A Different Kind Of Leadership: Why I Support Brandon Moore

A Note About My Husband, Brandon

Sticks and Stones Farm is a true Newtown treasure and one of the many places that makes our town so distinctive. I accepted an invitation to tour the farm last spring, and—having been completely unaware of the scope of work Mr. Currier has accomplished over many years—I was utterly impressed. The vision behind the property is remarkable: creative, thoughtful, and grounded in an extraordinary level of execution. The stone house is beautiful, as are the cabins scattered throughout the property, each one rustic, distinctive, and clearly built with care. As an engineer, I was particularly struck by the gravity-fed water distribution system Mr. Currier designed and built to serve every cabin, along with the many other innovative, rustic amenities incorporated throughout the site. I strongly encourage any Newtowner who has never heard of Sticks and Stones—or who, like me, has driven by countless times without realizing what lies beyond the road—to accept Mr. Currier’s invitation and take a hike on the property. The beauty, ingenuity, and the fact that this is a working stone and moss farm are truly eye-opening. I am glad to hear that Mr. Currier continues to work collaboratively with Land Use to bring the property into compliance with zoning regulations. While I am generally not in favor of spot zoning, this is a sufficiently large and unique parcel where preserving its current use makes sense, rather than forcing it into a residential framework that does not fit. I wish Mr. Currier well in his retirement and hope the right organization or organizations emerge to carry forward his vision for Sticks and Stones Farm. The loss of this property to residential development would be an irreplaceable loss for Newtown.

Yes we should have, thanks for bringing it to light.

Question About Budget Cuts

Exactly my thoughts, they did some small cuts hopping to appease the residents. There is more to look at, I am glad to hear it from someone who has seen it from the inside.

Encourages ‘No’ Vote On Budget

John Respectfully I have to disagree. As a resident I and I think others do not care that the budget increase is less than other towns . Nor do i care that is less than the other percentages you mentioned. We are looking for a fiscally responsible budget, not just one that is less than those items you mentioned. I believe there is still room for more cuts. I urge everyone to vote no
