Daily Commentary: Library yes! Finch no!

Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch and lackey City Councilman Bob Walsh were roundly repudiated in yesterday's library referendum. Finch, who surreptiously attempted to scuttle the referendum question, was rejected by a nearly 2-to-1 margin by Bridgeport voters. The vote not only signifies a victory for Bridgeport's readers, but also signals an SOS from Finch's flagging re-electoral campaign attempt.

The vote indicates that voters rejected the mayor's inflammatory rhetoric and voted their conscience. Congratulations to Bridgeport voters for putting the yoke of the DTC aside.
