Local control is a time-tested and cherished tradition of our beloved state. During the last campaign season, the retention of local control was the most commonly articulated concern of local area residents.
With the election long behind us, we now find ourselves deep in the Hartford legislative session, considering multiple bills aiming to take control away from our towns. Given our town s clearly expressed stance on this issue, I am concerned about the lack of media coverage and effort to inform residents about the bills currently under debate. Hearings are presently taking place, yet our state legislators have not made an adequate effort to inform residents that our united voices are critical to ensure that these bills do not pass.
