Letter to the Editor: “A vote for Jennifer Tooker and Andrea Moore is a vote for continuing Westport’s town governmental excellence.”
Letter to the EditorTo the Editor:
I would like to encourage Westport voters to elect Jennifer Tooker as First Selectperson and Andrea Moore as Second Selectperson on November 2. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Jennifer for a number of years while I was a Board of Finance member and Chairman. They are both highly intelligent, reasoned, competent leaders with extensive business administration and town government experience. Their main objective is to represent the residents of Westport and provide the services necessary and needed, while at the same time being mindful of the impact of the costs on taxes.
As members of the Board of Finance, they have been successful in holding Westport’s tax rate relatively constant, a significant achievement considering the financial problems of other nearby communities and the State of Connecticut. Jennifer Tooker also served on the Board of Education and both are supporters of keeping Westport’s school system as one of the best in the state and region.
A vote for Jennifer Tooker and Andrea Moore is a vote for continuing Westport’s town governmental excellence. Tammy and I urge you to elect these proven managers and leaders as First and Second Selectpersons.
Tammy and John Pincavage
Westport, CT 06880
