Oct. 20-21 -- It was perfect weather to meet the voters, and Democratic candidates did just that - visiting the Recycling Center, Main St., Steve's Bagels, Dunkin' Donuts, and other spots over the weekend. The candidates remarked on the "good vibe" they're getting, with First Selectman Rudy Marconi noting, "People are telling us they like the direction we've taken the town in the last two years. They are very receptive to the idea that we need this team elected to continue getting things done for Ridgefield." Voters are very interested in the issues, with taxes, schools, and open space topping the list of things on Ridgefielders' minds.
