The following boards and/or commissions have vacancies that need to be filled as soon as possible:

Public Building and Site Committee and Commission on Aging. Both openings are for alternates.

The Public Building and Site Committee has control of supervision and construction of building projects including major new construction, alteration or extension, furnishing or equipping of a building to be used for public purposes including the acquisition and improvement of land thereto and with improvements thereon, if any.

The Commission on Aging studies the needs of the elderly and aging; coordinates programs for the elderly and aging; makes applications for state and federal grants, prepares written opinions on the merits of such programs and acts as agent for other federal, state or town boards, commissions or agencies or local private groups to carry out programs for the elderly and aging in Newtown.

Any interested registered Republican who is a resident of Newtown should call Barbara OâConnor, chairman of candidates committee at 426-1515, or any member of the Newtown Republican Town Committee.

There also is an opening for a Justice of the Peace. Justices may officiate at marriages and witness documents. Contact Ms OâConnor for information about that opening.

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).
