Kindness For Kim

To the Editor:

Dear friends in Newtown, our good friend Kim DâAmico is courageously battling a formidable opponent and she needs our help. Kim is a special person who is as Newtown as our flagpole. She positively touches the lives of so many and we now have the opportunity to repay her love.

Please attend the Kindness for Kim Wine Tasting on Saturday, October 2, at the St Rose Gathering Hall (42 Church Hill Road) at 7:30. This is a very worthy cause as Kim will be unable to work for an extended period of time and the proceeds of this event will help Kim supplement her income and her commute to Sloan Kettering Hospital for treatments.

Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: Sandy Hook Wine & Liquor, Newtown Color Center, Berkshire Motors, Club NewFit, Newtown Tax Collectorâs Office, Family & Friends of Kim. If you cannot attend but wish to make a donation please mail your check (made out to Newtown Rotary Club Foundation (Kindness for Kim in memo line) to: Kindness for Kim, PO Box 212, Newtown CT 06470.

Please keep Kim and her family in your prayers and thank you for helping a very special person.

God bless,

Tim & Debbie Reilly

Economic Forecast For The Greater Danbury Area

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.

Budget, Capital Projects Pass: Officials Respond

I appreciate the passion behind this message, and I absolutely understand the desire to invest in our town. That said, I voted no — not because I don't care about Newtown, but because I do. Fiscal responsibility is not about ignoring problems, it’s about making sure we address them in a sustainable and transparent way. It’s frustrating to feel like every year there’s a new “urgent” reason to raise taxes, with little serious effort to curb spending or prioritize needs. I worry this just sets the stage for another round of increases next year. That doesn't mean I’m against education, safety, or our town’s future — it means I believe in accountability and in asking tough questions about how our money is managed. Voting no wasn't a rejection of Newtown — it was a call for more thoughtful, balanced leadership. I hope future conversations can include all perspectives, not just those willing to write a bigger check.

The Voters Chose Newtown

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."

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.
