The Hartford Courant’s Dave Drury tells us:
Board of Education President Milo “Rusty” Peck announced Thursday he will challenge six-term incumbent Peggy Sayers for the Democratic nomination in the 60th House District.
A member of the board of education since 2006, Peck is a former member of the town council and has been chairman of the board of tax assessment appeals. The father of six, he is a professor of financial and government accounting and taxation at Fairfield University.
“We need new ideas and expertise to help tackle this problem. Peggy Sayers has served our district well since 1999, but it’s time for a change. My experience both as a certified public accountant and tax attorney — with an expertise in government finances and taxation issues — is what is needed to help find solutions for these challenging times,” Peck said in a statement announcing his candidacy.
The 60th District includes the eastern side of Windsor and all of Windsor Locks. Sayers, a registered nurse from Windsor Locks, announced in February she would seek a seventh term.
