There is a kind of fragility to the power that local governments hold, a vulnerability that is often overlooked until it is too late. Tod Laudonia understands this fragility all too well. His campaign is a response to the creeping centralization of power in Hartford, one that sadly our own Democrat representatives have given into - a process that threatens to erode the autonomy of towns like ours.
Tod’s opposition to the regionalization of tax collection and regulations is not just about preserving the status quo; it’s about resisting a shift in power that would see local resources redistributed according to a larger state of Connecticut’s bureaucratic government agenda. This is not merely a fiscal issue, although that is very concerning in its own right; it’s a question of who controls the everyday reality of our community. Tod’s commitment to this cause is unwavering, and it is central to his campaign.
But what truly sets Tod apart is his understanding of what it means to be a representative. Tod sees himself as a voice for the people. His criticism of those who vote in lockstep with their party, despite representing politically diverse districts, is a powerful reminder of what representation should be.
Tod’s campaign correctly warns us all of the fragility of local power and the need to defend it vigorously.
