09/09/11 Tod Laudonia Is A Disaster With Statements Going Out Late, Lost Taxpayers' Checks, And Is Unqualified, Inept And Unconcerned About Taxpayers


Tod Laudonia Is Seriously Deficient For The
Job Of Tax Collector And We Can Do Better.


To the editor:

Lou Caravella was a hard act to follow for tax collector. Tod Laudonia was again nominated by the Republican Town Committee for tax collector in spite of a disastrous first term replete with statements going out late, lost taxpayers' checks, and lack of information; coupled with a surprising disregard for the general confusion and inconvenience that ensued.

He has been unqualified, inept and unconcerned. Tod Laudonia is seriously deficient for this job and we can do better.

We are very fortunate to have a candidate of Bill Grad's qualifications for tax collector. He has the credentials, ability and character for the job. He has degrees from Princeton and Stanford, where he developed critical thinking and problem solving expertise.

He has lived in Greenwich for 30 years and knows the town well. Bill Grad has an outstanding record in both business and the community. He has also completed the first two of four classes for tax collector certification.

The office of tax collector is not a policy-making position and therefore should not be subject to partisan politics. Running our town's tax department does require an experienced skilled manager. Bill has a proven management track record and strong financial experience.

Take a moment to consider voting for the most qualified candidate. Whom would you hire if you had a firm needing a financial manager? Please think outside of the party box. Bill Grad does.

Please support Bill Grad for tax collector on Nov. 8.
