Let Me Take You To Our Leaders
Fairfield (CT): The Open Table forum offered a rare look at what local leadership looks like in Fairfield County. While State Senator Tony Hwang and I are both running for First Selectman in the February 3, 2026, Special Election, this event wasn’t about the campaign trail—it was a critical “what do we do now” strategy session.

Hartford is pushing concrete, but Fairfield is pushing back.
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 rewrite local zoning codes on a town-by-town basis to allow for more density and bigger buildings.

The Fixing of CT: Bridgeport’s Baker’s Dozen
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. Meanwhile, outdated state agencies operate in secrecy, burying public information and stifling progress. It’s a system stuck in the past, feeding greed while Connecticut residents pay the price. Want to know how we can fix this? Read on for proposed solutions that demand transparency, accountability, and a future-proof plan for sustainable change.

Water, water, everywhere, but not a drop to carpetbaggers
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.

State records reveal a curious mix of contributors and expenses to Ganim’s mayoral campaign
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.
Isn’t Enforcement the SEEC’s middle name?
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
Ganim’s residence at the center of suspect real estate and tax transactions
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.
Highly suspect Ganim mayoral campaign filings go unchecked by CT authorities, amplifying oversight and governance issues.
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.
