The Hatch Act

A gentleman came up to me on the 6th and said he was going to vote for me until he read that I supported Ann Halibozek and the submission of a Hatch Act complaint.

The Cromwell police chief should not have stayed on as police chief and ran for First Selectman, it is very black and white. A federal lawyer agreed and in the end the police chief agreed because he did not retire as chief or fight the complaint.

Ann Halibozek was not in the wrong to file the complaint. She was protecting the town because if he was allowed to run and administer federal funds, the town could have been liable. The police chief is one of the few people I know who can fall into a tub of cow poop and come out smelling like a rose. He was wrong to not retire as chief and then run for office. The chief was also investigating the person he was running against as police chief. Personally, I do not see that as fair and ethical.

I promise you I will not put myself in a situation where there is a conflict of interest. I am extremely fair and unbiased and will do what is right, even if it means admitting I am wrong or I made a mistake. The betterment of Cromwell is bigger than one person or group of people. Service before self.
