Newtown Health Fair Educates And Supports Community

‘The History Of Stone Walls In Connecticut,’ Next Garden Club Program

Football Team Scores On First Play, Never Looks Back

Seems like for all his education, Jim must slept through civics class when they were covering Federalism. Mitch holds state office, Michelle Ku serves in our municipal government, and the President, who is not on the ballot this cycle, heads the Executive Branch in Washington DC. Also, Mitch was cross endorsed by the Independent Party in recognition of his bipartisan legislative success. Jim Gaston endorsed Ku’s opponent in the primary because “Newtown’s Democratic leaders trust Brandon Moore” (clever double entendre with his last name.) Just the facts.

Time To Bring Back ‘Dragnet’

Jeff, look no further than our own first selectman. “Brews with Bruce” at the Senior Center is included with membership, but according to the Bee’s own reporting, everyone else must purchase a day pass to attend. Apparently, paying taxes gets you a town government, but having a conversation with its leader requires an admission upgrade. Unless, of course, the intent is to hear only from a preferred audience. A room full of agreeable voices may be comfortable, but a first selectman represents the entire town—including residents who might ask inconvenient questions. Public access should not come with a cover charge.

Fairfield Rotary Hosting State Senator Candidate Forum

Have you or have you not been out campaigning for Rep Bolinsky's opponents? That is an important fact to disclose, recognizing obvious biases.

Thank You Candidates!

Guess how many times "Democracy" is mentioned in the US Constitution?

Vote Out Of Love, Not Hate

Who charges to hear politicians speak? That will be an empty venue.
