The Legislative Council voted to make reductions to the school and library budget requests before approving the proposed 2023-24 budget to go to referendum on April 25.
P&Z Chair Dennis Bloom opened a series of hearings April 6 on a proposed residential community off Commerce Road by hearing from developers as well as members of the public.
The burning of debris in a Sandy Hook back yard — on a day when local, state and federal officials all announced red flag/high fire potentials — eventually burned 15 acres Tuesday afternoon and evening.
Newtown Fire Marshal Rich Frampton is enforcing a “no burn” mandate as the regional National Weather Service Red Flag Warning continues at least through Wednesday, April 12.
Thank you for exercising your freedom of speech. We are losing all constitutional rights because of the loud silence and the blind falling in line of so many.
Thank you for your service to all members of the Newtown community, during the past 14 years. Thank you for educating Michael and me on the many ways to help the community. You will make an excellent State Representative.
As a democrat that knows the value of loyalty and who has observed both Michelle Ku and Brandon Moore at Michelle’s recent event and at another gatherings, my family and I stand behind Michelle Ku. She has spent over 14 years actively fighting for Newtown residents and not simply a few months in order to run for a state seat. I think all the candidates are worthy of praise but I want someone who knows what new families and older residents need. I built our home in Newtown hoping our sons will return one day, after their work elsewhere winds down and during our current retirement, to raise families in Newtown. I want someone with a record of advocacy like Michelle’s but also with her sense of commitment and loyalty. I do agree that she deserves the DTC support but when a party is concerned about hurting candidates’ feelings, there is nothing you can do but put one foot in front of the other and she will do that with her usual strength, intelligence, integrity and transparency.
