Strong and Definitive Response


Twice. Twice the people of Clinton have emphatically told the town politicians hired to represent us and our interests that we do not want a big box CVS at that location! Evidently, Selectman John Giannoti and other board members along with CVS Corporation are not listening to the people who live here, the people who pay their salaries, and people who have supported CVS with the patronage.

We must use a language they both understand. The greed and cronyism of the Board of Selectmen that has betrayed the faith and trust of the people will be dealt with when it comes time for re-election. One thing CVS understands is money. Sales and customers are its blood and life line. CVS has chosen to not be a good neighbor to the people of Clinton and should be treated as such. With so many other options available in the immediate area like the Madison CVS, Clinton Walgreens, Stop & Shop Pharmacy, Shop Rite Pharmacy, Big Y Pharmacy, and Westbrook Walgreens, the people of Clinton can give a clear, strong, and definitive response in taking their business elsewhere. That is a language the CVS Corporation will understand.
