Balter Calls For Resignation of John Finkle from EH School Board

Balter, who is running against Joe Zullo for state representative in a special election on February 26th, said Finkle should step down.

EAST HAVEN, CT - In light of Republican John Finkle’s arrest for fraud Josh Balter has called for his immediate resignation from the East Haven Board of Education.

“With Mr. Finkle’s arrest for (allegedly) committing over $1.5 million in fraud coupled with his wife’s firing from the Little Jackets program for alleged mishandling of funds destroys any trust the people of East Haven may have in him. For the good of the town he must resign now," Balter stated."

Balter went on to state: “This continuing pattern of abuse and scandal by the leadership of the Town Republican Party is one of the main reasons I am running for East Haven State Representative. The people of our town deserve a Representative who only works for them and will not stain their reputation.”
