It’s time for Wilton to have new judge

For the past four years I have sat on the Wilton Town Board and I have heard many complaints from our residents relating to violations of our town zoning code and observed the failure of our court system to enforce the law.

I saw a hoarder being allowed to accumulate as much junk in his front yard as he wanted, a fellow doing auto repairs in a residential neighborhood and a business owner being allowed to store nearly 50 unsafe, rusty and unregistered trailers, and in each of these cases year after year without being fined.

We have a court system that is not the same for all. Because of this I see an outsider (running for town justice) who is not entrenched in our town as an asset and not a liability. It must be difficult to properly enforce the law for friends or neighbors. Just think of it. A good town justice will be able to uphold the law, no matter who stands before him or her. Our zoning code in Wilton is pretty clear; there is no gray area.

So before you jump on the bandwagon and vote for your “hometown” judge, remember that our laws need to be enforced for one and for all equally to keep our roads and town safe and property values intact.

Please consider voting for Eric Rosenberg. He is a lawyer who will bring his experience to Wilton and apply our laws fairly. Joanne Klepetar Wilton
