In 2005 Alex Knopp lost the mayor’s race by less than 190 votes. It wasn’t even that close. Knopp lost the support of many Democrats in Norwalk because he is a poor leader who failed to delegate. This is not a character trait that is easily unlearned, nor is it easily forgotten. Aside from that, under Mayor Moccia, Norwalk has been slowly reigning in its spiraling budget and the fiscal management of the city has never been better.
