Newtown Historical Society will hold its Holiday Open House on Sunday. Although timed to coincide with Newtown Holiday Festival, there is no charge to visit The Matthew Curtiss House for the special event.
Flagpole Photographers Camera Club extends an invitation to explore the ongoing “Newtown & Beyond Exhibition” at Newtown Municipal Center. The club is celebrating its growth this year, and looking toward its first public program of the new year.
Newtown Youth and Family Services (NYFS) will present its 40th Anniversary Holiday Festival on Sunday, December 7, from 11 am until 4 pm, along Main Street in Newtown.
A long-standing Newtown traditio...
Seems like for all his education, Jim must slept through civics class when they were covering Federalism. Mitch holds state office, Michelle Ku serves in our municipal government, and the President, who is not on the ballot this cycle, heads the Executive Branch in Washington DC.
Also, Mitch was cross endorsed by the Independent Party in recognition of his bipartisan legislative success. Jim Gaston endorsed Ku’s opponent in the primary because “Newtown’s Democratic leaders trust Brandon Moore” (clever double entendre with his last name.)
Just the facts.
Jeff, look no further than our own first selectman. “Brews with Bruce” at the Senior Center is included with membership, but according to the Bee’s own reporting, everyone else must purchase a day pass to attend.
Apparently, paying taxes gets you a town government, but having a conversation with its leader requires an admission upgrade.
Unless, of course, the intent is to hear only from a preferred audience. A room full of agreeable voices may be comfortable, but a first selectman represents the entire town—including residents who might ask inconvenient questions. Public access should not come with a cover charge.
