Our local towns are in need of strong leadership in Hartford for the upcoming elections. For over 10, and more, years we have witnessed excessive spending without resistance from our elected officials.

The overspending that has been approved annually by our senators and representatives means that our tax money doesn't get back to our local towns, thus causing a burden on our town real estate taxes.

Let's put a stop to it and send conservatives Paul Formica, the first selectman of East Lyme and candidate in the 20th Senatorial District, and Kathleen McCarty, a candidate in the 38th House District and a member of the Waterford Board of Education, to Hartford to protect our needs.
