If Joe Lieberman could wave his magic wand, we will be be attacked in 2009 by terrorists. From the Connecticut Post Editorial Page:

Senator's appeals to fear must stop

There is no question that Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman has a point: Terrorists could strike America early in the next president's administration.

They could also strike tomorrow. Or never, or we could all die of avian flu. The possibilities are endless!

Lieberman, of course, has no ability to predict the future, about terrorism or anything else. That's not the point - the point is to scare people into voting for his preferred presidential candidate, Sen. John McCain. It is shameless.

Gas prices continue to climb beyond the average person's reach. The prices of basic necessities like food and electricity are forcing people to make choices. With news of the national and state economies becoming more onerous each day, it was gratifying to witness Milford's Board of Aldermen handle the budget process with intelligence and compassion.

Well, old jabbing Jack Fowler is back and yes he’s on the attack; his latest target Milford’s own Aldermanic Chairman, Ben Blake. In a recent letter to the editor by Mr. Fowler the people of Milford are again treated to ringside seat for Fowler’s, National Review-Ann-Coulter-style political attacks. What's bewildering is how Mr. Fowler can't seem to grasp, as many times as people have tried to explain it to him, that the people of Milford have no appetite for his style of political and personal attacks. His acerbic style may be befitting and celebrated with his National Review crowd but it just doesn’t fit in our community.

The following was a letter from the leadership of the elected Board of Education to the New Haven Register.

Milford Aldermanic vote pleases school board

The Milford Board of Education thanks the Milford Board of Aldermen for restoring $990,000 of the $2.1 million cut made to our budget request by the Board of Finance.

We realize the aldermen faced a difficult challenge trying to balance the needs of the students with the needs of the taxpayers. Families are facing economic hardships seldom experienced. The cost of living is escalating at an alarming rate.

Fortunately, the aldermen understood that the Milford student cannot wait out these difficult times. Come September, thanks to the 10-5 vote to restore a large part of what will be needed to effectively run our schools for 2008-09, our students will have the appropriate number of teachers and relatively small class sizes.

The Board of Education and the administration will do our best to ensure that children are effectively challenged and enlightened throughout the coming year. We thank the aldermen, for their thoughtfulness and foresight.

David J. Hourigan (D) is chairman, Greta Stanford (D) is majority leader, and Joanne Rohrig (R) is minority leader of the Milford Board of Education.

Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans.

It's time for all of us to come together to take on John McCain in the general election.

The following was a letter to the editor in the Milford Weekly on April 10, 2008 written by Linda Stephenson, DTC Vice-Chair.

Political division -
not what city needs

To the Editor:

Simply the worst of all politics are evidenced by Republican Jack Fowler's recent comments in the press, the politics of fear and division. Having no official capacity in Milford, the local press continues to seek out Fowler's comments simply for their amusing shock value.

The Milford Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Jim Amann (D) for Governor. This is the first time ever that the Milford Chamber has endorsed any political candidate, and indicates the high level of respect Jim has from the business community. Speaker of the House James Amann announced that he will not run for re-election as Representative of the 118th District and will concentrate his political efforts on running for Governor. He has endorsed Barbara Lambert (D), currently serving as Alderman in the district. Ms. Lambert was also present at the Chamber endorsement.
