As a former First Selectman, I am keenly aware of the needs of local municipalities and how much decreased state funding has burdened the local taxpayers. Most importantly, we must be focused on the future of our State, our economy and creating good jobs for working families.
I don't believe Senator McLachlan's priorities are our priorities and I don't believe his views are consistent with those of the voters of the 24th. That is why I am seriously considering a run for this office.
I will spend the next few weeks listening to the voters of Bethel, Danbury, New Fairfield and Sherman as they voice their concerns and hope to make a more formal announcement soon.
As the darling of the Family Institute of Connecticut, teabagger whackos, and anti-immigrant groups, Mike McLachlan is by far the worst state senator at the Capitol.
As a former chief of staff of Mark Boughton, McLachlan has been instrumental in pushing a highly anti-immigrant/xenophobic policy through Danbury. As a state senator, while totally ignoring the concerns of his district, McLachlan's opted to use his term in office to lead the ultra-right wing charge on such issues as marriage equality and opposition to the death penalty.
If there is one state senator who deserves a pink slip in November, it's McLachlan and Hutchinson could possibly be the person who could give him the boot.
