To the Editor,

On behalf of the Knights of Columbus, Virgilius Council, #185, I would like to personally thank those 18 volunteers who joined us last Friday to paint a Newtown home. God gave us glorious weather and very talented people and the owner was extremely happy with the results. Special thanks to Steve DâAmico (DâAmico Painting) for lending us a crew to help with the scraping, providing extension ladders, brushes, and supervision. I would also like to thank Jesse Revero for his help with the paint selection and extension ladders.

We are nearing the end of the Fraternal Year for our Council. Through the assistance of Newtown merchants, Newtown Social Services, and many wonderful volunteers, we strive to make a difference in the lives of many families in Newtown that wereâ¦ at our Gate. Thank you all for helping to make our program a success.

Sincerely,

Mark Dennen

‘Timeless Newtown’ Upcoming Events: May 5-June 21, 2025

The voters spoke, loud and clear that they support our schools and municipal services. The majority vote was a mandate to keep delivering well rated education services and keep it" Nicer in Newtown."

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

Great effort by the those who attended to shine a light on the attacks on Democracy. Thanks for the article so all can understand whats happening.

Hundreds Attend ‘Rock This Democracy’ Rally

Thank you LeReine, for speaking out about this. The list of public servants who are unfairly targeted for abuse just for doing their jobs has been growing. It is a testament to the power of propaganda that otherwise good and well-meaning people can get so emotional as to act out in this way.

Discusses Role As Registrar

While I respect the outcome of the referendum, I’m disappointed by the way this budget was presented and passed. A 6.72% tax increase and a mill rate jump to 28.78 may have been framed as “just a few dollars a day,” but for many families in town — especially those already stretched thin — those “few dollars” add up quickly. It’s frustrating to see large increases minimized in this way, and I worry that next year we’ll hear, “It’s only a little more than last year,” as if that justifies an ongoing trend of rising taxes. This year’s combined municipal and education budgets total over $141 million — that’s a significant sum.

Everything Passes: Budgets, Capital Projects Referendum Results In

All of the referendums deserve to be pasted. We have a history of deferring needed maintenance and then paying more years later. These are required to keep our town owned building and roads in working condition.
