Show of Support for Mary Tomolonious Re-Election

by Carol Shimelman

I am writing to support the re-election of Mary Tomolonious to the Canton Board of Finance.  With Mary’s re-election to the position she currently holds, there will be no transition period, or learning curve, and the business of the Board of Finance will continue to move forward, seamlessly.

Prior to the Nov. 8, 2011, election, I would strongly urge every voter of the Town of Canton to go to the town’s website, townofcantonct.org, and read the Board of Finance’s charge, so we can all truly understand the scope and breadth of the responsibilities of the Board, and make a well-informed decision.

The Board of Finances’ deliberations and decisions deeply affect each and every resident, and taxpayer, children to senior citizens.

As a long-time resident of the Town of Canton, Mary has served her community on the Board of Selectmen, and as First Selectman, on the Economic Development Agency; she has been active in the Chamber of Commerce, for years she has served as Chair of Sam Collins Day, has been a volunteer at the Canton Historical Society, and she is a member of the Greater Hartford Tourism District; to name but a few of her volunteer activities.

She and her husband, Gary, chose to raise their three children here. When their children were growing up and attended school in Canton, Mary was a dedicated volunteer in the schools, and in sports programs. Mary is a successful business owner, and made a choice to support our town by locating her business in Canton.

Mary has proven herself to be a fiscally responsible and highly valued member of the Board of Finance. 

Vote for Mary, and once again, we will all benefit greatly from her hard work and dedication.
