcome, good or bad. We believe that Marty has earned the opportunity to finish the job he has started and will be supporting the Killingworth Progressives in the upcoming election.
