To the Editor:

Newtown is at a crossroads! Now is the time for the voters of Newtown to step up and elect the most qualified of the candidates presented.

Pat Llodra and Will Rodgers represent all that Newtown needs. They are a very competitive, capable, and qualified team. Pat has the most managerial, nonpolitical, budgetary knowledge and experience of any of the candidates. She is level headed, open minded, and accessible. Will, her running mate, is an extremely devoted and committed man to the causes of Newtown, having served on the Legislative Council for many years, several as its chairman. He knows what the town faces and is willing to step up to the plate to see that it happens.

My recommendation to the voters of Newtown, if you want to move forward in a positive way, is to vote the Llodora/Rodgers ticket. They are open in their views, open to others viewpoints, and have the facts that are needed to move the town in the right direction.

Thank you for considering the above viewpoints.
