Assembly 125th District

The central and western half of New Canaan and reaches into Wilton

Hector Lopez

Green Party

I was born in Puerto Rico in 1942, arrived in the U.S. in 1956 with my parents, lived in New York City for 35 years before moving to New Canaan in 1991. I set up a number of small businesses and volunteered in New Canaan schools from first grade to 12 grade. I am a justice of the Peace. I am a veteran and participated in the anti-war movement during the war in Vietnam and all wars up to the present.

I believe that diplomacy with justice and respect for the sovereignty of nations, especially for U.S. colonies like Puerto Rico, is the course to be followed by our government to achieve justice for all. I have worked on several local initiatives to protect open spaces, to close the Indian Point nuclear plant and stop global warming.

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

The policy changes that I propose to resolve the serious financial difficulties of the state are to close unnecessary military bases and stop the waste that goes on in the U.S. Armed Forces. While in the Army, I saw the waste that is going on.

Also, tax the very rich. By doing so the federal Government can allocate money for Connecticut state and other areas of the U.S. and provide free tuition and forgive debts of all U.S. students.

Tom O’Dea

Incumbent, Republican

I have had the honor and privilege of being your State Representative for the 125th District since 2013. Thank you.

I’m ranking member on the legislature’s Transportation Committee, and I’m also a member of the Judiciary and Regulation Review Committees.

I am a lawyer at Diserio, Martin, O’Connor & Castiglioni, LLP, and our firm handles all types of matters from real estate and trust and estates, to intellectual property and securities.

I have had the following appointments: 1995 – 2004, the Police Officers Standards and Training Council, which oversees all municipal police training; 1997 – 2004, Victim Compensation Commissioner where I adjudicated claims brought by victims; 2004 – 2007, the Judicial Selection Commission, which is responsible for the appointment of judges.

I was an elected member of the New Canaan Town Council from 2005-2012.

My wife Kerry and I have three children in the public schools: Tommy (17), Caroline (15), and Michael (13).

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

We must lower taxes and make the state more business friendly in order to grow the economy. If we are going to lower taxes, we must cut spending.

When I first ran in 2012, I called for a 10% reduction in state spending. State spending has actually increased by about 14% since that time. As a result, I believe a 15-20% cut in spending is now needed. We also need to shrink the number of state employees and ask them to pay more towards their benefits. Our state debt is over $32 billion which is about $8,898 a person according to the Yankee Institute, and our debt service will be 13% of the budget. That does not include our state pension obligations which are some of the lowest funded in the country.

Quite simply, we need to cut spending in order to lower our corporate and personal tax burden to below that of the surrounding states.

Assembly 142nd District

Southeastern New Canaan and northern Norwalk

Fred Wilms

Incumbent, Republican

I have been honored to be your State Representative since 2014. I serve on the Appropriations, Transportation and Public Health committees. My focus has been to employ my strong finance background to turn around Connecticut’s economy and finances.

I was chairman of the Norwalk Board of Finance from 2005-13 where we protected Norwalk’s Triple AAA bond ratings. Professionally I have been in commercial banking for 33 years, and am currently a senior vice president at Webster Bank, in charge of all small business relationships in lower Fairfield County.

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

1. Spending changes. State employee compensation accounts for 40% of the state budget and is $2 billion greater than the private sector. I propose to move all employees from defined benefit pensions to 401K style plans, switch medical plans to HSA high deductible, plus revamp post-retirement health care (OPEB) to stipends. Wages should be frozen for the next three years.

My first bill this January will be to apply these to all non-union state employees, starting with the state legislature. Outsource Department of Motor Vehicles and Social Services functions to the not-for-profit sector, which provides better services at competitive cost levels.

2. Tax changes. Reduce business taxes and eliminate many nuisance levies. For individuals significantly lower the estate tax.

About this Guide

The League of Women Voters of New Canaan and the New Canaan Advertiser are pleased to continue the tradition of cooperating on the production of a Voters Guide as a service to the community. For the Nov. 8 election we focused on the four races to represent New Canaan in Hartford — two for state representative and two for state senator. We also cover the Town of New Canaan Charter Revision ballot questions and the local election for registrar of voters.

Candidates were asked to submit biographical information, experience qualifications and ideas about solving the state’s fiscal difficulties in writing.

The information on the Charter Revision Ballot Questions came from the Town of New Canaan Charter Revision Commission’s final report submitted to the Town Council.

State Senate candidates

A State Senator represents his or her geographic district in the upper house of the state’s General Assembly in the legislative process. As prescribed, they may propose, amend, vote to approve or disapprove proposed legislative bills and if necessary, vote to override a veto by the governor. Through the committee structure, they are also responsible for reviewing, prioritizing and providing an initial recommendation for proposed bills.

Term of office: Two years

New Canaan is served by two State Senate districts:

The 26th District consists entirely of Redding, Ridgefield, Westport, and Wilton, and parts of Bethel, New Canaan and Weston. (Voters in New Canaan Districts 2 and 3 vote for the 26th District State Senator.).

The 36th District consists entirely of Greenwich and parts of New Canaan and Stamford. (Voters in New Canaan District 1 vote for the 36th District State Senator.)

The candidates were asked to provide up to 150 words of biographical information, qualifications and relevant experience, and, separately, up to 200 words to answer the question that you will see in the sections below.

26th District State Senate

The eastern third of New Canaan; all of Westport, Wilton, Ridgefield and Redding; southeastern Bethel, and the western half of Weston.

Toni Boucher

Incumbent, Republican

I was elected to represent the 26th district in 2008, after 12 years in the House. My legislative career was preceded by membership in the state Board of Education, the Wilton Board of Selectmen, and as both chairman and secretary of the Wilton Board of Education.

I currently serve as the Senate Ranking Member of the Transportation and Education committees, as well as a member of the Finance Committee. My ability to work in a collegial and bipartisan fashion allowed me to earn the most votes of any opposed state senator in Connecticut in the 2012 and 2014 elections.

I can also call on extensive private sector experience, both as a financial executive and a small business owner. My financial background and experience in business have given me the tools to knowledgeably evaluate Connecticut’s fiscal problems and to work with colleagues to devise solutions to restore prosperity to our state.

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

1. Cut the cost of living and running a business here.

• Lower taxes to attract more people and businesses, expanding Connecticut’s tax base.
• Government should get out of the way of business. A pro-business climate is possible only if leaders believe that business should be free to pursue profits.
• Reduce taxes by capping government spending. Other states successfully controlled costs and kept retirement and healthcare plans solvent.
• Identify services that community based nonprofits can perform better and more cost effectively.
• Restrict borrowing to essential capital improvements and infrastructure investments, and bring debt in line with guidelines for strong agency ratings.
• Spend strategically on transportation and education.

2. Reduce Government Spending / Pay Down Debt

• A hard wage freeze for state employees in FY 2017 ($63 million).
• A hiring freeze.
• Enact a spending cap.
• Align public sector wages with private sector wages ($1.4 – $2.5 billion in savings)
• 12% reduction in Select Appropriations ($157 million)
• Personal service savings at the Governor’s level, rescind 12% raises
• Increase non-union employees’ co-pays for prescriptions and doctors visits
• Legislature must exercise its right to vote on each union contract.

Carolanne Curry

Democrat

Four generations of the Curry family have been dedicated to public service and political issues in Connecticut. My family years growing up in Hartford gave me the chance to start my political career on the first rung of the ladder — dropping literature and telephoning voters.

Later as an adult, I ran campaigns, was appointed to permanent State Senate staff in Hartford, and subsequently I was appointed by two mayors to direct major city departments.

I was a founding board member of the Women’s Campaign School at Yale University. I spoke to groups throughout the United States, and was elected president of WCS after 14 years with this unique training program.

I  bring a wide range of skills and experience to the State Senate position, especially in analyzing the merits of legislation and interfacing with the extensive number of  legislators, lobbyists and concerned public citizens.

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

I would propose on day one that the Business Entity Tax be eliminated. This is a nuisance tax that discourages small businesses from staying in the state. And for those small businesses that remain, there is no opportunity for growth with this kind of onerous tax.

I accept that there are serious financial difficulties, but recovery cannot be built on the backs of those who can least afford it. Incentivizing small business growth is the better approach.

I would also urge the cessation of $22 million dollar gifts from the State of Connecticut to corporations that are already wealthy beyond imagination. It is mind-boggling to know that Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s largest hedge funds with its headquarters in Westport, was the recipient of a $22 million bond package, so new employees could be hired and renovations could be made to current space in Connecticut. This company is quite capable of hiring its own employees and renovating space on its own dime.

I think it makes more sense to provide these kinds of financial incentives to companies that manufacture products. This generates employment as well as generating consumer purchase.

36th District State Senate

The western two thirds of New Canaan, northern Stamford and Greenwich

John Blankley

Democrat

Since receiving my MA from Oxford in 1969, I have served at the executive and board level for shipping, oil and gas, minerals, mining, chemical, and technology businesses including Stolt Tankers and Terminals and BP North America. In 2001, I co-founded Flagship Networks Inc., a computer consulting and systems integration company, that is now a multi-million dollar company of which I am the CEO.

I also have a strong record of public service. I have served on the Representative Town Meeting and the Board of Estimate and Taxation, and understand the role that government can play in creating a business friendly climate. Building a strong economy in which all Connecticut residents will flourish is my top priority, and I have the right qualifications and best plan to do so.

It would be an honor to serve this district as State Senator.

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

First, I will advocate for the establishment of a state Infrastructure Bank, which will allow us to modernize Connecticut’s transportation infrastructure without placing an additional financial burden on taxpayers. A modern infrastructure will also help attract families and businesses to our state, which will organically grow our state’s revenues by expanding our tax base.

Second, to control state spending, I will advocate for $26 billion dollar bond deal that, at current low-interest rates, can be used to cover the state’s unfunded pension liability. This will involve renegotiating union contracts and implementing a target benefit plan that will effectively restructure the current pension-related issues by introducing a defined contribution system. In 1996, while serving as the CFO of BP North America, I did the biggest bond deal ever.

This experience makes me equipped to tackle this challenge.

L. Scott Frantz

Incumbent, Republican

I have thoroughly enjoyed serving the people of the 36th Senate District for nearly eight years and consider it an honor to do so. I have worked very hard in my four terms in Hartford trying to bring spending under control, reduce waste and fraud, improve our business competitiveness and improve our transportation assets.

Having spent two decades on economic development and transportation issues and working with a variety of teams both within the State Senate and outside, I have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges our state faces in these areas. As the previous chairman of the Connecticut Development Authority, the Brownfields Redevelopment Authority and Bradley International Airport, I have learned how to work best with state agencies.

Adding that experience to the last eight years on the Transportation Committee and the Commerce Committee, I believe I can remain very effective in all of these areas going forward..

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

Connecticut is in the worst fiscal shape in its history with record bonded indebtedness, record unfunded liabilities, a shrinking tax base and perpetual deficits. To put the state back on solid fiscal footing, the General Assembly and the governor need to immediately stop any increases in spending and seriously consider more extensive cuts while being more honest with the citizens of Connecticut.

Taxpayers deserve to know that general fund expenses are moving into bonding and that bond premiums are being used to essentially pay for daily expenses. Secondly, as part of future budget cuts, contracts with state employees need to be opened up and renegotiated to reflect our current fiscal circumstances, and the state needs to change to a defined contribution retirement plan from a completely unrealistic defined benefit plan which has made us the second most, if not the most, burdened people in the country.

I consider it imperative for state government to act on these policy suggestions early in the new session to begin to repair our state and prevent more taxpayers from leaving. It has been devastating to the state to lose so many very large taxpayers, large employers and Blue Chip companies such as General Electric.

Ed Heflin

Green Party

I’m an entrepreneur, real estate investor and developer, a Wall Street consultant, and an academic bringing 15-plus years of Wall Street experience to the people of Main Street, Conn. where it belongs. I hold six university degrees including an MBA, an MS in Computational Finance, and a PhD in Physics.

I’m uniquely qualified the bring about the change Connecticut desperately needs to thrive; having studied, worked and lived in many countries, speaking many languages, and making Connecticut my home, to give all ‘Connectizens’ the strongest advocacy available to articulate their best interests in Hartford and not those of Wall Street.

What two policy changes would you propose to help the state resolve its serious financial difficulties?

Firstly, my Let’s Make Connecticut Green Again deals with Connecticut’s ballooning $1 billion-plus annual budget deficits and $26 billion unfunded liabilities by establishing Connecticut Public Bank to take advantage of all the tools of fractional reserve banking just like Wall Street.

Einstein said, “Problems cannot be solved with the same mind set that created them.” My solutions include lower taxes, level spending, and generating much more money from our own Connecticut assets through Connecticut Public Bank.

Can this be done? Absolutely… our colonial founding fathers relied on this tried and true form of banking.

And instead of getting the paltry 0.35% on the state’s $29 billion pensions from Wall Street today, we can get up to 1000% from our own Connecticut Main Street Bank.

Does this really work? Undoubtedly… 40% of all global citizen-centric banking is Public Banking and in America the Bank of North Dakota (BND) is now a poster-child AA rated bank… higher than all of Wall Street.

BND just posted its 12th consecutive year of record profits with more than $130 million in income and has been producing a profit for the great people of North Dakota since 1918.

Don’t we deserve more revenue in Connecticut?

New Canaan Registrar of Voters

George Cody

Democrat

A third generation resident, I have served as the Democratic Registrar of Voters for 22 years. My grandfather served as Registrar of Voters from 1917 to 1947.

Past President of Registrar of Voters Association of Connecticut (2012 to 2014), serving on the governor’s commissions charged with the selection of our current voting equipment. As a member and chair of the Registrar’s Legislative Committee, I have monitored election related legislation, including on-line and Election Day registration.

My goal is to serve the citizens of New Canaan in an entirely non-partisan manner and to assure the smooth, accurate and fair conduct of elections.

Election memorabilia

A presentation of presidential posters and political buttons, mostly from between 1900 and 2014 is on display at the New Canaan Historical Society through Election Day. It is from the collection of George Cody. — Dave Stewart photos

• If you are not sure of your voting location, check the list in this section or call the New Canaan registrars of voters at 203-594-3060. NCAdvertiser.com also features the list.
• Remember to bring proper identification to the polls. Acceptable identification includes a driver’s license, Social Security card or any other pre-printed form which shows name and local address, signature or photograph. A registered voter may also sign Form ED-681, “Signatures of Electors who did not present ID,” under penalty of false statement if inaccurate. Out-of-state driver’s licenses will not be accepted.
• If your name does not appear on the list of registered voters, speak with one of the registrars, deputy registrars or the moderator at your polling location and he or she will pursue the matter immediately.
• If you are not registered, you can vote in the election. If you want to register on Election Day, you must do so in person at the Registrar of Voters’ office at Town Hall, 77 Main Street, 1st floor.
• You need two forms of identification for Election Day registration, such as a driver’s license, birth certificate, Social Security card, college photo ID, passport or other government-issued identification. If the IDs do not show your current address, then you also need documentation proving you live in town, such as utility bill, rental or mortgage document, paycheck, property tax bill, or other government document.
