CORRECTION: I misrepresented the Senior Services decrease from 2023-24 to 2026-27. Between 2024-24 budget and 2024-25 budget there was an accounting practice change. Certain employee benefits that had been in department budgets were centralized. Comparing to anything prior to 2024-25 is apples to oranges. My mistake
Considering 2025-26 vs 2026-27, combining the reductions to Senior Services and Social Services page (166 and 170) there is a $36,628 reduction. The majority of that is the cut in Newtown funding to HART Transit ($26,845), which the BoF increased to the level requested by HART Transit
Jim, Thank you for reinforcing the decision to continue printing these installments. I also look forward to continuing to quantify the environmental impact associated with each one. I will continue to work on the math.
First, I would like to say thank you to Jim as the editor of the Bee for refuting your math and defending my right to free speech.
Second, the NFL uses roman numerals to identify the Super Bowl game - does that mean the NFL is only reaching out to the elites?
Third, I am currently the Vice-Chair of the SEC. It was time for a change in leadership, and I wanted to make sure the committee could continue to grow and to help make Newtown a better place.
The Newtown Bee welcomes the letters from all letter writers regardless of their political stance or how much paper and ink printing their letters uses (and by the way, your math is off). It seems to me that if the concern is a liberal writer taking space in our letters page every other week, the better way to deal with that is to write letters from a conservative mindset rather than attacking and attempting to discourage others from writing. Responses should address the points raised by the writer, not the fact that they chose to write.
24,619 printed pages have been devoted to this diatribe — more than an acre of paper. Beyond the cost to The Bee, with this installment #22 (XXII for the elites), the series has consumed roughly 400 pounds of newsprint (about 2–3 trees), a few thousand gallons of process water, and on the order of a couple hundred kilograms of CO₂e — all to keep re-litigating the same point. I guess I would have expected more out of the chair from the Sustainable Energy Commission chair.
