I have several grave reservations about some members of  Fairfield County Council proposing to further limit free speech at council meetings. Attempts at limiting legal free speech are always a dangerous and slippery slope. Where do you draw the line? Do you prohibit any mention of weather since it is beyond Council’s control? Are mom, […]

I serve on the American Red Cross Advisory Council in Fairfield County. As chairman of the Heroes Campaign, I am sending this letter to let you know how valuable the American Red Cross is to our county and to ask for your help. • For the 2013-2014 year, 51 people were affected by a crisis/need […]

Mr. Trapp’s opponents in the upcoming election need not enter the negative campaigning arena. Why, you ask, since pointing out an opponent’s shortcomings is usually part of any political campaign? Truth is: Mr. Trapp has placed his own shortcomings in front of the public time and time again. The most recent statement is that someone […]

We are a government of the people, with representatives elected by the people, who are elected to serve the people. As representatives of the people we are required to be respectful to those who elected us to serve. We must be honest, humble and most of all not arrogant and self-serving. We are elected to […]

Tis the season when all should be at peace and harmony! Yet, it appears this season has yet to come in Fairfield County.

The hand-picked Facilities Board by Fairfield County administration and County Council is supposedly responsible for Fairfield County, over time, paying back a loan that will represent close to $50 million being paid to justify not letting other counties in the state benefit from projected money to be received from reactors 2 and 3 at the […]

How long will the good and decent people of Fairfield County allow the ugly faces of racism, greed and power cripple our county? How long will we allow hatred, vicious lies, delusional opinions and intentional deceit destroy the very hearts and souls of a people whose roots run deep with kinships, communities, churches and schools […]

The recent (Jan. 22) Voice editorial “Who Knew?” underscored one of many concerns about the Fairfield County Recreation plan. The Ridgeway Town Council is spot-on in its opposition to the ill-conceived proposed location of the Ridgeway facility. Other previously expressed citizen concerns with the general County Recreation Plan include having a plan which starts out over […]

As an American, I apologize to the marchers in France and to the rest of the world for America’s lack of participation in the Unity March to support free speech and to show the global terrorists that their way of life is not acceptable to the rest of the world. Our President should have been […]
