In the AFC, the Jacksonville Jaguars (13-1) and the Indianapolis Colts (12-2) are still tussling for that all important No. 1 seed while the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks are embroiled in the only interesting division race in that conference. That leaves the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins and Chiefs or Seahawks in line for the three wildcards bids with the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders actually still in it.

In the NFC, there is quite a race going on in the East, where the Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, and New York Giants all with a shot at the division title and all in line for a playoff spot. In fact, if the Giants win their final two games they are â no matter what else happens â in.

And then there is the Central Division race between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers. The Bucs are 9-5 and on top, but the Packers are in fourth at 7-7. Tight tight tight.

The Rams are clearly the best team in the NFC and it is a question whether or not they have anything left to play for in the regular season. If Kurt Warner wasnât chasing some high numbers, he would probably sit down some in the final two games and that would make some Fantasy Football owners real angry.

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.
