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.”
pavia has been a big disappointment, I expected so much more from him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t run for re-election. this will open the door for that wealthy lefty twit david martin and then watch out taxpayer, back to the good old days of malloy levels of spending, martin could care less since he’s extremely rich.
If his staying damages the Republican Party he should retire and seek private employment. Working for a living is not that bad.
When Mike Jarjura bolted the Democratic Party in Waterbury, Republicans swarmed around him like flies to carrion. No person is so important to demean the Party.
That goes double for Christopher Shays! There’s no room in the GOP for spoiled brats and unhinged royalty. NONE at all!!
