primary candidiate-Joe Paul

This may come a little late in the game but, I can’t believe that Stratford voters would even consider a man for Mayor who enjoyed the benefits of Affirmative Action, then filed suit against the company that had hired him under that program claiming “discrimination”, and in another court action “age discrimination” and then the fact that he had “ blown the whistle”, in another court action, which led to a “settlement”, which this candidate cannot discuss and no one can get an answer to what was that all about.

He has also violated Connecticut State Election Laws by contributing more to his campaign than the law allows. He claimed, “I thought that my limit was NO limit”. WHAT? And this man wants to be our 3rd Mayor in 8 years. We are still trying to digest the past 8 years. I would say that if the Town of Stratford makes another mistake like the past 2, it will be 2018 before we will be able to rectify our 3rd mistake.

Last but not least, this Mayoral candidate has been placing his “LAWN SIGNS” if front of empty houses, at major intersection, on Town property, and various other locations that are violations of Stratford Election Laws. Did someone tell him “it’s ok”. This is twice in a row that this man has violated Connecticut State Law. If this is the man that Stratford wants, God help us all.
