TRUMBULL Half of the town’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force members have quit in the past two months amid controversy over the group’s chairman.
The last time the eight-member group met was in January, shortly before social media blew up over chairman Tara Figueroa’s comments made in July calling the Blue Lives Matter flag a symbol of racial bigotry and comparing it to the Confederate flag.

TRUMBULL A petition urging the removal of the chairman of the Trumbull Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Task Force for comments she made on social media has garnered more than 200 signatures in just a few days.

It was shared on several Trumbull-oriented pages and the union demanded her resignation from the committee. Union President Sgt.
