A Record Weekend For

Coffee Andâ¦

To the Editor,

Boy Scout Troop 370 enjoyed beautiful weather over this Memorial Day weekend while hosting their annual free Coffee Stop. In spite of high gas prices, scouts and their families served dozens of donuts and bagels, and over 2,000 cups of coffee, tea, and cold drinks to a record number of travelers.

Troop 370 hosts the coffee stop as one of their community service projects. In December the troop assists on Depot Day by unloading and reloading packages to be delivered to needy families in our local area.

Troop 370 is proud to participate in both service projects.

We especially want to acknowledge and thank the many individuals and local businesses who helped to make this coffee stop a success. With sincere gratitude the members of Troop 370 thank the following: Associated Refuse Haulers; Bagel Delight; Berkshire Veterinary Hospital; Big Y; The Blue Colony Diner; Cedar Hill Electric; Chartwells School Dining Services; the Chefâs Warehouse, Bronx, N.Y.; Costco; Connecticut State Department of Tourism; Costco; Friendly Service Station-Citgo, Newtown; Mobil Station, Newtown; Shell Station, Newtown; MSC Industrial Supply; My Place; Newtown Hardware; Newtown United Methodist Church; Mr Noie Richards; Pizza Palace; Shawâs of Southbury; Stew Leonard; Stop & Shop; Wal-Mart; The Town of Newtown; the Zoning, Conservation, Building, Health, Public Works and the Parks and Recreation Departments; Dunkinâ Donuts, Monroe; and Dunkinâ Donuts, Newtown.

Sincerely,

Donna Sapienza

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).
