SCAN To Host Bivenne Staiger Demonstrating Watercolor

Not one question about the cost of implementing this system. Yes, there is a donation with strings attached. We've been there before and now we're bonding new monies regularly to maintain or repair those 'donations' like the community center. I think Deb is right to say she doesn't have enough information to make an informed decision. I'd like to know what it costs taxpayers to maintain & upgrade this system that seems to be on balance fairly unpopular.

BOE Narrowly Passes Weapons Detection System At High School

Mr. Leonardi should read my email again . I was referring to the LC republicans who all voted against the BOE budget.

Responds To Walczak

I disagree. While I understand that many local Democrats are eager for a shift, now is not the time to hand over the town’s leadership to an untested and inexperienced candidate. Newtown faces real challenges — from infrastructure to responsible development — and those require steady, proven leadership, not someone still learning what the job entails. Experience matters. We have a seasoned First Selectman who has demonstrated the ability to manage complex projects, balance competing priorities, and keep the town moving forward with stability and accountability. The Democratic candidate’s only record of political leadership is a series of unsuccessful campaigns — in 2009, 2020, and again in 2023. That’s not experience; that’s persistence without results. Newtown deserves a leader who has already shown the ability to lead, not one who is still trying to prove they can. At a time when we need consistency and competence, let’s not gamble the town’s future on inexperience. Let’s stay the course with a First Selectman who knows the job, understands the community, and continues to put Newtown first.

Change Begins With Local Elections

Leadership isn’t about slogans; it’s about showing up when it matters. Mr. Walczak has repeatedly refused to answer the tough questions facing Newtown, whether about his plans, his priorities, or how he intends to pay for them. That’s not leadership — that’s avoidance. This election isn’t about rehearsed talking points or fancy résumés. It’s about integrity, strength, and doing what’s right for the people of this town — not what’s politically convenient.

Walczak is a Proven Negotiator

I was disappointed to see such a negative characterization of Debbie’s leadership. Anyone who has worked with or interacted with her over the years knows how deeply she cares about her staff, the residents, and the town as a whole. Debbie has been the steady hand guiding the Town Clerk’s office since 2007 — through new technologies, changing state requirements, and even the toughest times in our community’s history. The office runs efficiently, delivers great service, and continually modernizes to meet residents’ needs — that doesn’t happen without strong leadership at the top. Debbie is accessible, professional, and dedicated to Newtown in every sense. We’re lucky to have someone who combines experience, compassion, and commitment in this important role. I hope residents will look at her record and continued service, not at divisive or misleading claims. Debbie’s leadership speaks for itself.
