Debate Of One? April 2 Pre-Caucus Event Looks More Like Candidate Q&A Session

William Hutchison

Snapshot: Lisa Janco

Very strange for an outside group to not coordinate a debate with each of the candidates or the town committee before announcing... especially when the other candidate was already promoting it. Sus. The DTC distanced themselves from this event in a statement. This group didn’t even have the community center reserved when they had announced it would be there. Probably worth mentioning in the story

Debate Of One? Change Of Plans Confirmed For April 2 Pre-Caucus Event

I appreciate this reminder to all that there is a process we should all engage in if we are going to turn this country around. The image of the current state representative enjoying the “Ice In” plastic leather jacket of a colleague, is sickening. I don’t believe this country has flipped so many seats in such a short amount of time, in its history. It speaks volumes and we have to get these forums going and pick the state representative democratic candidate and get back to focusing on community needs and advancing the common good, with transparency and a common goal.

Elections Have Consequences XXIII

I am a bit disappointed about how long it has taken to hear from candidates. The race for the state representative seat is an important race. The entire country is “flipping” seats because this country is undergoing difficult, to say the least, times. It’s almost as if there is a resistance to organizing a forum so the public hears from the democratic state representative candidates That is wholly undemocratic. It says a great deal about those resisting these sessions. If the choice was to let the public choose a democratic candidate, then have them address the public as early on, and as often, as possible. That is true transparency. I have learned the hard way that there is a great deal of behind the scenes manipulation and rumors nourishment. It’s a losing strategy. My favorite gift is a T-shirt that says that I am not a woman who will ever be remembered as not speaking up. It’s my motto.

Debate Of One? Change Of Plans Confirmed For April 2 Pre-Caucus Event

I moved to Newtown for the quality of life and that is about the people. We have only lived here almost six years and many good neighbors have left. Many express the concerns about the increasing taxes, utilities and administration heavy organizations. I don’t want to lose any more neighbors to these concerns. I look forward to posing these types of issues to candidates because these are urgent matters to be addressed.

Budget Observations To The Council

Looking forward to this tonight, with some difficult questions. Thank you for starting these sessions off.
