Selectman Candidate Spencer McIlmurray Wants Concerted Effort Against State Interference
|
Darien town officials need to counter state interference in local taxing, zoning and housing decisions with strategies that show state lawmakers that Town Hall is addressing problems better than the state can, says Spencer McIlmurray, one of four GOP candidates for selectman. Registered Republicans will meet 7 p.m. Monday at a town caucus to select a nominee from four candidates. McIlmurray and Kip Koons are the two candidates endorsed by the Republican Town Committee. Koons, however, has said he’s running on a “ticket” with First Selectman Jayme Stevenson (who is unopposed within the Republican Party) and incumbent Selectman Susan Marks, who was not endorsed. Joe Warren is also a candidate for one of the two spots.
