“Camillo’s proposal is not a simple renovation. It is a whole sale reconstruction layered on top of a new rink project. It means reworking an entire neighborhood park, displacing the existing baseball field, pushing construction right up against the Veterans Memorial Tree Grove, carving a new access road off Western Junior Highway — and importing roughly 11,000 cubic yards of fill to regrade six-plus acres of land.” – Beth MacGillivray Continue Reading →

“Combined with the Grand List revaluation, the proposed mill rate is 10.12, making ours the lowest in Connecticut….Our goals remain clear: maintaining the high standard of services our residents cherish, ensuring tax stability, and funding critical infrastructure through a thoughtful, long-term lens.” – David Weisbrod, BET chair Continue Reading →

The cameras aren’t the problem. The speeding is.” — Michael R.

Jansen, former member of the Board of Estimate and Taxation and served for 18 years on the RTM Continue Reading →
