A note in support of Joe Visconti for Town Council

To The Editor, It is time for a real change in Town Government as we head into some very difficult times for West Hartford. We are facing revaluation, higher energy costs, MDC rate increases and probable state cuts in municipal funding, and at the same time demanding more in Town services and Education funding. I am writing this letter in support of Joseph Visconti for Town Council. Many would ask me why I would want to support an Independent Candidate, especially one that has stirred up so much controversy in West Hartford. I support him because he has taken the time to understand the issues, and come up with some new approaches to solving the issues facing us. He has stirred up controversy because the difference between Joe and other candidates is that he is willing to share the political inside with the electorate so that they can make informed voting decisions and understand the issues completely. The people representing the status quo don't like that. Joe will not tell you half truths and hide things under the rug. He won't allow Town administration to continue to play accounting games or call the shots or make up their own convenient ethics rules. Joe is not in the running for ego, power and control. He wants to insure that the taxpayer is getting more than a fair shake, and Joe has a no nonsense plan to make our town schools and public works be the best they can be with the limited resources that we have. I am voting for Joe because he isn't about politics and hidden agendas, but because I know he doesn't represent the "same old same old" in local politics and he isn't controlled by those higher up in the political food chain.
