Complexity has been added to complexity in the unfolding PURA mess.

Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, Gettr, Truth Social, TwitterAre politics more important than Stamford students? It seems so. Central office administrators and five BOE majority members believe they can pass the budget while disguising what is really happening. Their silence hides the questions they don’t want to answer. Truth doesn’t need force, but their game plan does.
