Like countless municipalities across the country, Groton City is at a crossroads, and who becomes our next mayor will play a big part in what direction we take going forward.
Residents should know that Mayor Keith Hedrick, as a city councilor, voted to sell Thames Valley Communications to a private equity firm for $150,000. The city assumed $38.8 million in outstanding debt and sold 100% of the company s stock and all capital assets.
Atlantic Broadband recently purchased TVC for $50 million. Is this the management experience we expect from Mayor Hedrick?
Aundré Bumgardner opposes privatization of city services. He brings foresight and fiscal discipline. He understands the value of high-speed internet − a critical service for families during the coronavirus pandemic. He believes that broadband should be treated like electricity and water, as a public utility.
