While there’s still more number crunching to do, both on the part of the Registrars — A and E should be getting the mandated recounts, and on all the political junkies who follow the spreadsheets of politics — there’s the small matter of what is going to happen next.
There’s some truisms about this election, and the Mayor said it best last night, “Norwalk is a Democratic town.” He said this in 2005, and he said it again last night. With the council majority in the hands of Democrats then and now, you might think it was a partisan statement, but what I think it really acknowledges is that Norwalk is saying that it wants its government to work for the people. That means fixing the things that are problems yet keeping an eye on spending. Even here, on the blog, I don’t think we’d find any disagreement there.
