Letter to the Editor: Save the Ferries

Leif Nilsson, head of the Chester Merchant's Association, suggests writing your representatives in an effort to fight for the ferries to remain in service:

The ferries are indeed in danger of closing. Here is a simple sample email that you can use as a template to write to your senator and representative:

I am writing to encourage you to fully fund operating and capital expenses for both the Rocky Hill - Glastonbury and Chester - Hadlyme ferries asprovided for in the budget originally adopted by the legislature.

And do not permit the repeal of Section 13a-252 of the State Transportation law, which requires the state to operate both ferries.

Representative Phillip Miller: Philip.Miller@cga.ct.gov

Senator Paul Doyle: Form to mail Senator Doyle

Representative Antonio Guerrera: Tony.Guerrera@cga.ct.gov

Long live the ferries!

Come to the Hadlyme Public Hall this Sunday evening at 7:00 to learn how the towns of East Haddam, Lyme and Chester are organizing to use our legal system thru existing state statues to reopen the ferry.
