Brookfield Democrats joins in the concern being raised over First Selectman Tara Carr’s recent tweets. We look forward to the results of an investigation and appropriate next steps. Carr’s use of social media is irresponsible, dangerous, and sets a poor example for young people. She is divisive and chooses to peddle conspiracy theories, behavior unbecoming of a leader of this town.

Ms. Carr recently came before the Charter Revision Commission requesting a Chief of Staff to assist her with the minutiae of running our town. Perhaps if she she spent less time finding ways to attack other elected officials and more time working collaboratively on the job of First Selectman, she would not need to hire additional staff to perform the job she so confidently requested.
