Mezzo Outlines Platform for Re-Election Bid

The Naugatuck mayor says he wants residents to know where he stands on issues facing the borough.

Naugatuck Mayor Bob Mezzo on Tuesday outlined his campaign platform and revealed his position on numerous issues facing the borough. 

That information can be found on his blog, dubbed "Bob's Blog," here at www.bobmezzo.com

Mezzo, a Democrat seeking a third consecutive term, states on the blog: 

"As I have demonstrated in previous campaigns, I strongly believe that the citizens of Naugatuck deserve to know my positions on the issues.  I have written several blog posts on the most pressing matters that we face as a Borough, and will continue to add various topics until the election.  These blogs can be found on my personal blog, www.bobmezzo.com, under the “Issues in Detail” link at the top of the main page.  Such posts are not for those simply looking for sound bites, as many are lengthy and contain much information on positions and proposals as what as what we have already accomplished over the past four-plus years. A summary of these blogs will be posted shortly under a “Issues Summary” header.  My biography, written by my wife Eileen, has also been updated and can be viewed by linking the “Biography” tab."
Mezzo is running against political newcomer Jim O'Sullivan, a Republican who also has a website - www.jimfornaugatuck.com. As of Tuesday, the site featured a brief biography about him; there was no information about where he stands on issues, though the "about my campaign" tab says information is coming soon.
