Sunday, April 14 2 pm to 4 pm 200 Penny Lane You are cordially invited to attend a gathering at the home of Bob and Hildegard DeMallie to meet the 30th State Senate Candidate, Justin Potter! This is a great opportunity to meet Justin and discuss the issues in Torrington, the 30th district, and the state. Plus, it will be a good time! He's off to a strong start but needs our help to keep his early momentum going. RSVP to Bob and Hildegard DeMallie [email protected] "I’m a practical Democrat, focused on solutions, not sticking with partisan or ideological positions. Addressing our housing crisis, which in and of itself is a tremendous problem, is my top priority. It is the root of the problem that is inflicting so much damage on pillars of our community such as our businesses, our schools, our healthcare facilities, and our volunteer fire and ambulance squads. Of course there are many other issues our district faces, and to all of these I will bring a balanced approach, focused on solutions." - Justin Potter Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month except July.

Torrington, CT – Last month, the Board of Education voted unanimously to call for a forensic audit of city finances. The vote is the latest development in an ongoing budget debate and shows there has been a complete breakdown in trust between the Republican-led board and the city.
Torrington, CT - The Torrington Democratic Town Committee has put forth a ticket of fifteen candidates for the city’s upcoming municipal elections in November. The slate features candidates with strong ties to the community and qualifying backgrounds who Democrats believe will offer new leadership perspectives for the city.
Torrington, CT - After weeks of contentious debate, Torrington’s complex city budget process ended with dire consequences for the city. Faced with yet another budget shortfall, Mayor Elinor Carbone cut the Board of Education’s budget request by millions of dollars.
The budget was so problematic that it required the mayor to cast a tie-breaking vote despite her party’s majority on the City Council. The rare breaking of the party line by Republicans did not stop there, as one Board of Education member resigned from the Republican Town Committee in protest. |
