Members of the Newtown Senior Center went on an organized bus trip to Fascia’s Chocolates in Waterbury on March 27.

The outing was part of Newtown Senior Center Assistant Judy Thomas’ “Tour Time with Judy.”

At Fascia’s Chocolates, the group had a chocolate experience and tour that included an interactive session in the Presentation Room, tastings, demonstrations, and a behind-the-scenes look into the factory.

Participants also had the opportunity to make their own chocolate bar with toppings they selected.

The group finished their trip with lunch at San Marino’s Restaurant in Waterbury.

One of the next bus trips is scheduled for Monday, April 29, and will be a State Capitol and Superior Court Tour in Hartford with Catherine Ernsky, legislative aide to Senator Tony Hwang. This specific tour will have a lot of walking.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
