The Observer asked all candidates:
“What are your qualifications for this office?”
Responses were limited to 25 words.
Some candidates were also asked another relevant question and were limited to 100 words to answer.
First Selectman
Vote for One
Question: In 2020 the Town must establish a Charter Review Committee (CRC) to review the Town Charter. Assuming the CRC reviews the important issue of town manager, what is your position on bringing this issue to a town vote? (limit 100 words)
Melissa Mack (D)
Qualifications:
Four years…streamlined budgets, improved customer service, expanded shared services, negotiated favorable contracts, revitalized Babb’s Beach and Parks & Recreation, better served employees and opened KML.
Answer:
Town Manager consistency is beneficial, but at average salaries $35,000 greater than First Selectman. If dissatisfied with FS, voters act at polls. With an administrator, taxpayers pay severance. Under a similar model, Suffield taxpayers recently paid thousands in compensation to each of two interim and two outgoing Superintendents to release the town and continue operations.
Pure Town Manager governance eliminates most commissions and Town Meeting. Hybrid models exist.
I support charging CRC to research all governance options to recommend the optimal form for Suffield and not just Town Manager. To do otherwise is an incomplete analysis and wastes taxpayer dollars.
Board of Selectmen
Vote for any Four
Question: In 2020 the Town must establish a Charter Review Committee (CRC) to review the Town Charter. Assuming the CRC reviews the important issue of town manager, what is your position on bringing this issue to a town vote? (limit 100 words)
Peter Hill (D)
Qualifications:
Current member BoS
Past member ACCE and police commission
Resident of Suffield for 18 years
Answer:
The town manager issue is not as straightforward as it seems. A town manager will have a contract. In our recent past the town has spent an enormous amount of money for releasing people early from contracts (superintendent of schools). If a town manager is hired we could lose many commissions, police, fire, and park & rec, to name a few. However, we would have a professional hired who has trained and studied for the purpose of running a municipality. I would absolutely bring this to a town vote. They should be the ones to decide our next steps.
Mel Chafetz (D)
Qualifications:
I worked in the schools for over twenty years and am a two-term Selectman, giving me a good understanding of town government.
Answer:
As a Selectman, I pushed to convene a Chater Revision committee. Town government is complex, budgets are large, and laws change. All of these complex issues say we need to update our charter. We need a governing body that holds the top town administrator accountable, and assures we have the most qualified administrator, and there is stability in this position. I recognize the complexity of this task; it will take time. After this commission examines all the issues and brings forth their collective best thinking, the town should vote yes or no.
Kathie Harrington (R)
Qualifications:
I’m an attorney with 20 years of experience. I’m currently a member of ACCE, the Library Commission, and the Ordinance Review Committee.
Answer:
I would support bringing the issue to a town vote only if I am convinced that doing so would result in a more efficient government that requires lower taxes to operate. I feel our town is well run now and my research shows municipalities with town managers have much higher tax rates than those with our form of government. Also, most towns run with managers have much larger populations than ours, so I would need evidence that our town would not be used as a temporary “stepping stone” for managers, who then move on to larger towns.
Timothy J. Reynolds (R)
Qualifications:
I have served seven terms on the Board of Selectmen working with many different individuals in order to make town government work for everyone.
Answer:
My position on bringing this issue to a town vote is positive. Although we have had many capable first selectmen, I believe that a qualified town manager could be an asset to our town. I believe the most difficult issue will be finding qualified people to serve on the CRC. These individuals should not have preconceived opinions on this issue.
Jerry Mahoney (R)
Qualifications:
Analysis, negotiation, and decision making skills developed as a trial attorney, on the Board of Finance, Fire Commission Chairman, and long-time resident, SHS 1981.
Answer:
A town manager is just a way for a small vocal group to have the Town fund their pet projects, and to do it without persuading a majority of the people in town to support those preferences in an election. The First Selectman stands for election every two years. A town manager is appointed by a select few, not elected by a majority of the town citizens. Finally, a bad town manager is more difficult to fire, and much more expensive to fire, than a First Selectman.
Police Commission
Vote for any Three
Question: What do you think is the biggest challenge for the police department in the next two years? (limit 100 words)
Rick Stromoski (D)
Qualifications:
I am a current member of the Police Commission and have the trust of the Chief, Captain and Officers of SPD.
Answer:
Although there are several challenges that any Police department in the state of Connecticut faces on a regular basis (budgets, recruitment, morale etc), I feel the biggest challenge will be the reestablishment of proper protocol in dealing with police matters via the Police Commission according to state statute sec. 7-276 without interference or improper influence from the Selectman’s office.
Annie Hornish (D)
Qualifications:
Daughter of Enfield policeman (Eddie Wosko), former state representative (62nd), UConn / WNEC (MBA), statewide Community Leader award (2016), CT General Assembly Official Citation (2019)
Answer:
I will fight to ensure that police have the tools to crack down on crime, and the tools to foster relationships with the community members they protect and serve.
I will promote that Suffield become the state’s eleventh “SafeTrade Station.” SafeTrade is a program to help users of online classifieds trade safely by using dedicated space at local police stations, usually in areas with video surveillance. Selling online is increasingly popular (e.g., Craigslist, Facebook’s Marketplace, eBay, Suffield Forum), and keeps items out of landfills — being safe, green, and saving taxpayer dollars.
I ask for your vote on November 5.

Tony Greco (R)
Qualifications:
Unfortunately, few people have law enforcement backgrounds. I offer an open/inquisitive mind, and ability to sift through the noise to some solid reasonable decisions.
Answer:
Residents of Suffield are becoming tired of increased taxes both statewide and locally. The Police Department, like all Town services, is likely going to have to make some tough decisions on funding needs into the future. We’ll have to openly discuss the priorities and make reasonable decisions without affecting the quality of the force. An underlying issue the police face is a political rush to judge, without willingness to hear the facts. This goes for personnel decisions as well as official actions in the course of performing duties. We need to turn the temperature down, and hear all sides.
Joseph Blake (R)
Qualifications:
As a school administrator for 19 years, I have worked with police to create safe learning environments and strong partnerships between police, schools, and community.
Answer:
The biggest challenge facing the police department in the next two years is the effective use of 21st Century tools to communicate and promote the myriad of programs and services provided by our police department. Building and improving effective communication networks helps foster involvement, trust, and a genuine partnership between the police department and the citizens of Suffield.
Fire Commission
Vote for any Three
Question: What do you view as the role of a commissioner in helping the fire department achieve its mission of protecting lives and property? (limit 100 words)
Ed O’Hurley (D)
Qualifications:
Extensive background in the Fire Service. Served 25 years on the Hartford Fire Department, followed by 15 years as an Instructor at Connecticut Fire Academy.
Answer:
As a Commissioner, I would work to ensure our firefighters have up-to-date equipment and resources to support them in their efforts. Recognizing it is imperative we have an adequate number of firefighters to respond to calls, I would support efforts to increase our volunteer staff and review the need for additional career staff. As our Town continues to grow and firefighting becomes more demanding, adequate staffing is crucial for our firefighters’ safety and the protection of our citizens and their property.
Jay Caron (D)
Qualifications:
I have served for four years on the Fire Commission, over 19 years as a career firefighter.
Answer:
I feel it is the Commission’s role to appoint and promote Department officers, establish and reevaluate policies and procedures and assist the Chief in developing the budget annually. In the development of the annual budget, I feel it is the Commission’s role to budget for replacement of outdated equipment and evaluate the need for newer and improved technology.

Edward G. McAnaney (R)
Qualifications:
I served Suffield as First Selectman for 2 terms (2011- 2015) and prior to that, as Town Attorney for 16 years. I know town finances.
Answer:
As a former First Selectman, I am very familiar with finances, budgeting, bonding and the need to keep a watchful eye on your tax money. I hope to work with the Board of Selectmen and Board of Finance to move the Town forward in making necessary improvements to Town infrastructure and reducing your tax burden. In addition to my time in Town government, my experience in the trusts and estate practice of law and my 11 years as the Judge of Probate for Suffield-East Granby, provide additional expertise with fiscal planning and administration. I look forward to serving the Town.
Board of Finance Full Term
Vote for any Three
Chris Childs (D)
Qualifications:
I have served on the Board for eight years, using my 37 years in finance and banking for the benefit of the taxpayers.
Answer:
Over the past eight years, I encouraged the use of two tax-free bonds to repair over $18 million of neglected roads and replace fire trucks. By incorporating the debt into our capital budget, there was minimal impact on our taxes, the costs are spread over the life of the roads, and we spaced the debt so it rolls off gradually. The bond used to finance the high school matures in 2021, and this will give us the financial capacity to handle major capital expenditures with no additional tax impact.
Ann Huntington Mickelson (D)
Qualifications:
Wharton School degree in economics. Cornell veterinarian, successful Suffield small business owner/manager, four-year BoF incumbent, six-year WPCA commissioner. 36 years of community support and involvement.
Answer:
This balancing act, between respecting our residents’ wallets and keeping our citizens safe and educated, along with a nod to improving the niceties of our community, is the heart of the mission of the BoF and is what we grapple with every meeting. Among the keys to success: try to predict our needs over the next two decades and, where possible, spread infrastructure projects over time. Managing bonding, keeping unassigned fund balance at a safe but not unreasonably high level, and seeking ways to keep medical costs from skyrocketing all can helps us avoid the need for unexpected tax hikes.
Eric Harrington (R)
Qualifications:
I’m a CPA with 30 years of experience. I’ve served on the Board of Finance for 10 years and previously served two terms on ACCE.
Answer:
I serve on this Board primarily to keep taxes as low as possible. To do this, I consistently vote against expensive and unnecessary projects like the Bridge Street Community Center, support full funding for annual road maintenance in order to avoid more costly repairs in the future (and oppose borrowing for recurring road work as it results in higher taxes through interest expense and legal fees related to debt issuance), and oppose most increases in operating expenses as historically these increases have been offset by reductions in capital spending that have cost the taxpayers in the long-run.
Board of Finance
To Fill Vacancies for Two Years
Vote for One
Question: How do you propose to balance infrastruture needs with the desire to keep taxes at a reasonable level? (limit 100 words)
J. Michael Stevens (D)
Qualifications:
In my professional life, I manage multimillion dollar efforts. I always endeavor to deliver capabilities that have the greatest benefit to the greatest numbers.
Answer:
A town, like Suffield, depends on a solid foundation in order to grow and prosper. At the same time, a town the size of Suffield means that we cannot afford to do everything at once. So, my goal has been to create a long term plan that allows us to project out those items that we want (and need) to do and balance those priorities against the capital that we have. Yes, there will be some years where we need to spend more, but the goal is to have a steady budget and to work within it always.
Tracy Eccles (R)
Qualifications:
I have worked in the financial markets industry for over 35 years and have served on the Suffield Board of Finance since 2012.
Answer:
As a member of the Board of Finance, I have been instrumental in designing a town debt policy that funds infrastructure needs over time so that debt payments remain stable and do not burden tax rates. I also have been proactive in supporting annual budgets that balance infrastructure needs with operational expenses that fund our town services, including public safety and education.

Question: How do you propose to balance infrastruture needs with the desire to keep taxes at a reasonable level? (limit 100 words)
Tom Frenaye (D)
Qualifications:
Served as First Selectman 2009-11, previously on Board of Finance, Planning and Zoning, Capital Expenditures and Technology committees. Regular Board of Finance attendee since 2003.
Answer:
We must continue to make community improvements in Suffield. The roads are finally in very good condition. The renovated library is a showcase, but shouldn’t have taken so long to complete. The delays in upgrading Town Hall and converting Bridge Street School are costing taxpayer money because of inflation, interest rates, and bond costs. We have to move faster.
The town has a significant reserve fund of about $10m and it can be used to make improvements when town leaders and voters decide what is next.
Please call or email me if you have any questions. 860-668-5444 or frenaye@pcnet.com
Michael Haines (R)
Qualifications:
Suffield resident for over 10-years and earned my undergraduate degree in Finance. I have over 30 years’ work experience in finance related positions.
Answer:
Infrastructure needs of the Town are absolutely critical to maintaining our town’s safety, vibrancy and commerce. The Town does not have unlimited funds available to it, so I will carefully and thoroughly consider all requests that are presented and act prudently on behalf of all Suffield residents.

Graduated from UConn in 1975
Employed by State of Connecticut for 30 years
Member of the Suffield WPCA Commission

Kelly’s Blue Book is a useful tool in determining an assessment for motor vehicles. Assessment of real estate requires information from multiple sources.
Lisa Anderson (R)
Qualifications:
I have been a BoAA member for the last 4 years and have 15 years experience in the mortgage banking industry.
Answer:
The most important factor is that all taxpayers are treated fairly and equitably. A core component of this is the application of consistent standards and measurement criteria for the handling of all appeals.

James Mol (D)
Qualifications:
18 years in consulting, managing international projects with different cultures and languages. Vested stakeholder in Suffield Public Schools with 3 children in Spaulding.
Answer:
Having served on the Board for the last 10 months, and through participation in the hiring process for the new Superintendent, I have started building strong relationships with stakeholders in the district and town. We have brought stability back to the district and now must use our experience to build a solid strategy for the future. I have complete trust in our current team to do this. By serving as the Board’s Agriscience liaison and embracing our Superintendent’s theme of “making connections”, I will continue to work on active communication with administrators, staff, students, parents and the community.
Jamie Drzyzga (D)
Qualifications:
Involved parent of 3 Suffield students. BOE member for 17 months. Teacher for 16 years. Undergraduate degree from Northeastern University and Master in Educational Leadership.
Answer:
During my time on the board, I have worked diligently with other members to create stability through the appointment of key administrative positions. We strived to select administrators who embody a management style built on relationship building, as our community needs true transparent communicators. The Board, school administration and staff have dutifully worked during workshops to create relationships built upon transparency, communication and accountability. When elected, I will continue to maintain this beneficial working relationship to foster BOE district goals, analyze critical data to drive decision-making and have genuine conversations about what our students need to become successful young adults.
Brian Fry (D)
Qualifications:
I’m a current member of the Board of Education, was a regular meeting attendee before my appointment, and I have a Master of Science degree.
Answer:
In a word, communication. Responsible leadership of our district requires active listening, asking the right questions and collaborating with staff, as well as parents, the community and the children. For me, every decision is made by first asking, “what’s best for the kids?” I am fortunate to already have excellent working relationships with many of our school teachers and administrators. I know them through my own children’s experience in our schools, my work on the board, and from their presentations to the board. When reelected to the BoE, I will continue to make open lines of communication a top priority.
Scott R. Lingenfelter (R)
Qualifications:
Most importantly: Father and Tax-payer. Previously served: First Selectman, Board of Finance Member, Board of Education Member, VP – Suffield Coop, Secretary – Little League.
Answer:
I will communicate with our teachers, the most influential and important part of our schools, to be certain they have the tools needed to educate our children. Work with the Board of Finance to come up with solutions to budget issues. Budget season should not be run with threats, such as pay to play, in an effort to coerce concessions, rather it needs to be a team-effort which benefits the taxpayers and the students. Examine if the additional administrator positions created over the last several years are providing any educational and developmental value to our children, and explore other options.

Melissa Finnigan (R)
Qualifications:
Lead several organizations that worked directly with Suffield Schools including PTO President. Recently served as Board Secretary for Board of Finance attending town budget meetings.
Answer:
Being a part of organizations like the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) and PTAC (Parent Teacher Advisory Council) allowed me to create great working relationships with administration and teachers in each of the four schools and Central Office. I look forward to utilizing my secretary position with the Board of Finance (BOF) to help bridge the relationship between the BOF and the BOE. The groundwork has been laid and I will continue that progress. We live in a small town and I believe we can work together to do what is in the best interest for our children and for Suffield.
Water Pollution Control Authority
Vote for any Four
Question: Considering the issues at the WPC facility over the last several years, how do you plan to increase oversight of WPC operaton? (limit 100 words)
Victor Roy (D)
Qualifications:
I am an engineer having worked as a Project Manager at nuclear power plants with union personnel and previously at a sewage treatment plant.
Answer:
No increased oversight is needed for the WPCA facility waste water treatment since there have been no regulatory issues relative to WPCA facility operations. There have been personnel issues at the WPCA facility where employees have been dismissed. When filling open WPCA positions the best people for the job must be hired with HR performing pre-hire background checks. New hires must be trained in the WPCA rules and regulations with periodic retraining for all personnel. The Superintendent must monitor WPCA employees for compliance to the WPCA rules and regulations.
Chris Rago (D)
Qualifications:
I’ve lived in Suffield for 40 years, and a former member of Zoning Board of Appeals – 18 years and Library Commission – 7 years.
Answer:
The quality of the essential services provided by the WPCA are not in question. There are longstanding internal issues which demand a renewed relationship between our town government and the WPCA. We need to study how towns similar to Suffield operate their WPCA business. Our goal would be to increase professionalism and encourage a healthy working environment.
John P. Murphy (R)
Qualifications:
I have over 40 years of business experience in management.
Answer:
I would deal with each issue presented to the WPCA on a case by case basis.
Jeffrey Davis (R)
Qualifications:
Professional Engineer with 35 years of experience. Currently employed as Manager of Design for a large sewer and water company, serving the Greater Hartford area.
Answer:
Management of the wastewater collection and treatment system has historically been performed by either a Superintendent (non-union) or a Chief Operator (union position), but not both. As State and Federal regulations increase, the demand on management also increases. For the 2019/2020 fiscal year, both positions have been budgeted and will be filled. This will allow the Chief Operator to oversee the daily operation and maintenance of the sewer system, while the Superintendent manages personnel, training, safety and regulatory compliance, works with the Business Administrator, and oversees the work of the Chief Operator. This additional position will provide the oversight needed.
Frank Bauchiero (R)
Qualifications:
Have worked on public sewer systems for 28 years for several towns. I presently work for MDC a sewer and water company based in Hartford.
Answer:
Compare the Suffield WPCA to surrounding municipalities of their daily operations and compare for ways to increase efficiency. I will review payroll and overtime expenses and regular daily operation costs. I will explore areas where expenses can be reduced and or possibly eliminated, examine equipment operational cost, condition and efficiency.
J. Scott Guilmartin (R)
Qualifications:
I have over 35 years as a business owner and developer. My company currently develops renewable energy projects in the Northeast.
Answer:
Changes to management structure are necessary. I would advocate issuing an RFP for outside firms to provide professional management. This would allow for a review of cost effectiveness and benefit to Town.
Planning & Zoning Commission
Vote for any Three
Question: How do you plan to balance residential and business growth with the desire to maintain Suffield’s rural character. (limit 100 words)
Virginia Bromage (D)
Qualifications:
Have served on Planning & Zoning since January 2014 and participated in State-sponsored all-day training workshops enhancing my knowledge of land use.
Answer:
Work toward appropriate mix of residential/commercial development in Town Center Village Districts.
Assure Planning & Zoning approves the right development for Suffield’s industrial park to maximize tax revenue.
When developing 2020 Plan of Conservation Development, be sure all shareholders have input in order to develop forward-looking policy, including diverse and sustainable agricultural use to preserve farm activity.
Encourage housing to be developed as a FRD (Flexible Residential Development) to minimize house lot size and maximize open space.
Despina Tartsinis (D)
Qualifications:
Served on ZBA as an alternate since 2016. Attorney with over 20 years’ experience in private practice – focus on business law, real estate, probate.
Answer:
Small towns struggle with this balance. If elected to PZC, I intend to focus on strengthening our economy, providing better quality of life and resources, and building on local assets by: 1) Promoting preservation of agricultural uses which undeniably contribute to the local economy, environment and aesthetics; 2) Striving for suitable and measured business growth in town center, village districts, and industrial zones to generate necessary tax revenue; and 3) Listening to residents so we can connect existing conditions with future town needs, incorporating those ideas/concerns in developing future POCDs.
Donald Rawling (R)
Qualifications:
Current member of the Planning and Zoning Commission since 2016 and graduated from Columbia University with a Master of Public Administration in 2015.
Answer:
Since my appointment in 2016, I pledged to maintain our community’s residential and agricultural character while encouraging smart economic development. Over this time, we have made progress with businesses moving to Suffield. By broadening our tax base, we can reduce the property tax burden on homeowners. As the “Town of Farms,” we have also made progress with preserving our working farms. Moving forward, I will continue to focus on economic development and farmland preservation. Overall, my goal is to keep Suffield a great place to live, work and raise a family, and I ask for your vote on November 5th.
Tracy Hespelt (R)
Qualifications:
I currently hold an Alternate position with Planning & Zoning since November 2017. I work as a Document Control Administrator ensuring regulatory guidelines are met.
Answer:
I plan to continue listening to items brought before our board and work diligently to enforce existing regulations, while focusing on regulations that may require review and change to bring forward growth in an appropriate manner for our towns benefit. Commercial growth is an important area to focus since this will help increase tax revenue to support the town needs. This needs to occur at a reasonable pace while maintaining the rural characteristics of our beautiful community.
Planning & Zoning Commission Alternates
Vote for any Two
Question: How do you plan to balance residential and business growth with the desire to maintain Suffield’s rural character. (limit 100 words)
Aysha Moore (D)
Qualifications:
I have worked in architecture and real-estate for sixteen years. In addition, I have served as alternate on the P&Z commission in Suffield since 2018.
Answer:
This is one of the pivotal issues we are faced with as a commission. I believe the way to ensure this balance is to always make decisions within the context of how it fits in with Suffield’s character. If all P&Z conclusions are made within this framework, determining where residential and business growth opportunities make the most sense becomes clear, identifying prospects for open land conservation remains a priority and guaranteeing that we continue to encourage growth and change within a context that does not alter the town’s character is possible.
Jeff Wasilewski (D)
Qualifications:
I believe that my entrepreneurial experience, in building and operating my own business in Suffield, will offer an additional unique perspective to the Commission.
Answer:
I believe that it’s important for us to plan where development should and shouldn’t go in order to preserve the rural landscape while promoting business growth. Suffield needs to prioritize expanding the commercial tax base, which will allow us to alleviate some of the residential tax burden. Policies should support the commercial development along Rt 75 adjacent to the airport and beneficial businesses to our community, like walkable restaurants and retail, in the center of town. I support policies that preserve our farms and allow these spaces additional income streams, such as hosting community and private events, with clear guidelines.
Ross Wilcox (R)
Qualifications:
My qualifications for this office include my bachelor’s degree from CCSU, 6 years experience in the Marines, experience as a real estate agent and investor.
Answer:
My plans for future growth would be to try and attract real estate investors and developers to develop more commercial real estate in our downtown, under strict zoning scrutiny in order to maintain the rural character, and lease the space to more small business owners and restaurant owners in order to make Suffield a more desirable place to live, which leads to more residential growth.
Thank You
