To Readers of this blog

I am not one of the complainants in the ethics complaint filed against Fairfield Ct First Selectman Kenneth A. Flatto, Town Attorney Richard Saxl and the Conservation Commission. I am simply a citizen of Fairfield who admires the complainants for their courage to bring the complaint in the first place and then to display the steadfastness with which they are pursuing their cause.

Its no easy task to take on the power of city hall with nowhere near the resources Town officials have at their disposal. But these people apparently love their Town enough to stand up and fight against what they see as a serious injustice.

Our president-elect has wisely pointed out that the strength of our government is built from the bottom up. These few courageous people have taken heed and are doing their best to do just that right here in little Fairfield by refusing to bend in their struggle to make our public officials accountable for their abuse of the authority we have entrusted to them. They are the true citizens of our Town and we should emulate them.

In support of their efforts I am posting their findings and the documents they have filed with the Ethics Commission. If in reading these documents you discover any ommissions or needed corrections please let me know.
