*Haddam Neck Firehouse, 50 Rock Landing Road, Haddam Neck

I’m voting for Bobby Siegrist, the person with the experience. I’ve seen so much nasty from the OTHER camp with their insults and mean comments. That in its self I will not vote for them. The current clerk is already certified and does a great job. Personable and nothing but kind and helpful in the office. Saw a long line at the window on tax time and he was all alone working thru it. Went zippity fast and efficiently. Wasn’t a long wait despite long line.
