JCP Candidate for Warden "Opposes" disolving Jewett City borough services

[This article was originally published on January 29, 2007.]

Jewett City Party candidate for Borough Warden in the upcoming May 7, 2007 election has made a pledge to "Stand-up for Jewett City."

Ron Ward, stated, "As Warden, I will oppose adopting any measure that will dissolve borough services." He continued by stating, "I will defend the Borough Charter against any effort that takes away our right as residents of Jewett City to have a self-regulated and autonomous government."

The Norwich Bulletin made a mistake when it published an article on Sunday, January 28, 2007 using the word "supports" instead of the word "opposes."

The Norwich Bulletin acknowledged the mistake by publishing on Monday, January 29, 2007 on page A2 the following correction:

• Ron Ward, candidate for borough warden and founder of the jewett city party, opposes consolidation of the borough of jewett city and the town of griswold. His position was reported incorrectly in a brief on page B2 in the Sunday Bulletin.
