Rosenthal Issues Newtown Mask Mandate After COVID Case Reports Escalate
As of 9/16 Newtown is no longer in the dreaded RED zone. And just barely in the YELLOW zone. How long before this 'mandate' gets lifted?

Don't think I would cry if the Newtown sliver of District 2 dissolved. District 2 is pretty much Danbury.
Do Not Let Redistricting Rob Newtown Of Its ‘Power Of Four’
I'm not sure this is quite setting things straight. Mr. Paradis is certainly free, and empowered, I agree, to advocate for his organization's achievements. It is curious, however, that he chooses to springboard off of a letter written by the RTC to do that in this instance. Mr. Paradis says he is encouraged by the RTC letter, but does not say why. In his very next paragraph, he write "Together with the Democratic majorities on the Board of Education, Legislative Council, and Board of Finance, Newtown Democrats have been able to achieve great things over the past few years." And, his letter advocates staying the course. In a letter you suggest is one of unity, he references his party a half a dozen time, while referring to "colleagues across the aisle" only once. An option he could have chosen, but did not, would have been to focus exclusively on what accomplishments have been made via collaboration between the parties, and promoting his party's accomplishments elsewhere without linking those comments to something published by the RTC.
Setting The Record Straight
Editor's Note: The Newtown Bee provided meeting coverage — not a self-generated, investigative article since nobody from the Thunder ever reached out to us regarding any issues or problems. We accurately reported what was said and done in relation to the Thunder team issue at the Parks & Rec Commission meeting where this subject was discussed. If factual inaccuracies exist in regard to statements made at the meeting, they were from officials speaking on the record at the meeting. More about this issue will be clarified in future reporting including a follow-up in this week's (September 17, 2021) edition and online here. The Newtown Bee does not disregard facts, and any factually incorrect or perceived "wrong" content came from officials and others who spoke at the meeting we covered. We stand by our reporting.
