My response to the community for my actions. I would like to take a moment of your time to explain my thoughts and actions as referenced in the New Canaanite over the weekend. But before I do that, let’s go back over the past 30 years.
My wife and I moved to New Canaan over 30 years ago. We found this community welcoming, warm and giving. Over the years we have volunteered for many activities.
My wife and I moved to New Canaan 30 years ago. We raised our two boys, made many friends and rolled up our sleeves to volunteer in community activities. Personally, I have been on the Republican Town Committee (five years as chairman), Town Council (10 years), Fire Commission and currently Police Commission. I have a pretty good idea of how this town runs, what has worked and what has not. I have assisted a number of first selectmen and selectmen over the years and while we didn’t always agree on every course of action, we debated, respected each other, took a vote and moved forward.
