Letter: ‘NIMBY’ Response to Oenoke Ridge Proposal Disappointing

As a resident of New Canaan since 1982, I have always been disappointed by the attitude of the town concerning senior residents. Unfortunately, this has continued with the “Not in My Back Yard” response to the most recent project before the Planning & Zoning Commission. The increasing number of aging residents seems to demand that we be more generous and realistic about providing for our population right here in New Canaan. Every town around us has allowed a property to serve this need. New Canaan still remains unwilling because we have not found the perfect place in the many years of discussion.

Letter: Kevin Moynihan for First Selectman

Dear Editor,

I am writing to endorse for election on November 5th, our incumbent candidate for First Selectman, Kevin Moynihan. In his two years of service to our community, Kevin has brought as strong sense of business management ability to our town government.   He has been able to identify key issues of concern to our community, digging deep on the numbers related to parking, efficient management of town hall, and the much needed improvement of cell service to our suburban community. His background in law and management of a public company has allowed him to serve us with efficiency in our community. His experience in town government as an elected member of Town Council for four years adds invaluably to having Kevin continue as our first selectman.
