Fairfield Letter: Support Ray Neuberger In State Rep Race FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- The Daily Voice accepts signed, original letters to the editor. Please send your letter to fairfield@dailyvoice.com. To the Editor: Connecticut has been heading in the wrong direction for many years. We rank at or near the bottom in so many categories, one of the most harmful of these rankings is our debt per citizen, we have the highest in the nation. Businesses, young people and retirees are fleeing Connecticut at a record rate. Yet, our elected officials on the Democratic side of the aisle in Hartford are not getting the clear message. The message being sent by emp…

To the Editor: I am writing to encourage those who live in the 133rd district to vote for Ray Neuberger as their state representative. I have gotten to know Ray well the past few years, and I have seen his passion and enthusiasm first hand. He is a hard worker and very driven person. Like so many of us, Ray believes Gov.

Fairfield Letter: McCarthy Vahey 'Unfailingly Civil' FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Daily Voice accepts signed, original letters to the editor. Please send your letter to fairfield@dailyvoice.com. To the editor: Cristin McCarthy Vahey has earned re-election as state representative through her courage, passion, and independence at a time of distressingly partisan politics at the local and national level. I met Cristin when we served together on Fairfield's Representative Town Meeting, first as the majority party, then with only 12 out of 50 seats. No matter the political balance, she worked across the aisle,supporting positions that strengthened our sc…

Fairfield Letter: Hwang Crosses Political Aisle FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- The Daily Voice accepts signed, original letters to the editor. Please send your letter to fairfield@dailyvoice.com. To whom it may concern, I have lived in Fairfield over 29 years and just recently moved to the Black Rock area in Bridgeport. I write this letter in support of “my” State Senator Tony Hwang. I have known Tony over 20 years prior to his political career. He has always been a caring and enthusiastic friend. He carried these qualities into politics. In this time of total cynicism and lack of trust in politicians I truly believe Tony stands tall being social…

At Monday’s ceremony, state legislators, local dignitaries and fire officials joined First Selectman Michael Tetreau in autographing the beam, some adding messages of goodwill and commemorating former members of the Fire Department. “I’m very thrilled that we’re doi…
