Letter to the Editor: Support McCann for Probate Judge

Writer says McCann is at the height of the legal profession.

To the Editor:

Kevin McCann is the best choice to be Judge of Probate for the Windsor-East Windsor-South Windsor court for two important reasons: 

1) Kevin McCann is the most highly-qualified candidate, having devoted his entire 22-year legal career to the field of trusts, estates and probate. Kevin has taught part of the course that new probate judges are required to take! He was recognized by Hartford Magazine as a Top Attorney in Trusts & Estates for the Greater Hartford area and was rated by his peers in the legal profession as “pre‑eminent in the field of trusts and estates, with the highest level of ethics.” No other candidate has such a high level of expertise.

2) Kevin McCann is truly concerned and compassionate. He very much wants to help people through the often-difficult events that bring them to probate court.  I’ve known Kevin for more than a dozen years and have found him to be unfailingly helpful, gracious, and competent.

The upcoming election for Judge of Probate is Tuesday August 21. Voter turnout will be very low, so your vote is especially important. Please join me in choosing Kevin McCann to be Judge of Probate.

Sincerely,

Marti Aman
878 Strong Road
South Windsor, CT

Kevin McCann:  Don't we deserve better?
Hank Cullinane May 23, 2013 at 04:09 pm
entrenched politician, Nixonian strategy, Petulant bait and switch, profligate spending, OrwellianRead More "new approach", but don't worry Kevin it is just a perceived persecutor.

Mike, thanks for using your real name, and for trying to have a repsectful discourse. I wish moreRead More would do so. I disagree with you, but we can agree to disagree. I do not berate people's ideas, and I have never threatened anyone. My only criticism has been of the tactic of taking pot shots from the dark. I believe that "Steve Phillips" is an elected official, which makes his rants that much more objectionable by using a pseudonym. I don't mind criticism. What I do mind is shadowy mud slinging that makes it so difficult for either party to recruit good people to run for office. There are a lot of good people who see the gratuitous insults and maligning, and say that they do not want to subject themselves to that nonsense. Using real names raises the level of discourse and allows for a real exchange of ideas.

More red-herring here! First Mr. McCann and now Mr. Riley... Really, gentlemen? You do yourselvesRead More a disservice. How can you expect to be taken seriously as town leaders if you would continue to persist in berating folks on public blogs about their user names?!? It is undignified. Quite plainly you are bullying here – I question your judgment.
"Visionaries" of South Windsor lead by McCann and Daugherty hard at work...

Mr. McCann arrogantly conducts himself on the Town Council and here as if he is above criticism,Read More forgetting (or simply not caring) about the privilege and responsibility serving elected office holds. A privilege and responsibility granted by the very same constituents McCann insults with comments above. Lacking empathy and humility are never traits respected leaders aspire, and sadly what McCann has disrespectfully expressed here.

Totally agree with you Mr. Sullivan. There are some who cannot use their real name or only a firstRead More name at fear of being attacked. Being a politician Mr. McCann has no problem speaking out. If you disagree with him you get ripped apart. I have witnessed it first hand by watching the council meetings on TV.

Some folks choose not to use their real or full names on public bulletin boards and blogs…Read More Welcome to the 21st century Mr. McCann! Indeed the terms of use for Patch say quite clearly: "We encourage, but do not require, that the user name you provide be your real name." Mr. McCann you have chosen to be a public figure and politician. Others who may only wish to participate anonymously on blogs and postings such as these are not required to participate at whatever _you_ may deem to be an acceptable level.
