WEST HARTFORD, CT - Republican Town Committee leaders recently took to the phones to express their disapproval of a decision to purchase the local University of Connecticut campus, the Hartford Courant reported. The purchase came with a price tag of $1 million.

With the help of the GOP, the committee made robocalls to more than 4,500 registered Democrats accusing leaders of irresponsible government spending, according to the Hartford Courant. The calls took place on May 30. (To sign up for West Hartford breaking news alerts and more, click here.)

Officials said the calls were meant to provide voters a way to connect with Mayor Shari Cantor directly about the vote to move forward with the purchase, the Hartford Courant reported. Purchase of the 58-acre campus has not been finalized.
