During the last county council meeting, as many of you know, I was escorted out of the meeting.  The reason for that was my excessively strong reaction to a council member continually talking and laughing while I was addressing council during public comment time. As frequently happens now to me and other speakers, when we […]

The Fairfield Farmers and Artisans market would like to thank the public for the outpouring of support for the market. All the Saturday morning visits, the participation in fundraisers, the donations, and the encouragement makes our efforts worth it. As many know, the market was told they would have to pay the county’s $50/hour rate […]

Notice the word used was ‘qualified,’ someone interested in and capable of turning things around for progress. The wastewater / water / natural gas utilities should be […]

A citizen-centric county council looks for ways to expand opportunities to communicate with and listen to the people. At last Monday’s meeting, Fairfield’s County Council seemingly lacked the characteristics of council working for its citizens. The last council meeting was a very important meeting, including the vote on the wastewater treatment plant location, yet this […]
