Letter to the Editor: Why Martha? ‘Nice Guy’ Tim is Not ‘Right Person for the Job Today’ … and More Reasons
To the Editor: I was stopped the other day by a neighbor and friend, a Republican, who said, “I see all these Martha Shoemaker signs. Who is she and why should I vote for her?” I was in a rush, so I told him I’d get back to him. This is what I said. Tim Griswold has been around forever, and he is a nice guy. But he’s not the right person for the job today. Old Lyme … [Read more...] about Letter to the Editor: Why Martha? ‘Nice Guy’ Tim is Not ‘Right Person for the Job Today’ … and More Reasons

Letter to the Editor: Republican Plans Will Take Old Lyme Down Wrong Path
To the Editor: The Republican candidates for Old Lyme Selectmen are running on two planks: regionalization is wrong and grants are bad. They are incorrect on both counts and will lead our town in the wrong direction. Bonnie Reemsnyder and Mary Jo Nosal are doing a great job and we must keep them in office.

Letter to the Editor: Still Not Seeing Eye to Eye–Bernblum Challenges Hutchinson’s Latest Argument on Town Spending
To the Editor: In my letter of November 2 to LymeLine I asserted that Nancy Hutchinson’s letter of November 1, in which she argued that a Reemsnyder administration would mean excessive tax increases for Old Lyme, was based on misleading information.

Letter to the Editor: Challenging Three Reasons Cited to Support Carter
To the Editor: Cathy Carter is running against Bonnie Reemsnyder for First Selectwoman in Old Lyme. Letters in LymeLine have cited three reasons to support Cathy: her education, her experience, and, apparently, her opposition to state involvement in town projects. I take issue with each of these points. 1. Cathy took college courses in public management and public … [Read more...] about Letter to the Editor: Challenging Three Reasons Cited to Support Carter
