When the New Fairfield Board of Finance held their special meeting to address controversial remarks made by an alternate member, the member did not attend.  Some residents have called for an apology from David Coleman over comments he made during budget deliberations on special education costs.  The nearly two hour Zoom meeting was attended by dozens of residents.  Board of Finance Chair Wes Marsh says the meeting was Coleman's chance to clear up his comments and apologize, but it wound up being a missed opportunity.  A number of board members said they do not believe there was ill intent behind the comments, and that he didn't know proper terminology.  No action was taken against Coleman during the special meeting, with some members saying it's up the the voters in the next election to replace members.  The next meeting of the Board of Finance is on the 18th, via Zoom, at 7:30pm.
