Today, Tom Jagodzinski issued a communication attacking the Halloween decorations of one of our candidates. The decorations include the predictable tombstones, on one it said, "Dear Old Fred, He was alive and is now dead", a play for rhyming Fred and Dead. Pretty common stuff. But not to super sleuth Tom Jagodzinski!

Today, Tom's communication alleged that the "Fred" must be an attack on the former Mayor of Milford and called it hurtful.

In fact, the candidate in question has had these same decorations in her yard for 13 years, long before our former Mayor passed away. In fact, there are many similar decorations across town and across the country.

If this great political strategy is the work of Tom alone, I would encourage the Republicans to remove this guy from his post. He is making your Party look really desperate and silly. Rather than talking about issues, he's attacking Halloween decorations.

In all my years, this is by far the most goofy and nonsensical and desperate political move I have every seen, and I've seen a lot.

I hope all voters across our city get to hear Tom's allegations. I think they speak clearly and plainly that Republicans do not want to engage in a discussion about the challenges facing our city and the issues in this race but instead want to issue communications about peoples' haloween decorations.

I think this basically sums up this years election.
