Trumbull leaf pickup becomes election issue

TRUMBULL — Throw it in the bag? Not in Trumbull. Republicans in town have been quick to point to Democratic first selectman candidate Vicki Tesoro as an advocate for eliminating the town’s leaf pickup program, citing comments from a recent candidate forum. Tesoro denies she said she would scrap the program, but her position was the subject of a robocall left for some residents by current First Selectman Tim Herbst, who is not running for re-election and endorsed fellow Republican Paul S. Lavoie in the call. Herbst made his recording on behalf of the Trumbull Republican Town Committee, which said it paid for the robocall.
