Andrea Corcoran Chairperson, Andrea Corcoran (U) Stratford Board of Education As the November 7th election draws near, the political rhetoric has grown louder and louder, as it does around this time each year.

The Rules are for You and Not GOP Lou By Dave Mullane Since this Bridgeport AB (Absentee Ballot) scandal drawing lots of attention, I shake my head with comments by Stratford “leaders” Ben Proto the State GOP Chairman and State Senator Kevin Kelly, who is the Republican Minority leader in the State. These 2 are […]
Shakespeare Park is finally moving forward By Dr. David Chess I want to commend Mayor Hoydick on moving a plan forward to make Shakespeare Park a place for music, entertainment and, eventually, theatre. Being a resident here for 37 years, I have witnessed many starts and stops. Watching factions argue and the resulting stalemate left […]
