Hartford is pushing concrete, but Fairfield is pushing back A First-Person Account of CMDA’s presentation at the RTM meeting At the 7/10 RTM “special” session in Fairfield, the Connecticut Municipal Development Authority (CMDA) came to advance its pro-developer agenda. This initiative is effectively the brother of the just-defeated HB 5002 bill. It represents yet another attempt by Hartford to impose a construction-first agenda on local communities. The CMDA is using state-borrowed money to...
An Open Letter to the Leaders and Residents of Fairfield A Mandate to Fulfill Bill Gerber's Vision Tonight, the Charter Revision Commission (CRC) will hold a "special meeting." A look at their agenda reveals that they seek Board of Selectpeople approval of their "final" charter revision before hearing public comment. This comes on the heels of them already filing their report with the Town Clerk. This is all to fulfill a requirement sold as progressive public service. These are not procedural...
The measure of a leader is not found in the easy days, but in the moments of immense pressure and personal struggle. By that measure, Fairfield's First Selectman, Bill Gerber, was a steel beam. While battling a devastating illness, Bill showed a level of courage and dedication to public service that should be an inspiration to every resident of Connecticut. Consider the courage it took to lead from the front as he did. He coalesced with a citizen's...
How one town led a citizen uprising that defeated a dystopian state plan, exposed a canned "audit," and stood up to hate.

Priceless documents stress open space and conservation, which explains why the state of CT went out of its way to bury them.
Why does Connecticut keep pouring millions into Bridgeport while ignoring glaring corruption and inefficiency? The city has become a playground for entrenched political powers, where unchecked alliances between state Democrats and the construction industry prioritize endless new builds over real community needs. Schools are closed, not for repair or modernization, but to line the pockets of developers, leaving parents and students in the lurch.

Those who have the entrusted duty of defending the rights of man should think less about the rights of builders.
The CT Secretary of State included without comment in their March 2025 newsletter a statement and link from the U.S. Treasury Department that they will not enforce penalties for certain financial crimes, esp. around dark money LLCs and money laundering. .
The state of CT runs on a system developed in the 1950’s. The electoral system is bent, with Dems in power but GOP by no means innocent
The 8 counties of CT were dissolved to create the Council of Governments. This created a super-region by combining Hartford and Tolland Counties and dividing Fairfield county in two.

Cries of The Boy Who Cried Wolf this summer echoed through the halls of CT’s capitol dome, when several elected officials called an Emergency and special session to advance Eversource’s sale of Aquarion to the New Haven-office of the Regional Water Authority. Now, an examination of the facts has raised troubling environmental, financial, and privacy questions regarding the deal. It appears to be the result of a multiyear plan between the two parties. The results are far-reaching, notably with nearly one million residents in the 23 towns of Fairfield County to cede their water rights against their wishes and without consent to RWA. The utilities are now in the harsh light of public scrutiny, exacerbating the lack of trust between them and their constituencies.
We all need a home. We are removing barriers to home ownership such as mortgages, credit ratings and deposits to try to give everyone a home they can own.
The fact that so many Q’s remain open for so long raises yet another query: Why are they still open?
Joe Ganim’s campaign reported to the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) that they received approx. $500,000 from a diverse range of individuals and businesses for his 2023 mayoral run. The 300-page filing is an eyebrow-raising laundry list.
Ganim’s mayoral filings are so filled with inconsistencies and raise so many questions it makes you wonder if anyone at the SEEC read them
Bridgeport mayor Joseph Ganim bought 37 Thorne Pl. for far below market value and its listing price; oversaw a 67% personal property tax cut; sold it for 3x as much as he paid; also received for $0 a parcel at 57 Thorne Place, used city departments and personnel to execute the scheme; and still declares it his residence.
In his most-recent mayoral re-election campaign, Joe Ganim’s filings raise significant questions where the money came from, who handled it, and where it went.
