Lant: About the People, Not the Politics

By Bob Burns | Letters to the Editor

I’m seeing very disturbing signs in the Town of Wilton, posted by the Democratic candidates for Town of Wilton positions, which uses the words, “shake up Wilton politics.”

I moved to Wilton for many reasons, including no town or highway taxes, Gavin Park, walking trails, and many great services. The existing political party in Wilton is responsible for the excellent quality of life we have enjoyed in Wilton for many years. Leaders of the Town of Wilton have consistently implemented fiscally and socially responsible practices for decades, which will allow the Town to flourish for generations to come. A politician only cares about the next election. A true leader cares about leaving the Town a desirable place to raise a family for future generations. John Lant is about the people, not about the politics.

So I have to wonder, why would anyone want to “shake up Wilton politics?” If it isn’t broke, what is there to fix?
