Frank , The Bloomfield Dispatch  (Read Part 1 ) BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut, November 24, 2025 - In Part 1 , I discussed the silence of our elected officials in the face of administrative turmoil.

The $21 Million "Phantom" Reduction: Crucially, when pressed to explain a $21.4 million discrepancy between the...

Lawsuit Accuses Town Manager Schwapp of Sexual Harassment and "Fraternity" Favoritism By Peter C. Frank The Bloomfield Dispatch BLOOMFIELD, CT — A lawsuit filed in Hartford Superior Court alleges that Town Manager Alvin D. Schwapp, Jr. sexually harassed a senior police administrative assistant and then orchestrated a campaign of retaliation when she reported it. The complaint, discovered by The Bloomfield Dispatch during a routine review of active litigation against the Town, alleges that municipal decision‑making in Taylor’s case was driven by personal connections over professional ethics, and that internal investigations were used against vulnerable employees.

The Cover-Up By Peter C. Frank ,   The Bloomfield Dispatch BLOOMFIELD, Conn. , December 4, 2025 — In Part 3 , we exposed the financial chaos: the "Material Weakness," the phantom OPM savings, and the exploding legal bills. But there was one question we couldn't answer: Why is the Administration hiding the truth about the delay? Today, The Bloomfield Dispatch is releasing documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act that the Town hoped you would never see. These documents prove that while Town officials were telling the public that everything was under control, the State of Connecticut was preparing to intervene. And most damning of all: The leadership knew. 📄 DOWNLOAD THE OPM "TIER I" WARNING DOCUMENTS (PDF) 1. The "Tier I" Warning (The Receipt) On July 18, 2025 , Kimberly Kennison of the Connecticut State Office of Policy and Management (OPM) sent a formal letter warning that Bloomfield now meets the eligib...

The Tax Reality Check – Why Your Bill Will Likely Rise By Peter C. Frank, The Bloomfield Dispatch  (Read Part 2 ) BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut, November 30, 2025 – Following the publication of Part 2 of this investigative series, a debate emerged in a private Facebook group about the town's property tax phase-in. Some suggested that, as assessments rise during the four-year phase-in, the mill rate will "naturally drop" to keep tax bills stable. This is a comforting theory. Unfortunately, historical data and math strongly suggest it is a common misconception. To clear the air, I have analyzed the past decade of budget data for Bloomfield and our peer communities. The numbers tell a clear story: Budgets do not  stay the same. The "Static Budget" Misconception: The theory your tax bill will stay the same is founded on a single assumption: the Town Budget will remain "Revenue Neutral" ( i.e. ...

A Documented Pattern of Deliberate Obfuscation Uncovers An Intentional Path to Failure by Peter C. Frank, The Bloomfield Dispatch BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut, November 10, 2025 –  In July 2025, Bloomfield's Town Manager, Alvin D. Schwapp, Jr. was  fined $1,500  by the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission (FOIC). The reason? " Deliberate Delays " on a public records request that had remained unfulfilled for over a year. And there are other formal, contested cases like  Docket #FIC 2024-0425  also on record. This isn't just incompetence. It is a state-sanctioned judgment. It is a smoking gun proving what many residents have long suspected: Bloomfield's local government operates under a culture of systemic, intentional obfuscation. That culture of opacity is on full display right now. For five days, Bloomfield residents clicking the official "Election Results" banner on the town website (which, incidentally, is neither accessible nor mobile-friendly) ...

BREAKING: The "Percolation" Protocol Documents Reveal Taxpayer-Funded Surveillance and PR Strategy to "Target" Candidate By Peter C. Frank | The Bloomfield Dispatch The internal records are in. Early this afternoon, former Town Councilor Rickford Kirton provided The Bloomfield Dispatch with a cache of internal documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. These documents confirm that key communications decisions in Bloomfield’s government were deliberate, politically timed, and involved a coordinated effort between the Town Manager, Town Attorney, elected incumbents, and a taxpayer-funded PR firm. THE SURVEILLANCE: The 6-Month Gap To understand the scandal, one must understand the timeline. The controversy centers on a private text message exchange involving Rickford Kirton (who was a private citizen at the time) and Shamar Mahon , who was ...

  Part 1: The Mandate Denied Inside the 7-2 vote, soaring legal bills, and the political war that defined the new council's first meeting. By Peter C. Frank, The Bloomfield Dispatch (Part 1 of an investigative series; read the article that kicked off this investigative series) BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut,  November 16, 2025  — The inaugural meeting of the Bloomfield Town Council on November 10, 2025, was not a celebration of democracy but a masterclass in its subversion. In less than ten minutes, a 7-2 vote by the incumbent majority dismissed the clear will of the voters, a new councilor who ran on a platform of unity voted to suppress the electorate, and the newly re-installed mayor threatened to have dissenting residents ejected from the chamber. This was not an isolated incident. It was the public face of a government defined by a documented culture of financial secrecy, procedural obfuscation, and a fundamental contempt for the very public it claims to serve. I. The Fir...
