Affordable For Who?
A letter to the editor in The Woodbridge Town Chronicle
Dear Neighbor,
I’ve heard my whole life that Woodbridge just needs to build more housing, and our problems will be solved. Add a couple dozen “affordable” units here, another dozen there, and everyone’s better off—right? Well, in the words of Norm Kelly: “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.”
We can debate how to do affordable housing as long as we want, but can we do it in good faith when it’s already unaffordable for the people here? For example, look at this year’s dilemma: about a $1,300 jump per house in taxes just this year alone.
And the pattern isn’t limited to a few unlucky households. When you look at the distribution of tax...continue reading here

“Let Voters Beware” on Unchecked Development and Town Spending
A letter to the editor in The Woodbridge Town Chronicle
To the editor (and all Woodbridge neighbors),
“Caveat emptor!” According to the dictionary: “let the buyer beware.”
As local elections loom, it’s a clarion call to safeguard the physical attributes of our town at a crossroads; we could lose forever what each campaign team calls, “the largest unprotected parcel in Woodbridge.”
With plans in Washington finalized to allow oil and gas drilling in the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, it seems imperative locally to preserve the natural features, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities we can, specifically at the CCW.

Zoning & the Role of the First Selectman
Dear Neighbor,
Last night, in yet another Town Plan and Zoning commission meeting, the saga of the 804 Fountain Street proposal continued. The public hearing was continued to December 1st because the TPZ had not yet received professional feedback on certain aspects of the developer’s latest plans. You can view the meeting here:
Against this backdrop, it’s worth examining the role of the First Selectman in setting zoning policy. Our Town Charter specifically defines the First Selectman’s role as follows:
Woodbridge Town Charter, Section 5-4:
General responsibility.

Our Land, Our Legacy - What You're Not Being Told about the CCW Master Plan
Dear Neighbor,
The former Country Club of Woodbridge (CCW) is a public asset that, if developed thoughtfully, can benefit Woodbridge residents and the entire region, serving as a lasting source of community pride and cohesion. Developing a plan for this property that aligns with community input was a primary reason for my Board of Selectmen candidacy in 2023. I am deeply disappointed by both the planning process and outcome and feel compelled to share my perspective.
Don’t be misled by claims of “success.” A closer look reveals the following: (1) the Master Plan presented to the Board of Selectmen on September 10, 2025 does NOT have unanimous support from the Board; (2) the plan does not fully reflect public or Board of Selectmen input; (3) the plan lacks any firm commitment to permanently conserve what it calls “open space;” and, (4) the projected $2 million in annual revenue is highly questionable. Let me explain....continue reading here
