Submitted by Christina Downey, Chair, Greenwich Democratic Town Committee
It’s laughable that the Republican Town Committee’s chair is lashing out at Democrats after the Board of Education’s leadership merely asked our town finance board what thousands of Greenwich residents of all political stripes have: reconsider reckless GOP-led school budget cuts.
(HAHN: BOE Democrats “Calculated Power Grab”May 9, 2025)
This overblown attack is just a smokescreen to distract from one clear fact – six Republican members of the Board of Estimate and Taxation (BET) unilaterally slashed funding that the bipartisan school board overwhelmingly supported. The six BET R’s made the cuts. They refused to fix them.
Voters won’t be fooled. Come November, remember who shortchanged our schools: The Republican members of the BET.
