The Milford Coalition of Condominiums Association (MCCA) is proud to announce that they will be host to a debate between mayoral candidates Ben Blake (D), Bernard “Bob” Joy, Jr. (R) and Rocco Frank (I) in the clubhouse of Southwind Village Condominiums on October 8, 2011 at 9 A.M.
The candidates will each be given 5 questions, predetermined by the members of MCCA, prior to the debate and each will have a two-minute opening and closing statement. The topics and issues debated will relate to condominium ownership in Milford.
Joy, a real estate agent and first-term alderman is looking to continue the GOP hold of City Hall after current mayor James L. Richetelli, Jr. wraps up a decade of service in November. Joy is the son of the late Probate Judge Bob Joy, who served for over 30 years. Blake, a Democrat who has completed his forth term on the Board of Alderman is the son of Bruce Blake, who recently retired as principal of The Academy, Milford’s alternative high school. Frank is the independent party’s candidate.
The coalition, founded in 1992, is currently made up of over 50 condominium and homeowner associations in Milford. Coalition meetings are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month and provide an open forum for members to discuss common problems and issues. MCCA has been host to other mayoral and aldermen debates in previous years. When asked about this year’s debate, Coalition president Mistie Powell said, “I am thrilled that all three candidates were so eager to participate. We encourage all condominium owners within the city of Milford to attend. I think we can all look forward to a lively debate”.
Southwind Village is located at 1 Carriage Drive in Milford, CT.
