ezs note:  I made a slight mistake on the Town Council of West Hartford, CT. The number should be six, not five.  Here is the corrected version:

Town Council (select six)

Shari Cantor (D)

Adrienne Billings-Smith (D)

Carol Blanks (D)

Lee Gold (ACP)

Roni Rodman (ACP)

Ross Jacobs (ACP)

Board of Education

Deb Polun (D)

Mark Merritt (ACP)

ezs note:  Well, it's almost votin' time again, and here are my thoughts.  One thing of note is what  happened to Lee Gold. He switched from the Republican Party to A Connecticut Party.  Really, it's about time.  I don't have any inside information, but my best guess is that he got sick and tired of the increasingly wacko Republicans.  There may be a time when Republicans were halfway sane, but that day is long gone.  

A really sad case is that of Mary Fay.  I was somewhat hopeful when she got a Town Council seat, but rather than doing the hard work on the Council,  she tried not once but twice to move up the ladder.  Needless to say, she got squished.  And rather than critiquing Donald Trump, she kissed the jackboots.  Bye, Mary.

Here are my choices:

Town Council (select five)

Shari Cantor (D)

Adrienne Billings-Smith (D)

Carol Blanks (D)

Lee Gold (ACP)

Roni Rodman (ACP)

Board of Education

Deb Polun (D)

Mark Merritt (ACP)
