(And a Whole Lot of Potential) I watched the latest Fairfield County Council meeting on YouTube. Yes, YouTube. County council meetings are on YouTube now. We’re living in the future. There were meaningful moments. A moment of silence for Brittany Goodwin. Recognition for two citizens who saved a life on New Year’s Eve. That’s Fairfield […]
The 10 AM Hurdle: Who’s Shaping Our Future?
February 5, 2026 By
Last week, Fairfield County asked residents to share input on the future of our community. That’s a positive step.
