Stamford Mayor Mike Pavia: should he stay or go, from the GOP?

 

Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia, caught in the Government Center this afternoon following an event for GOP 4th Congressional District candidate Steve Obsitnik, seemed to be hedging on whether he’ll leave the GOP: “I made a statement, I guess it was about a month ago that I’m thinking about leaving the GOP and without getting into all of the details, it just had to do with more of party politics than anything else and not necessarily a dissemination of the issues, a dissemination of the work load that had to be dealt with. It was more ‘we need to do this in this regard in order to make the Republican Party look good’ and it’s because it’s what the Republican Party wants. When you’re in a job like mine, you can’t subscribe to that. You have to be able to have the flexibility and the ability to deal with the issues as best as you possibly can and you can’t do that with one arm tied behind your back.”
