News and updates from the campaign trail in Connecticut.

Senate

Chris Murphy (D): In response to Susan Bysiewicz defending her television ad accusing Murphy of accepting more contributions from Wall Street than any other Demcoratic candidate, Murphy criticized his Democratic rival's campaign ethics, . 

"I've never seen a candidate intentionally and willfully lie over and over again after she's been called to the carpet for it...The increasingly clear difference between Susan Bysiewicz and I is that she's wiling to say and do anything in order to get elected and ultimately I think voters are seeing that clearer than they're seeing any attack she's lobbing at me," he said. 

Linda McMahon (R): McMahon has received the most personal attacks going into the primary, according to Fox News. They say that the jabs at her wealth and political skills have been even worse than during the 2010 campaign.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.
