Councilman Greg Cann Released a Statement Pushing Back on Mayor Hoydick’s Proposed Budget
“The Mayor’s press release celebrates that Stratford “stands out” as a community that holds the line on taxes. How is this accomplished? As the Mayor suggested, look at our neighboring towns. None of them are using the taxpayer’s credit card to pay for the town’s annual operating appropriations. Stratford has increased its debt and…
“In your statement that you claim that there are no raising of taxes this year, indeed taxes were raised last year, affecting this year town-wide at 4%, during a pandemic with no empathy towards the hardship, that it contributes to.

Councilwoman Kaitlyn Shake Said Hoydick’s Proposed Budget Lacks Transparency
“The Mayor has included 4.7 million of “revenue” but there are ZERO expenses in this budget-related or identified as‘COVID relief’. In fact, it’s nearly identical to the 2020-2021 town budget.

Word From the Chair – November 2020
The last ballots were counted earlier this month, and regardless of any landscaping press conferences or other distraction by the outgoing president, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Stratford voters recognized the team that represents the working class families of Stratford and voted for every Democrat on the ticket. None of this could…
DTC Chair’s letter to Registrar of Voters on AB snafu!
Good afternoon Registrars, It has come to my attention that several absentee ballots were rejected due to errors this morning. While not surprising in and of itself, I was discouraged to hear there is at present no plan in place to contact voters if their absentee ballots were rejected. I have been in contact with the…
