To the Editor:

 I would just like to voice my support for the building of a new school for the Sandy Hook students. Thanks to the State of Connecticut, which is paying for all the work; it will have no impact on our local taxes. In the long run it will save us money because we will not have to update an aging facility.

While this will be a tax borne by all of us as state residents, its impact will not be felt as heavily on Newtown residents as it would if the town were bonding the work. More importantly, it will help give students at Sandy Hook a fresh start.

Please vote Yes.

Sincerely,

Dan Amaral
