State Democrats File FOI Complaint

TRUMBULL, CT — State Democrats filed a Freedom of Information complaint with the state commission on the same day First Selectman Tim Herbst announced his candidacy for governor.

The state Democrat party alleged that the administration didn't follow through on a request for billing records related to sending a private investigator to Democratic Town Chairman Tom Kelly's home in 2015, according to the Trumbull Times.

A complaint was filed with the State Elections Enforcement Commission in 2015 that alleged Kelly resided in his Stratford home and not his Trumbull one. The complaint was dismissed.

Herbst called the move a political stunt and said the town attorney complied with the request which revealed no documents because no town payments were made.
