Ridgefield Letter: I’m voting to put Susan Baker, Tracey Miller, Kory Salomone and David Tatge on the new Inland Wetlands Board

Protecting Ridgefield’s wetlands has to be a priority in this election.  They are nature’s filtration and flood mitigation systems that we must preserve for our future.

I’m voting to put Susan Baker, Tracey Miller, Kory Salomone and David Tatge on the new Inland Wetlands Board because I know the Democratic team will prioritize this important mission.

These candidates are highly experienced with real-world, in the trenches experience in the fields that matter--state and local land-use regulations, environmental law and plant systems and ecology, open space planning and economic development. They understand the local implications of proposed looser Federal standards for wetland protection. They aim to ensure that Ridgefield’s approach isn’t regressive but rather forward-thinking, innovative and supportive of sustainable development.
