Read what a raft of current and former town officials have to say about why they are voting NO on the Charter Revision proposal to eliminate the finance board.
C.H. Booth Library’s Newtown Nonprofit Council (NNC) had its monthly virtual meeting on October 18, where a quarterly in-person gathering was proposed.
Newtown Inland Wetlands Commission (IWC) had a brief meeting on October 12 at the Newtown Municipal Center to discuss an application by The Riverside on Lake Zoar Association, Inc.
The Newtown Bee recently produced a webcast with Charter Revision Commission Chairman Andrew Buzzi and Legislative Council Chairman Jeff Capeci to inform voters regarding two Charter revision questions on the November 8 ballot.
If you can’t follow “don’t stand in the crosswalk,” I’m not sure “save democracy” is going to be your strongest lane.
Get out of the road — or at least don’t pose next to the sign that literally says you’re standing in the crosswalk.
I’d love to see this finally enforced like it would be for anyone else, but based on what happened last time, I’m not holding my breath. Apparently it’s just their “right” to stand in the road and block traffic — and how dare anyone point it out.
Just a thought:
"peacefully gather against the undemocratic abuses of our current government" "There's no real alternative. The alternative is to not speak out and give in to tyranny."
These are pretty serious claims. Was there any follow up questioning if Mr Villamil could name one instance of "abuses of our current government or tyranny"?
If these people are so serious about their cause you would think they would be able to name very specific examples.
Well said, Anne. Thank you. Michelle Embree Ku is about as stand-up a person, let alone a state house rep, as one could possibly hope for. I definitely will be supporting her -- as an Independent! Who (sadly) must register as a Dem in order to vote in primaries. Ah... so many other things to fix about our system! :)
