Frank Pergola, a retired postal worker and chairman of the dormant Conservation Commission, is running out of frustration with Ansonia’s lack of transparency and fiscal accountability. He wants to see better oversight, downtown revitalization, and an end to the selling off of city assets. Pergola admits he’s a novice in fiscal management but supports bringing back in-person meetings and adhering to the city charter. His goals include re-engaging inactive boards and ensuring the Board of Alders reflects citizens’ concerns. He prefers to remain unaffiliated politically while still offering constructive participation in civic processes.
