THANK YOU for the entire town for putting me on the ballot for Fairfield First Selectman as an independent reform candidate.
Introduction
Fairfield has long enjoyed a reputation as "the town that has it all”. There was internal
agreement that we were one of the best towns in Connecticut – topped only by being on the cover of Money magazine as one of the top towns in America.
That wasn’t that long ago, but they don’t say that anymore. Now, everyone hears the same reviews: too crowded... traffic... developers killed it.
Fairfield is hanging like the ship on the cover of the Kansas album Point of No Return. But the damage isn’t permanent. There’s a lot of traffic, and a few big buildings have gone up, but the open space for the most part is intact. There’s too much that’s inaccessible and it’s all underappreciated, but nothing irreparable. What’s also distressing is that the wounds are either self inflicted or that we allowed them to happen. This is the opportunity to recover our roots, recognize ourselves for who we are, and create the town we want to live in and leave behind.
The Issues Driving the Need for Change:
* Policy Control: Vested interests have manipulated our Town Charter and are attempting to seize control of Fairfield’s water rights.
* Affordability & Zoning: The push for "housing" masks the real need for affordable homes for our children and the need to change to extended family zoning.
* Energy & Environment: We face a profound lack of concern over environmental crises while CT has among the highest electrical rates in the country.
The Way Forward is to Take Control.
To compel the town to act, we are expanding our comprehensive citizen poll. By joining our list now, you will be the first to receive the policy questions and cast your vote on the future of our Town Charter and local control. Get first access to insights at https://thevoicefairfield.substack.com/)
