Thank you for enlightening us. This is truly alarming and it says a great deal about any candidate that is endorsed by a group that misleads. My family and I stand behind Michelle Ku and her transparency and commitment. We moved into Newtown five years ago. We were complete strangers but saw her at rallies against gun violence and educational needs and other important matters. We attended several Democratic Town Committee meetings and heard her speak with knowledge, dignity and respect. We were able to ask her questions about the process and receive honest responses. She invested so much time in us and has educated us. I will restate “ it says a great deal about any candidate that is endorsed by a group that misleads”. Thank you for this information and perhaps the candidate that has been endorsed by that group should also address this troubling information because who you stand with, says a great deal about you and silence does as well.
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.
