WHY THIS MATTERS:
On November 4, 2025, South Windsor voters elected six Democrats and three Republicans to the Town Council and approved charter revisions, including reducing the maximum number of seats any single party may hold from six to five.
The next day, without public discussion or Town Council input, unelected bureaucrats retroactively and unevenly applied the charter changes, contradicting the Charter Review Commission’s clear legislative intent regarding the effective date of the maximum seat restriction, as shown here: https://youtu.be/PLBZ4Txy1_A?si=b6oN0n8hZcGGvtKu.
Because of this flawed interpretation by unelected bureaucrats, Democrat Harrison Amadasun was stripped of the seat he earned on the Town Council, even though he received nearly 1,000 more votes than Republican Rick Balboni, who was installed in his place. This decision effectively disenfranchised thousands of South Windsor voters.
