Mayoral candidate takes day off from campaigning to ….campaign

Jeff Kohut, the independent mayoral candidate in Bridgeport, took the day off from seeking office Tuesday to ask for voters to sign petitions asking General Electric, the multi-national behemoth, to move back into Bridgeport. “We believe we can definitely get GE back here,” said Kohut in an interview outside Park City Magnet School’s polling place on Chopsey Hill Road in the city’s North End. He said that about 1,000 signatures have already been gathered. He was not wearing any buttons or sporting any signs identifying his own campaign.
