We also spent a fair amount of time on the issue of debates between Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito and rival candidate Roberto Alves. The two sides are at odds over how many debates are appropriate and what constitutes a debate. We'll have to go back a bit to explain how this began.
I don't remember being scared but I guess I should have been because I had no jacket, gloves or parental supervision. I was just out begging for candy from strangers and vandalizing quiet neighborhoods with very little resistance.
I'm a little biased because I live in the Hat City but it really is a top-notch foodie destination. The city is one of the most diverse in the entire country and our cuisine reflects that. We have food from Italy Ireland, China, Japan, Vietnam, Mexico, the Dominican Republic and beyond. Not only are the options limitless but the quality of our food is ridiculous. When I have to describe the food scene to outsiders I simply say, we're really spoiled.
On Tuesday September 19th, Roberto's camp sent out a press release claiming Dean Esposito is hiding from the debate stage. Here is a portion of the pres statement:
Just two days later, the city announced the Esposito was about to be released from the hospital and return to work. We haven't talked to the Mayor since the hospital trip and wanted to know how he was feeling. We asked him all about it when he joined us for his regular weekly interview on Thursday (9/14/23).
