Letter to the Editor: Response by Then-Selectwoman Shoemaker Leads to Support for her Current First Selectman Challenger, Mesham

Posted on by

To the Editor:

“A paltry stipend” that is paid to an elected official should not determine whether that official answers a phone call from his constituent: yet this is the thinking of the current “CEO” of Old Lyme. When needing some help with a town road flooding problem approximately two years ago, this was the response I received [from then-Selectwoman Shoemaker] which ran counter to everything I thought an elected official should do or say.

I will be voting for Mr. Mesham and not for the present office holder whose philosophy totally contradicts my seemingly naive and idealistic view of what a public servant should be.

I urge other Old Lymers to do the same.

Sincerely,

Alice Burbank,
Old Lyme.

  1. That has certainly not been our experience on Library Lane, where she has been very responsive. Where was the flooding?
