Support Carolee Mason

On May 20

To the Editor:

Having frequently dealt with Carolee Mason in her position as Newtown’s animal control officer, both as a taxpayer and through my work with Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, I know her to be the best animal control officer Newtown has ever had, and one of the most effective in the region. Carolee’s personality is perfect for the job, allowing her to deal equally well with people and animals — a rare combination of qualities — and she is dedicated to doing so.

Carolee had an impressive amount of support at the selectmen’s meeting on April 6; let’s keep it up. Latest published information is that the selectmen, Carolee and attorneys will meet on Wednesday, May 20, at 3 pm in the Alexandria Room at Edmond Town Hall. The public will not be allowed to speak, but our presence will matter. Please make an effort to be there to show your continued support for Carolee.
