Guest Column: Adamowski ‘A Man Without A Plan’

Mayoral candidate Ed Adamowski is in denial. He appears either unable or unwilling to accept the fact that Mayor David Cassetti has had a very successful first term. The Democrat candidate apparently cannot comprehend all the good the Cassetti Team has done on behalf of the taxpayers in Ansonia.
