To the Editor:

What do I want in a town clerk? I want an honest, detail oriented, intelligent, ethical, and caring person who can accurately maintain the 300 years of our town’s vital statistics, along with the countless tasks the town clerks office must do.

Sara Frampton is more than aware of the 500-plus duties in the town clerk’s office and like our town website, made note the most obvious duties in her letter. Sara is a well educated, and detail oriented person who will be more than able to take the town clerk’s office to new levels of serving the people of Newtown. From maintaining the website accurately so that we meet all the FOIA statutes consistently, to protecting the integrity of each voter’s ballot, I am confident that Sara Frampton will exceed all expectations of the town clerk’s position in an unbiased and professional manner.
