Stratford voted 6-2 against the saggy pants ordinance. In a counter move to the seniors in Alvin O’Neal’s district, they might want t consider pants that are hiked up the above the wasteline and black socks while wearing sandals.
Even in Bridgeport, the focus on Education revolves around spending tax dollars wisely. Unlike Norwalk, where some Democrats fought to preserve reckless spending by Corda, the Democratic candidates for mayor see the Education system operations as needing improvement. From the CT Post:
For too long our kids have suffered at the hands of this machine, which ignores our schools and what truly must happen to fix Bridgeport’s education system,” Caruso said.
“I will end the stranglehold of the political machine as it relates to education,” Caruso said.
Finch, by contrast, focuses on process, and tends to blame unequal state funding for the city’s educational troubles.
“We must provide greater support to our school systems, and work at the state level to focus the school funding formulas on the urban systems with the greatest need,” Finch said.
“But we must also put sound financial management plans in place and conduct regular audits of our school functions to weed out waste and make sure every tax dollar is well spent,” Finch said.
Gwen Briggs, Kevin Poruban, Matt Miklave, Doug Sutton and Bill Krummel all fought to preserve waste in Norwalk’s school system and supported the rubber stamping BOE. The BOE is voting on Corda’s, Lang’s and Opdahl’s contracts tonight as well as setting policy for the State Rep Bruce Morris who managed to spend days in hartford instead of doing his job here in Norwalk. Then again, since he lacks the educational credentials to do his job, why is he still employed? He lacks a college degree. This is a simple one, the Norwalk Public Schools should not tolerate employees that lack credentials, and who game the system with unaccountable hours of work.
The thread is yours for anything else that is going on.
