To the Editor:

On April 2nd, the Legislative Council unanimously approved the budget put forth for our consideration by the Board of Finance. This budget represents a zero tax increase while taking into account the need for a solid school security plan, proper coverage of our health insurance funds, money to repair our roads as well as a reduction in staffing in our schools in response to declining enrollment.

Please join us on Tuesday, April 22nd, and vote yes at the Middle School on Queen Street from 6 am – 8pm.

Sincerely,

Mary Ann Jacob, Chairman

On behalf of all the members of

The Legislative Council

3 Primrose Street, Newtown                    April 8, 2014
