BOE Holds Celebration Of Excellence, Listens To NEASC Overview

Michelle, I am sorry to see that you are also a victim of fabrications. All those rumors that go round that seem so convincing. All so often, those rumors are little more than convenient lies. This has been happening for several years and hopefully we can come together to stop them. Until then, I ask that those of you who have heard disparaging remarks about the candidates take the time to meet with them to ask them directly what you are concerned about. Get to know them better rather than assume. We all will have better representation both locally and state-wide if you do so.

Support For Brandon Moore

He is just another politician, you could see it when he got Bruce Walcz'zzz'k elected. Say whatever it takes to get into office...

Two Questions

This is disappointing because it frames voters who rejected the Treadwell turf replacement as selfish or anti-youth. When I suspect that Katherine's motives were likely because she has some vested interest in those turf fields, which makes it exceptionally selfish. There is a clear difference between maintaining basic town infrastructure and approving an athletic facility upgrade. Library sidewalks, parking access, and a salt storage facility support safety and essential town operations. The turf field may be worthwhile, but it is still a different type of request. Residents can support youth sports and still question the cost, timing, or priority of a specific project. Calling that selfish, or turning it into a generational argument is unfair and unproductive. Newtown is better served by honest discussion about priorities, not by accusing voters of lacking community spirit because they disagreed on one ballot item.

The ‘Me’ Generation

Thank you! Can you move to remove the future $75,000 commercial kitchen for the library? It's a fire hazard, attracts vermin, wasted expense (anyone who rents a room for an event can hire a local caterer), plus health inspections and licenses, etc

Says Budget Was Not In ‘Best Interest’

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?
