Bolinsky & Foncello Unveil “Reality Check Budget” Focused on Affordability, Fiscal Discipline, and P

This article is nearly identical to a half dozen other articles published across the state that I found with a simple search. It was written by the State Republicans not the Newtown Bee.

Who is liable if there is a fire and insufficient flow at the hydrants? The Town, Aquarion, or the Rail Road Company who is ultimately holding all this up?

Problems May Not Be Fixed This Summer; Aquarion, Town Seek Solutions For Wa

Here is how Wilton's elected officials supported their budget, From the Wilton Paper: Please join us at the Annual Town Meeting (ATM) on Tuesday, May 6 and cast your vote on the Board of Selectmen and Board of Education budgets, as well as the mill rate and bonding referendums — collectively known as the ‘ATM Recommendations’. These recommendations reflect our community’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, outstanding education, and effective town services.

Says Referendum Process ‘Lacking Leadership’

The voters certainly spoke — and I respect the outcome — but let’s not forget that a “majority” doesn’t mean everyone agreed. Many of us are deeply concerned about the rising cost of living here. Supporting schools and services is important, but so is ensuring that residents can afford to stay in the town they love. We all want Newtown to be a great place to live, but lately, it’s starting to feel less like “Nicer in Newtown” and more like “More Expensive in Newtown.” That’s not sustainable, and it’s not a criticism of the town itself — it’s a call for responsible budgeting and long-term planning that doesn’t rely on tax increases year after year. I hope future decisions will reflect not just the desire to maintain services, but also the need to ease the financial burden on residents.
