  • The simmering political feud on Bloomfield's town council heated up sharply this month, with the town manager complaining of "chaos and dysfunction" and two councilors engaging in an angry back and forth prompted by a mysterious investigation into a violation of secrecy of executive session talks.

The article from MSN discusses a political conflict in the small town of New Fairfield, Connecticut, where the local government is experiencing significant turmoil. The situation escalated when the town's Board of Selectmen, led by First Selectman Pat Del Monaco, faced accusations of creating a chaotic and dysfunctional environment.
