October 20, 2025 | A letter to the editor of the Woodbridge Town Chronicle

To the Editor,

It’s often said that “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”

​

In their recent mailing, Chairman Ellen Scalettar and the WDTC have certainly shown their admiration for the Common Ground for Woodbridge’s excellent mailers. Looking at the WDTC flyer, I thought, “You nearly nailed it.” The design is almost identical, but the content is missing two essentials: truth and transparency.

​

To begin with it is untrue and ridiculous to say Common Ground for Woodbridge candidates “have active engaged in delaying growth in Woodbridge” or that their campaign involves “out of town CT Republican political operatives.”

Common Ground for Woodbridge is true to its name. It is a powerful coalition of town residents of all affiliations eager to rise above typical party politics and work together to solve the huge problems we are facing. They are fed up with the Democratic administration’s controlling tactics and bungling of issues from zoning and taxes to economic development and the future of the former CCW and Beecher Road School.

​

The Common Ground for Woodbridge candidates for BOS have expertise and experience in finance (Javier), law (Rob), land use/conservation (Andrea), and even in running the town (Amey). They are ready to roll up their sleeves and work for all of us.

​

As a lifelong resident who loves Woodbridge, I urge you to vote for positive change with Common Ground for Woodbridge.

​

Vote Row B on November 4.

​
