Letter: Penny Young Addresses New Canaan’s Needs ‘In a Fiscally Conservative Fashion’

By |

Dear Editor,

I am writing in support of Penny Young’s candidacy for Town Council. I have known Penny for 20 years, and have worked with her on the board of the League of Women Voters for the past 15, including working with her closely to educate the public on town matters and to promote good governance when I was president of the League. In her role on Town Council, Penny has been a leader in our community focusing on the same types of issues. Assigned by the chair of the Town Council to follow the Charter provisions for several years, she identified issues ripe for study, discussion and possible change. Ultimately she requested that the Council form a Charter Revision Commission, and was selected to serve on that Commission.
