There will be a debate sponsored by the Lyme-Old Lyme Chamber of Commerce and The Day at 7:30 p.m. this evening, Thursday, Oct. 29, in the Old Lyme Town Hall, which will feature the four candidates for Old Lyme Board of Selectmen. The candidates are:
First Selectman
(Vote for one)
Bonnie Reemsnyder (D – incumbent)
Cathy Carter (R)
Selectman
(Vote for one)
Mary Jo Nosal (D – incumbent)
Arthur “Skip” Sibley (R – incumbent)
It is important to note that whoever is not elected First Selectman immediately becomes eligible for one of the two selectmen positions. Those positions are filled by the top two vote-getters out of the three remaining candidates (after the First Selectman has been appointed) but there must be minority representation between the three positions.
The Chamber and LYSB have requested that we offer LymeLine.com readers the opportunity to submit questions for possible inclusion in the debate.
Questions for the board of selectmen debate will be selected by representatives from the Chamber, The Day and the debate moderators, Paul Choiniere, managing editor of The Day and Olwen Logan, editor of LymeLine.com.
Send your questions to [email protected] with the subject line ‘Questions.‘ The deadline for receiving questions for consideration is Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Polls will be open at the Firehouse on Hamburg Road in Lyme and at the Cross Lane Firehouse in Old Lyme from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Absentee ballots are available through the Town Clerk in each town.
