STRATFORD It’s unclear who will win November’s election for mayor, but one thing is certain: whoever it is will be getting more money than the position pays now.
The Town Council voted 7-3 last week to approve a roughly 12 percent raise for the town’s chief elected official from $110,000 currently to $122,945 to take effect next year and be followed by annual 2.25 percent increases.

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.
