The Fairfield Historical Society confirmed executive director Steven Young has resigned with no stated reason or last day. A seven member search committee formed to find a successor held its first meeting. President William Vogel cited personnel issues and declined comment on criteria. First Selectman Kenneth Flatto said he was surprised. The society is private and non profit and the construction project proceeds.
The Easton Democratic Town Committee released a donor list after an elections official said the group likely violated state law by not disclosing names for at least five years. Only donors at fund raising event tickets were listed, not individual contributors, despite requirements for names and addresses for gifts over 30 dollars. The committee reports 23,514 dollars raised since November 6, 2003, all tied to fundraising events, with the last non-event contribution dated November 5, 2003.
Michael Kot, treasurer of the Easton Republican Town Committee, cautions that not all money can come from a fundraiser. He emphasizes funding diversity and warns against overreliance on a single event for campaign finance.
Records filed in the Easton Town Clerk's Office trace back to 1999 showing the DTC did not include donor names from fundraising events. Most, if not all, of the documents lack donor detail.
The town committee must list every contributor over thirty dollars, including those who pay via fundraising event tickets. Albert Lenge, managing director, Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission, notes this disclosure requirement.
Lenge notes confusion over reporting donations and calls the initial lack of donor names a problem. Easton DTC releases donor list after media inquiries, with Ronald Kowalski stating the group complied with reporting rules and will publish names to clear the air.
