Courant Endorsements

I read with amusement the editorial on Friday where they gave their endorsements for Town Council. I was not really surprised with the path the Courant took because they typically go the gutless route and choose the incumbents. It is the easy choice. When the Courant looked at the District 1 race, they mentioned the three candidates; myself, Joe Bosco and Tom Barry. In evaluating the candidates however, they mentioned how Tom is a “promising newcomer” while my candidacy is ignored spare a passing mention. I suppose that under the circumstances, with newspaper readership shrinking to irrelevance it shouldn’t bother me that the Courant chose to take this path. This is unfortunately the cross that independent candidates have to bear. It is really a shame that in the current era where both major political parties are under fire and face increasing scrutiny, the Courant continues to follow the gutless path.
