To the Editor:
Devin Carney has served Connecticut’s 23rd House District with integrity and has always put us, his constituents, first. As a lifelong resident of the district, Devin has always worked to ensure our quality of life and that our small towns have the resources they need to succeed.
Over the past few sessions, there have been attempts to take away local control of our towns and schools, which would be devastating. The state can’t get its own budget in order, yet they want to control how we run our local governments. Devin has always stood up to these power grabs and works to ensure that our voices are heard through the noise at the Capitol.
He is also very conscientious about local issues. He helped stop a federal rail bypass that would have decimated our shoreline. He recently got DOT to extend service on the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry, which is very important to those who live in Lyme. He always works to help us preserve open space and is always supporting our local non-profits.
With Devin, we know that our towns will be well represented and that’s why we will be voting for him this year.
Sincerely,
Rowland and Nancy Ballek,
Lyme.
