Revitalizing Post 202

To the Editor:americanlegionnewtown@gmail.com or me at The American Legion Department of Connecticut, 860-436-9986, admin@ctlegion.necoxmail.com.

My name is Mary Harris and I am involved with Post 202 Newtown because I am a nationally appointed Media and Communications Commission member for The American Legion. I also represent the Women Veterans for The American Legion Department of Connecticut.

I wish to continue helping the Veterans of Newtown so that they may have the proper information when it comes to VA benefits.

A revitalization meeting for American Legion Post 202 took place on November 8 at Newtown Municipal Center.

It was great honor to be involved with the Town of Newtown's revitalization of American Legion Post 202. In addition to the Department, Senior Vice Commander Tom Flowers, District 3 Commander Mike Kellet, and Alice Saxton, past Auxiliary president, in attendance, we had a son of a veteran and state representative representing your town.

Please let others in Newtown or surrounding towns know about our efforts to bring Post 202 back to its former glory. We welcome new members.

The next meeting will take place in the Edmond Town Hall, 45 Main Street. As you face the building, on the left side, there is a meeting room on the ground floor that holds 25 people. It is called the "Old Court Room." It is handicap accessible and has a ramp. There will be several representatives attending this meeting from The American Legion Department of Connecticut (me being one of them).

In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Commander Mike Kellett at

Go Out And Vote April 23

Supporting Our Kids By Supporting Our Schools

Vote Yes On April 23

All I Ask Is That You Think About It

Let Your Voice Be Heard By Voting No, ‘Too High’

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Melillo Announces Departure To Darien

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
