When I think of the current state of the Danbury Democratic Town Committee, I'm reminded of an old saying that goes "learn the past, watch the present, and create the future."
Back in 2006, residents who were upset with the direction of the DTC under the leadership of then chairman Bernie Gallo held a primary Because of that primary, Gallo lost re-election to the committee, which in turn effectively ended his run as chairman.
Back in early 2006, in an interview of the local access show Community Forum, then former Common Council President Warren Levy and former State Rep Joe Walkowich expressed their concerns about the state of the DTC at the time.
Why is this important? Well, if you fast forward to 2010, you'll see that the concerns among Democrats regarding the leadership of Joe DaSilva (the person who took over the DTC after Gallo's departure) and who forced a DTC primary this year mirror the concerns expressed in 2006.
As the DTC moves forward, hopefully the committee can address these concerns and hopefully, those who expressed their concerns can work with the new leadership of the committee for the common good of the party.
