Following the release of funeral plans for the late former US Senator Bob Dole, President Joseph Biden has extended the display of flags lowered to honor Dole.
When Betty Presnell visited FAITH Food Pantry recently, she arrived with her usual smile, her positive attitude, and multiple envelopes filled with donations for two local organizations.
American flags were lowered yesterday, following a proclamation from President Joseph R. Biden, Jr calling for the mark of respect upon the death of Robert Joseph Dole. They had also been scheduled to fly at half-staff this week on the 80th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
While I appreciate Mr. Walczak’s message of gratitude, I would be remiss not to express my concern about the tone and tactics of his campaign. The approach he took during this election is not one I would be proud of, and I hope that moving forward, he chooses to lead with the transparency and integrity he now speaks of.
Newtown deserves a leader who communicates openly and follows through on the issues that truly matter to our residents. I have been disappointed by his silence on several key matters impacting our town, and I sincerely hope that changes as he takes office.
I remain doubtful that he is up to the challenge ahead—but for the sake of our community, I truly hope time proves me wrong.
Jeff I am glad you will remain active in local politics and continues the good work of making our town a better place. Your commitment, leadership, and thoughtful approach have been a real asset to Newtown. Thank you for your service.
