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.

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.
