To the Editor:
I strongly recommend electing Peter Hunt to a regular position on the Old Lyme Board of Assessment Appeals. What are the qualifications needed for the job? In my view they are fairness, intelligence and thoughtfulness. You will not find anyone who embodies those qualities better then Peter.
Having served six years as an Alternate on the BOAA, Peter is fully familiar with its procedures and protocols. He is also well-versed in the relevant legal principles regarding property assessments and the appeals process. More subtly, he has learned to listen closely to the arguments presented on both sides and to distinguish between fact and fancy.
Peter is now retired from a 42-year career in health care and education. His PhD in clinical psychology makes him particularly well-qualified to be an objective, careful and conscientious decision-maker.
He is a committed contributor to our community in many ways, serving as a director of the Lyme-Old Lyme Food Share Garden and the Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau. He is also a justice of the peace.
Our town will be well served to vote Peter into a regular position on the BOAA on November 7th.
Sincerely,
Joseph G Soucie,
Old Lyme.
Editor’s Note: Peter Hunt is endorsed by the Old Lyme Democrats for election to a four-year term to the Old Lyme Board of Assessment Appeals.
