Wilton has an excellent slate of candidates

You know me as John Lant. You also know me as fireman Lant, Councilman Lant, friend, husband, proud father, grandfather and local businessman. You know that next to my family, the town of Wilton, where I grow up, live and conduct business is the passion of my life. You know that my hair is white, still you know I have the youthful enthusiasm to consistently explore new avenues for the best quality of life for all residents in this great town. You know I’ve saved many lives as a volunteer fireman and in a few words I’m going to attempt to save the great times yet to come in the town of Wilton.

Here’s something you don’t know about me. Several weeks ago I donated a check to a Democratic candidate in another town. This candidate is not only a close friend of my daughter but more important a better candidate for the job than her Republican opponent. On Oct. 25 at the League of Women Voters debate held at the Adirondack College, the only adverse comments about Wilton’s current council were politically orientated with the old cliche, “We’re here to give people a choice.” Well, given a variety offered for selection, regardless of any party affiliation, I assure you the clear “choices” are Judge Gerald Worth for town justice, Art Johnson for town supervisor, John McEachron and Duane Bogardus for town councilmen, Sue Baldwin for town clerk and Kirklin Woodcock for highway superintendent. Look for these excellent candidates on Republican, Conservative and Independence lines.

I ask you to please consider these exceptional candidates as you cast your vote on Nov. 7. John Lant
