STRATFORD, CT Shameful, disgraceful and domestic terrorists were among the words used by Stratford officials to describe the supporters of President Donald Trump who stormed Capitol Hill and suspended Wednesday s proceedings to confirm Joe Biden as the country s next president. What unfolded in Washington, D.C. yesterday was a shameful and disgraceful display the likes of which I never imagined I would see in my lifetime, Stratford Mayor Laura Hoydick said in a prepared statement. To see the very heart of our republic breached by a violent mob invading the seats of our legislative government is heartbreaking.

The Stratford Town Council amended a resolution on racism before voting last month. (Anna Bybee-Schier/Patch)
STRATFORD, CT Several Stratford residents recently spoke against the many changes made to a resolution on racism before it was approved last month by the Town Council. Stratford is not the squeaky clean place that we think it is, there is a lot of implicit bias and there is a lot of discrimination, resident Barbara Heimlich said at the public forum preceding the council s meeting last week.
The changes to the resolution removed language that: referred to racism as a public health crisis, sought periodic reports to town administrators and councilmen on racial equity goals, and requested improved data on and analysis of inequities within town initiatives.
