| Please stand up to protect your rights and those of others. The government oath of office seeks people to protect and uphold the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. Conversely difference of opinion and priorities are the lifeblood of a "more perfect union." |
| Here are some topics and positions I hope these interest you, which my PLATFORM will be based! 1 - Town Charter: Grandfathered Rights are crucial to be protected, because they contain a process of * Initiative > Petition > Referendum > Enacting Legislation Believe it or not, I believe people are willing to steal rights for financial, political, or personal gain! These Grandfathered Rights are the Public's (your) Constitutional Rights: >1st > Redress of Grievances > 9th > Unenumerated Rights > 13th > Voting Rights > 14th > Equal protection of Law 2 - Transparency: Live, Uneditted Web casts of all Town Council, Board of Ed, Zoning, Planning, Building Needs, Pension, Water Pollution Authority, and more Meetings of Town Treasury. > These allow Tax Payers, Town Council, Town Management convenience to oversee or not what they choose. > Yes, things can be staged by politicians. Yet it is difficult for the staged actions, not be be deconstructed. Example: Being against what a Mayor, Town Attorney, Town council, Education, or Zoning wants politically for plausible deniability or by using legal trickery to circumvent Public Rights or/and Oversight. > No one is going to come out and tell the Public they are steering money from the Public, to themselves or to political allies, who in turn donate or do business with the Political Enactors! > I believe Departmental Expenses and information about pensions and other financial items like Bids, Awards, Change Orders, and more could serve the Public Interest by being available in real time. 3 - I favor the Public Right to Budget Referendums. Ideally representative government has honest and conscientious people working for the Public Interest Realistically, sometimes foxes too often guard hen houses. Although imperfect, a Budget Referendum is a check and balance that when we look around .... > Town < > Education <> Bonding for CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT + PENSIONS + others <> Right to direct the Town / Town Council / Zoning / Education or other to DO or NOT DO SPECIFICS, by PUBLIC VOTE! 4 - Budget cost: * Pensions are out of control nationwide. This Website needs to be linked and expanded, > I have a recent pensioners list, and the Base Pays 47 of the top 58 Pensioners. > About 90 % were hired 1975 -1985 when certain people related to certain presently powerful position were in position to hire. Quid pro quo? > Are there FINDER FEES, being paid to people? * Health Insurance cost about $ 16,000 annually: Town & Eduation = about $ 45 a DAY. Workers=13 % premium > Cinergy is a Health Insurance, unavailable in CT. > $ 6 a DAY for INDIVIDUAL = $ 10 a DAY FAMILY > Are there FINDER FEES /DONATIONS being paid to people at the Capitals of D. C. and Hartford, and to locals? * Is the Purchasing Dept maximizing savings - Is there political steering? * Would transparency improve costs? > Could pooled BASIC Health Insurance cost with something like Cinergy, if made legal = available to all residents? 5 - Revenues: Federal, State and Private GRANTS are the fastest way to offset cost. Economic Development: (instead of intentional? delays: Shakespeare / Avco / Airport / redevelope) LICENSING: especially names of Schools, Buildings, Shakespeare & other assets, can increase revenue. 6 - DIRECT ASSISTANCE to get FINANCIAL AID to RESIDENTS and BUSINESSES: Stratford should make it easier to get FINANCIAL HELP AND RELIEF for Businesses and Residence to access economic relief & revenue GRANTS, LOW INTEREST LOANS, and TAX SAVINGS * Weather proofing * Energy savings * Utility Pooling * Heat Pooling * Health Insurance Pooling * U.S. / CT. Grants * S. B. A./ USA / CT. /PRIVATE Low Interest Loans * Tax Relief: Local+CT.+USA - Senior Tax Relief - Veteran Tax Relief - Lower Taxes & Rates through combined efforts- Public Works: 7 - Education, Library, and Technology: Can generate revenue, savings, and improvement with innovation 8 - Health and Safety: While Police, Fire, & EMS build nothing, yet they are core of first responders for Life & Death issues. I far prefer NOT to have Volunteer Police/Fire (like Shelton or Easton), but well paid pros with good benefits. I believe the honest and patriotic majority of workers simply want a fair deal, like all Americans. Many Town POLICE and FIRE personnel chafe at abusers of pensions and other political issues. It makes THEM look BAD and the head lines are a tip of the ICE BERG! > Baldwin Center sadly provides a badly needed service to very poor senior citizens. > Health Department under appreciated and utilized - core issues. > RAYMARK and AVCO are festering issues. EPA proposed RAYMARK DUMPSITE consolidation is illogical! 9 - TRANSPORTATION: AIRPORT: I am against expansion and against closing airport, unless possibly owned by Stratford and possible (my future announced plan for REDEVELOPMENT) Tax Base benefit Train Station: weather protection & parking needed. Railroad underpass & near I-95 ramps = FLOOD I - 95: Against # 33 ramp expansion = detour Speeding / Walmart Crime / Air-Noise-Water Pollution are local issues I - 15: enhancements are needed 10 - Recreation: Sports Fields, Beaches, Nature assets need nurturing and innovation. Balance use with over use ruining naturalism? - There are Roosevelt Forrest / Long Brook Park and other issues 11 - Public Works: Garbage - Leaf - Snow pick up / Tree - Brush - Grass cut - Dump usage / Pot holes - side walks Snow plow / Improving Buildings and Vehicles - New & repair. NUTS and BOLTS underappreciated services 12 - Rename TOWN HALL for the late, great ED (BEEFY) HARGUS. > Ed was the Town Patron Saint for Senior citizens and moving force for creatin of the Baldwin Center, which is a major source of food and help for senior citizens.> Ed was outspoke watchdog of the Town and Education Actions. My best compliment was for him to call me his political son! Some political people add a couple of words to son ... 13 - PENSION OFF BUDGET - STAND ALONE - LIMITED Town / Tax Payer Liability = Contributions reconciled 14 - TOWN CHARTER needs reopening to protect Grandfathered Rights, make Town Attorney Full Time, and create ANNUAL Budget REFERENDUMS: TOWN + EDUCATION + CAPITAL IMPROVE BONDING + ALL BONDING 15 - More: To be continued - Please go to the Contact page and let me know about your issues? |
| POTENTIAL MAJOR PATRONAGE & GRAFT: * AVCO development will be MULTI BILLION DOLLARS! * AVCO = 78 Acres. Add 250 Acres of AIRPORT = even MORE DOLLARS * Add assignable Shakespeare Theater contract = even MORE DOLLARS * Add BIG CONTRACTS: Raymark Dump sites + FAA add Airport crash area, bought by Stratford + DOT intent to ADD I - 95 # 33 ON + OFF to BRIDGE Why have there been 18 years of delays? Money? Steering contracts? Lining up personnel from State? |
| Were TOWN CHARTER changes needed to be in place to keep PUBLIC from Redresses about the above + below? |
| Included in this website to show ideas and concepts of leaders, to project to today President Eisenhower's 1961 speach, warned of internal usurpation by money / power controlers-influence of ALL Democratis and Republican Parties? When you read that speach, do you project his prescience for what subsequently and recently happened? I included George Marshall and MLK Jr speach, with article by Ralph Nader and Charley Reese go to the patterns of ongoing methods, of how people well above Stratford, have recognized analogus willful political problems, causation, and developments. I believe within those wise men they opined options towards solutions which we could use today. So, I included those ideas within this website, to give you opportunity to project if my unique ideas may be realistic and viable? On the bottom of this page, on the platform page and among other pages are EVOLVING issues and proposals about Stratford. |

| HEADLINES DEBUNK of WEEK: Are some Town Council - Mayoral - Town Attorney - Police - Fire - Contract - Pensions - Ethics controversies phony? <> Who created Town Charters and placed personnel in various Commissions? Ethic Commission vacant for years. Then changed qualifications rules to be on Ethics Commission? Then TWICE changed Ethics Rules. Have there been Ethics Conflicted people on Town Council, Town & Commissions like Ethics? <> Notice the Town Council made NO EFFORT to open a Town Charter for changes related to Town Attorney or Mayor power limits? <> If the MAYOR won't sign BAD Shakespeare CONTRACT his Town Attorney negotiated, why did negotiations end? Why is CONTRACT so BAD and ASSIGNABLE? Who can Benefit by plausible deniability and assignable contract(s) <> Why 18 years + of DELAYS when money can be made/taxes saved? <> Who OKs all the OUT RAGEOUS PENSIONS and does NOT POST them on Websites, as I have done on this Website? <> Who creates and oversees Town Attorney, Police, Mayoral, and other Departmental Budgets, yet NOT POST on Website NOR LIVE Webcast Meetings? <> Does the CT. POST have Financial and/or other self interest in the FAA + BRIDGEPORT Airport issue among OTHER ISSUES? (Won't be endorsing me!!) |
