| Steve Vavrek For Monroe First Selectman |
|
Today in Monroe, we have an Administration that has all of the answers but no solutions. It is an Administration that is quick with excuses, but slow with results. The current First Selectman has misrepresented the re-evaluation process, wasted taxpayer’s money, silenced citizens at public meetings, and publicly misrepresented planning and zoning issues. It is time for a change. Ask yourself these questions about this Administration:
As First Selectman I pledge to:Restore Trust In Leadership: I will not take political sides. I will not favor one interest group during the budget process. I will listen to all, follow the will of the majority and always act in the best interests of Monroe. Encourage Transparency and Open Communication: Your point of view is encouraged and welcome. There will be no more re-evaluation debacles. Restore the Infrastructure: I will immediately form a task force to recommend the best and most economical way to put our major roads and streets back into good repair and develop a plan to accomplish the task. Recharge Economic Development: I will encourage sound economic development and rational growth to widen our tax base. I will ensure that all of Town Hall is responsive and cooperative in these efforts. As your First Selectman I promise to devote all of my energy to Building a Better Monroe. I look forward to working with you to make it happen. Sincerely,Steve Vavrek |
I am both honored and humbled to be the Republican candidate for First Selectman of Monroe. If elected, I look forward to the opportunity to serve our community and to lead our town through these turbulent times. Over the past 21 years I have been both an elected official and community leader in our town, and I want to use that experience to make Monroe what it can be. Democrats have occupied the First Selectman’s office for over twelve years. During that time the office of First Selectman has slowly changed from being the voice of the people to the place it is today: a CEO model of top down management and political division, where too many of our citizens feel disenfranchised.
