The rules we create for ourselves are steeped in law. Locally, we work very hard to stay within those bounds regardless of outcomes, because amazing leaders understand the obligation to this principle.
The Town of Southbury and its officials cannot use the term “Selectwoman” in any official capacity because it is not in the Charter to do so. In their official capacity, disregarding that appears to be a breach of legal authority. Bring the issue to referendum and get it changed in the Charter.
Let’s agree to stand for proper governance and the rules that limit what can be done and how it can be done by the people, for the people.
Change is not the issue. Work towards change by doing it properly and within legal boundaries and authority.
