Happy Labor Day?

#Bridgeport CT-- For the last two years, the Bridgeport Fire Department has been serving the community without a contract and Bridgeport Police for over a year. As a citizen, do you find this satisfactory? I ran into council members Ernie Newton and Jorge Cruz, Sr. to get some insight into the delays. I couldn't get any details on the specifics like what is an unrealistic contract but I'm certain the two-year delay is working in their favor as this year's high inflation will enter the negotiations. Fairfield Firefighters have also been without a contract for over a year. Let's honor our first responders and get them a contract! https://youtu.be/If9QILneCuE

Stefanowski’s Share Tax Information

"By releasing three years of joint tax returns today, the Stefanowski's are providing a refreshing level of transparency to the people of Connecticut, one which Governor Lamont and his wife have repeatedly failed to match,” said campaign spokeswoman Sarah Clark. "Sadly, Governor and Mrs. Lamont continue to hide details of their personal finances from the public, including the profits they reaped from $25 million dollars in no-bid taxpayer-funded contracts doled out to companies owned by the Lamont family. The people of Connecticut deserve better.”…

Bridgeport News: Schools At Half Day

Good Afternoon Bridgeport Public Schools Community, I understand the decision to operate a half day schedule for the remainder of the week has caused challenges for some families. Many of our schools recorded classroom temperatures over 90 degrees yesterday with the forecast calling for even higher temperatures over the next few days. The district team made the decision to mitigate placing students and staff in a potentially dangerous environment. The weather we are currently experiencing is not typical for this time of the year which made planning impossible. I ask for your patience and cooperation as we do the very best to provide a healthy and safe teaching and learning environment for everyone. Sincerely, Michael J.
