It is inexplicable how a town like Milford (run by a Democratic Mayor) can lower taxes four years in a row and Fairfield cannot. I will work to maintain the excellence of schools, police and fire departments. I will also seek to continue to address the lack of affordable housing in our town, address the impact of 8-30g applications and our town’s master development plan. How was the First Selectman so asleep at the wheel to permit Julian construction to operate without any proper oversight costing the town close to $2 million (and counting).  We need to have better oversight of outside contractors. I grew up in the Stratfield section of town. I am married to a Fairfield public school teacher, and we have four children, three of whom attend Fairfield public schools.
