The following is a statement from First Selectman Cathy Iino:

"At the polls on Tuesday, I was struck by how many people spoke passionately to me about our taking for granted a right that people in other times and places have died for. Perhaps the reason was that Election Day fell so close to Veteran's Day this year. Today we recognize our own veterans who have fought and suffered to protect our right to govern ourselves, and often, to extend that right to others around the globe. We owe our veterans our profound thanks, and we honor them with our responsible exercise of the rights they have bravely defended."
