Jerry Farrell Jr., the Republican candidate for secretary of the state, didn’t face a primary Tuesday, but he spent the night visiting with fellow Republicans at victory parties keeping an eye on the vote to determine his Democratic opponent.

Denise Merrill, a state representative from Mansfield and the House majority leader, defeated former New Haven Alderman Gerry Garcia in Tuesday’s Democratic primary and will face Farrell in the general election.

“Tonight I’m just delighted,” Merrill said, adding that she’s looking forward to a positive campaign against her Republican opponent that “talks about the issues.” Farrell, a Wallingford town councilor and the state’s consumer protection commissioner, said he respected the campaign run by Garcia, who he said tried to engage disenfranchised voters.

Farrell called Merrill a “Hartford insider,” and said her victory gave voters a distinct choice in the general election.

Farrell spent much of the evening at U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon’s victory celebration in Cromwell accompanied by campaign staff and his wife, Natalie Campisi, and parents Gerald Farrell Sr. and Mary Ann Farrell, all of Wallingford.

While the governor and U.S. Senate races receive plenty of attention, Farrell said running for secretary of the state was a challenge since some are unaware of the office’s role. Attending the Republican victory parties is important in raising support, Farrell said.

“It’s a good place to be,” he said. “You’ve got to network with these people.”

While Farrell didn’t face a primary, he said fellow Republicans have been impressed that he’s been campaigning while Garcia and Merrill fought it out. That’s a message he hoped to get out while talking to Republicans Tuesday night.

“They know I’m out there working,” he said. “I haven’t rested on my laurels.”

Farrell said he hopes his supporters in the party will spread the word among their friends and family of his merits. He expects to do well in Wallingford, his hometown, but expanding beyond that will take work.

“Party people see there’s an energy there and I’ll keep that up,” he said. “That’s the kind of networking that radio and television can’t buy you.”

New Britain Mayor Timothy Stewart, a Republican, said he’s supporting Farrell and was impressed with his work for consumer protection.

“You can’t say anything bad about the guy,” Stewart said. “He’s what you want in government.”

Foley Declared Winner In Republican Race for Governor; Malloy Takes Win over Lamont for the Democrat Race

These are the results as of 10:55PM EDT on August 8, 2010 as reported on the WFSB website.

ORIGINALLY POSTED: 7:44 pm EDT August 10, 2010

UPDATED: 10:45 pm EDT August 10, 2010

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley has been declared the winner in the Republican gubernatorial race.

Greenwich businessman Ned Lamont has conceded to former Stamford mayor Dan Malloy in the Democratic race for governor.

The race for the Democratic spot on the gubernatorial ticket was tight heading into Tuesday's primaries, with a Quinnipiac Poll released Monday showing the race too close to call.

For Malloy, the primary victory was a redemption of sorts for his loss in the 2006 Democratic gubernatorial primary against New Haven Mayor John DeStefano. This time, Malloy said it was easier to differentiate himself from Lamont, a Greenwich businessman best known for challenging Sen. Joe Lieberman in 2006.

Malloy will face the winner of a three-way Republican primary. Lamont spent more than $8.6 million in the losing effort.

Governor - Democrat

Voter turnout at the polls Tuesday was less than expected. In 2006, statewide primary turnout was 43 percent. It was fueled by a contentious Democratic battle between Lamont and U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman. In 2008, turnout for the Democratic presidential primary was 53 percent.

Foley beat out Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele and Hartford-area business advocate R. Nelson "Oz" Griebel for the Republican gubernatorial ticket. Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell is not seeking re-election.

Governor - Republican

Today is Primary Day – Polls are open until 8PM

Make sure you take the time to get out there and cast your votes for who you want on the ballot come election day in November

Activist’s workshop aims to inspire Hispanic youth

WALLINGFORD — His activism helped save the town’s annual fireworks celebration at the 11th hour, but can Jason Zandri inspire civic participation in Hispanic youth?

He gave it a try Friday at the Spanish Community of Wallingford, discussing topics such as voter turnout and grass-roots activism, like the kind that occurred during the debate over the town-owned Wooding-Caplan parcel.

Nearly 40 middle and high school students attended the lecture Friday as part of the Adelante America leadership program, which sponsors weekly educational lectures and activities for Hispanic youth in Wallingford. The program is sponsored by a grant from AT&T’s educational initiative and is administered through the League of United Latin American Citizens. It aims to help lower the high school dropout rate among Latino youth by exposing students to post secondary ideas and concepts.

The program, hosted by SCOW, is set to end in August. Maria F. Harlow, the agency’s director, is hoping to gain funding for next year to keep it going yearlong.

“It’s supposed to be for the kids that are at risk,” Harlow said, “But we have many kids who are motivated already. ... We’re looking for role models to bring here to talk to them and inspire them about what to do with their lives.”

Zandri’s visit is also a way of leading by example.

He gave a presentation on technology to the group last month, but was originally connected with the agency after hearing about its renovation under Harlow, who took over this year after serving as chairwoman of the board.

“He sent an e-mail and said, ‘How can I help?’ ” Harlow said.

Zandri, a senior technology account manager for Microsoft, put his expertise to work and upgraded all 12 computers at the center. He also unlocked a blocked computer and fixed a wireless router thought to be permanently broken.

“Now people can come to the center. If they have their own computer, they can connect on a laptop,” Zandri said.

Friday, however, was focused on community involvement, one of Zandri’s passions outside of work. “I take issue with a lack of civic involvement,” he said. Valencia Mendoza, 16, a Wallingford resident and Wilcox Technical High School junior, said this summer’s program is much more entertaining that last year’s, which was halted halfway into the summer due to lack of participation.

“This year is better. We’ve been going on field trips a lot,” Mendoza said. Meeting people in the community including engineers and members of the armed services has piqued her interest the most.

“Now I know that there’s so much more out there,” she said.

FROM WALLINGFORD - Checks and balances at WHA

As published in the Record Journal – Sunday August 1, 2010

by Jason Zandri

Over the past few days there have a number of articles in the paper regarding the Wallingford Housing Authority. In addition to the stories there have been even more letters to the editor regarding the same.

Not surprisingly, the comments in the letters to the Editor have fallen along party lines.

I’d like to review some of the accomplishments that have been made recently. I personally view these changes to be a positive for not only the best interests of the tenants but for the taxpayers as well.

Some of the letter writers opined that the changes that have occurred since Chairman Fischer was elected Chair of the WHA have been politically motivated and have not been in the best interests of the tenants.

So I offer these to you to make your own assessment.

The WHA by-laws, established in 1985, were replaced with new by-laws that are now in compliance as some no longer complied with more up to date State statutes.

Recently, a labor attorney was hired to negotiate the new contract between the Authority and Union employees. Previously, Director Nere and Commissioner Prentice negotiated for the Authority. It is important to note that Director Nere received benefits that were awarded to the union employees. Given these facts, there is the possibility of a conflict of interest when someone is a key negotiator and a recipient of the final agreement.

WHA employees can no longer use Authority vehicles for their personal use. In a day and age of responsible use of resources I am all for this. I say this should get reviewed for possible additional expansion to other town departments.

Another change that was made was to rotate meetings among the different elderly complexes making it easier for tenants to attend. Prior to this, all meetings had been held at the administrative office of the WHA.

Public question and answer periods are now a regular part of the Authority agendas where before they were not. This allows for open discussion from tenants or residents that attend the meetings.

Are these changes in the best interests of the tenants? I think so.

The Democrat commissioners supported Bill SB 320 authorizing tenants to appoint their own commissioner instead of the Town Council doing so. Director Nere applauded the Governor for vetoing the bill.

How is that action in the best interests of the tenants or the Wallingford taxpayers? This could have made it possible for the tenants to have voice in choosing the body that manages their complexes much in the same way they control their own destiny when they vote for their representation at the Town Council level.

The Democrat commissioners voted for a forensic audit to evaluate the books and records of the Authority. The Republican members voted against this.

I realize there is an associated cost to do this but it is comparatively low when you look at the total amount of funds that the WHA is responsible for. When you additionally look at some of the reported expenditures and the resulting purchases that do not seem to be comparable there is at least enough argument to defend the valid need for this audit.

If the audit doesn’t turn up anything then it was a piece of mind exercise that cost little more than what the town recently spent defending itself in contract arbitration. The argument for arbitration and the logical expenditure was made in an effort to try keeping salary costs in line. Performing an audit in an atmosphere of questionable accounting results is a logical expenditure as well.

If there’s nothing to find, nothing will be found. If something can be found then monies can be saved / returned / reallocated.

Why the “no” votes opposing an audit?

A good check and balance system, especially in government, should always be considered.

In light of the tight economy it should be mandatory.

Labor board rules against Wallingford

As posted online at MyRecordJournal.com

By: Jesse Buchanan | Posted: Thursday, August 5, 2010

No big surprise here. According to the story online at MyRecordJournal.com the state labor board determined that Wallingford committed a prohibited practice when it voted down a contract with the custodial workers union in September 2009.

The story written by Jesse Buchanan goes on to indicate that the “decision was made in late July by the Connecticut State Board of Labor Relations, which ordered that the town put into effect the agreement of last year.”

The end result of this was that the three-year contract was effectively reinstated and it awards a one percent wage increase for the first year and a 1.95 percent wage increase for the subsequent two.

That wage increase cost is on top of the costs that the town needed to spend, in both time and money, to defend itself in arbitration. Those additional monetary costs were in the neighborhood of $12,000.00.

Again, this is in addition of the costs of people time spent doing work related to the arbitration effort.
