Will You Vote In Next Tuesday’s Special Election For School Board?

by:

The ballot for the September 4 Board of Education special election.

Next Tuesday September 4 nine candidates will appear on the ballot for the special election to fill four Board of Education seats per order of the Connecticut Supreme Court that invalidated state control of city schools. City electors may vote for any three of the candidates.  The day after Labor Day is not exactly the greatest calendar spot for an election so a number of campaign operatives are working the absentee ballot process. Why wait until the last minute? This is Bridgeport, the place that never disappoints when it comes to election news. So, are you voting?
