To the editor:
Mike Tetreau has spent a lot of time and money disparaging the City of Ansonia instead of talking about his vision for Fairfield’s future.
Two years ago, the people of Ansonia, where Democrats outnumber Republicans 5 to 1, realized their city was in dire condition and elected a Republican mayor.
The new mayor sought out the most innovative and talented people he could find to comprise his team. Chris Tymniak was hired as city manager because the mayor knew Chris had the energy, experience and innovative ideas to help to turn the city around.
Chris knew that Ansonia had a lot of serious problems — ailing schools and an economy that was really struggling. Chris was up for the challenge. In the past two years, Chris’ team was able to reduce taxes, increase education spending and retain businesses.
Ansonia has a long way to go, but they are finally on their way, thanks to Chris’ team.
Tetreau should be ashamed of the way he has attacked Ansonia and, thereby, the people of Ansonia. I know Ansonia well.
The people of Ansonia may not have the resources or geographical advantages of Fairfield, but they have pride in their community and are good, hard working, middle class people. Fairfield is not and will never be Ansonia… there is NO comparison.
I know Chris will bring that same level of enthusiasm and innovative ideas to Fairfield as First Selectman. I hope you will give him a chance and vote for him on Nov. 3.
