It’s official: there will be a special election in Fairfield. Yesterday was the deadline to collect signatures in town that would support a special election for first selectman. State Senator Tony Hwang initiated the effort and says more than 3-thousand signatures were collected beyond the 5% needed to approve an election. First Selectwoman Christine Vitale was unanimously appointed to the job last month by 10 Democratic leaders following the passing of Bill Gerber. It’s not clear when the special election will happen.
