Charter Revision Commission Begins Planning For Upcoming Work

Nighthawk Track And Field Teams Host Meet

Thank you for being a watchdog guarding our precious tax dollar. I am horrified at some of the items the town wants to spend our money on, like a $95,000 per year executive assistant for the 1st Selectman and now I have learned there are plans for a $75,000 commercial kitchen installed in the library! Jordana Bloom, who represents my 2nd District works at the library. Did she recuse herself from this expense?

Urges ‘No’ Vote On Budget

Great letter Donna. Anita Corbeil

Says Budget Was Not In ‘Best Interest’

I am glad to have the opportunity to clear the air on these issues. First, I am supporting Ned Lamont at the upcoming convention and have supported him since he announced his candidacy. Second, regarding the legislation on housing, I agree with Mr. Gaston - the law should be written to include mobile homes and attached apartments (including those without restrictive covenants). We need someone in Hartford who works well with others and who has experience collaborating and negotiating to change HB-8002 and 8-30(g). So, now that the record is corrected, you can consider that I am that person. Michelle Embree Ku, Candidate for House District 106

Support For Brandon Moore

The editorial took no position on the budget going up or down so you're reading things into the editorial that simply aren't there. The turnout is tied to the lack of passage, in that people who came out to vote last time did not this time, indicating a lack of support on their part. Perhaps it wasn't spelled out clearly enough, but that's what the editorial was driving at, people showing lack of support by not casting a vote. The editorial did address likely concerns among voters that may have led to lack of support and lack of turnout. This lower turnout also follows increasing turnout over the past four referendums in three years (meaning it is an aberration from that), and increased turnout is something that I do push for regularly in editorials. Any disappointment you might be seeing is at the break in that trend, not at whether the budget passed or not. I'd rather see more people come out and vote "no" then not vote at all.

Lower Turnout Results In Two Budget Defeats

Clearly, property owners no longer want to bear the burden of expenses while the state does not meet it’s responsibilities. Rising costs must be addressed by actions that do not include yearly increases of property owners’ taxes. The state of CT must meet its share of the educational costs, and other costs.
