After years of service, none of these men are in Norwalk government anymore.
NORWALK, Conn. – There’s been a changing of the guard in Norwalk, and not just because there’s been a change in administration.
Long before the city knew that Mayor Richard Moccia’s reign would end at eight years, Councilmen Fred Bondi, Nick Kydes and Carvin Hilliard made it clear that they were through. All three have been Norwalk movers and shakers for a long time, especially Bondi, who once ran for mayor.
Also leaving center stage is Republican Town Committee Chairman Art Scialabba. Three department heads – former Corporation Counsel Bob Maslan, Director of Business and Marketing Tad Diesel and Personnel Director James Haselkamp – are also exiting (or have exited) in the wake of the mayoral tidal change.
We thought a photo retrospective was in order.
We hope you enjoy it..
