It is extremely unfortunate that at a recent Caucus of
the Democratic Town Committee, many long-time, highly-respected New Milford
Democrats including a former Mayor, former First Selectmen, former Council
members, current Council members and former and current Commissioners were
summarily rejected by newcomer and three-time loser Andy Grossman and a few
disgruntled Democrats.
Talk about rejection?
Did anyone at the Caucus bring up the fact that on three different
occasions Andy Grossman was given the opportunity by the Democratic Town Committee
to run for political office? He ran for Town
Council. Rejected. He ran for the Planning Commission. Rejected. He ran for State Representative. Rejected.
In all three elections, he was the lowest vote-getter.
Clearly, Andy Grossman doesn't get the message that he fails
to resonate with New Milford voters so, naturally, he wants to blame others for
his election losses. Clearly, one of the
reasons that he lost all three elections was that his political speeches have
no substance and are fraught with the idea of raising taxes on New Milford
residents even higher.
Neither he nor his fellow malcontented Democrats have any
fresh ideas; years on the Council but
not one of them has ever come forward with a fresh, original idea. They are quick to criticize but offer no
substance.
Andy Grossman wants to be the poster boy for a new Democratic
Party in New Milford but, to the contrary, after his trifecta of election
losses he should only be a red flag of danger for what the local Democrats have
in store for New Milford's future.
Andy-the-Taxman should not ever be the Democrats' voice in
Town government.
