Mayor Kevin Scarpati has just secured a fifth term as Meriden’s mayor by a margin of 1,600 votes. A firm victory over his Republican challenger Kurt Hourigan. Celebrations are being held at the Dawg House for the Democratic Party.

I’m pleased to announce that today is my first day working at @Record_Journal , covering the town of Southington. It’s been a journey to get up to Connecticut, but I’m excited to be taking this next step in my career! I’ll be sharing my work with you guys soon!

I thought I’d have a job by now, in truth. But it seems I’ve had a severe difficulty either getting people to reply back. It’s rather discouraging to try and get into the field for months with what I think is decent experience and still not be able to secure a place to work.
