-- State Representative DebraLee Hovey (R-112)
What is the Republican Vision for Monroe?My opponent Tom Buzi (D) claims that the Republican Party has no vision. I would like to take a moment to examine his statement and then ask you to decide if you agree when you vote in the November election. Democrats have held the Office of First Selectman for the past 14 years. During this tenure, three successive Democrat First Selectmen, including the current incumbent, failed to make the tough decisions that needed to be made. We are now paying the price for their lack of vision. THIS IS THE DEMOCRAT VISION FOR MONROE!FACT: In 1995 the Republican First Selectman proposed the purchase of Whitney Farms Golf Course. If the purchase had been made it would have been paid for in 2004 by golfers, not taxpayers. The Town would own Whitney Farms Golf Course free and clear today. At the time, the Democrat First Selectman candidate and Democrat Town Council members actively opposed and campaigned against the acquisition. They characterized the purchase as a “money loser.” If the acquisition had been made the Town would now have a first class recreation area for our citizens to enjoy as well as the substantial revenue that the golf course now generates, money which could now go to good use to repair our deteriorating streets and roads. Mr. Buzi, where was the vision? THIS IS THE DEMOCRAT VISION FOR MONROE!FACT: A Monroe developer approached a Democrat First Selectman about a commercial development at Technology Drive on the Trumbull/Monroe border. The developer was rebuffed. A medical center was built on the property but not on the Monroe portion of the building lot. Trumbull got the property taxes; Monroe got the parking lot! Mr. Buzi, where was the vision? THIS IS THE DEMOCRAT VISION FOR MONROE!FACT: THIS IS THE DEMOCRAT VISION FOR MONROEFACT:
IT’S TIME TO RESTORE THE VISION FOR MONROE!A succession of Democrat First Selectmen including the incumbent have made or failed to make decisions which have negatively impacted our community and it is time for a change. It is the Democrats who lack vision and Monroe cannot afford more of the same misguided leadership. We need real vision for Monroe.
As First Selectman of Monroe I Will:
I hope you will join me and VOTE FOR A NEW VISION FOR MONROE. 14 YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION IS ENOUGH! |
