Considering showing proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections is an 80/20 issue. Also, explain why you would be against showing ID to vote? Just curious, if you entered a foreign country illegally, would you expect to be able to vote in that foreign countries elections?

This article notes that a “director of operations is largely the same thing as a town administrator.” But, the Charter states that “[t]he First Selectman shall be the Chief Executive and Administrative Officer of the Town...” So, it appears that Newtown already has a town administrator. Also, the Charter outlines some of the responsibilities of the Administrative Officer (i.e., First Selectman), for example, in sections 4-40 [employees], 6-05(b) [creating a budget], and 7-15(d) [purchasing]. Would the Director of Operations have any say over employee performance reviews and decisions related to hiring or dismissing employees? Would s/he be the one to work with individual departments when developing a budget? Would s/he be considered a purchasing authority? If not, then how will the position actually help reduce the administrative workload that the First Selectman now does? Also, will the position include enough leadership responsibilities to entice those with the skills that the town needs to offload those responsibilities from the First Selectman? Perhaps answers to these questions (and more) could be a part of the work of the next Charter Revision Committee.

A very Happy Birthday to Mary Allen on this momentous occasion. During my time as First Selectman, I found great joy in participating in centennial celebrations at Stone Bridge and throughout Newtown. Providing a formal citation for a milestone like yours remains one of my proudest memories of public service.
