Letter to the Editor: In Favor of the Candidate Who Voted Against the Land Swap

Dear Editor,

If you need help making a choice in the August 14 Democratic Primary for State Senate in the 33rdDistrict (which includes East Haddam, Colchester, East Hampton and Haddam), one issue provides a sharp contrast – the controversial Haddam Land Swap issue.

The contrast: Mary Ellen Klinck does not support the Land Swap while Jim Crawford voted for it while he was a State Rep last year. 

If you are not familiar with the issue you can research both sides at:  

• Land Swap
• Haddam Bulletin
• Haddam Land Swap

I do not support the land swap and therefore will be voting for the candidate who clearly shares my position – Mary Ellen Klinck.

Thank you,

Pete Govert, Moodus

East Haddam Selectman 2003-2011
