Thanks To Many

To the Editor:

I would like to thank the Relay For Life committee for allowing me to be a small part of such a wonderful group of supporters and caregivers.

Many thanks go out to Brian Neumeyer the culinary chef (teacher) at Newtown High School and staff members Laura Hoagland and Steve Oshana for helping to involve their culinary students to be a big part of the Relay For Life today and in years to come. It is a part of their end of the year school project. Getting the young generations to volunteer their time to help us try and find a cure for cancer shows me our future looks bright.

I would also like to thank the Pepsi Company, Pepperidge Farm, Berkshire Refrigeration and Ice House of Danbury, The Pig-Man of Monroe, Dandy Distributions of Danbury, and Newtown Youth Academy for all of their support and donations.

Hats off to Carl Samuelson, John Moore, and the staff at the Newtown Parks & Recreation for the outstanding job they all did. Brian and his students turned a fundraiser into a Texas BBQ, with a roasted pig, mouthwatering pulled pork, tacos, burgers, hot dogs, chili, coleslaw, corn on the cob, fresh brownies and cookies that put a smile on everyoneâs face from children to seniors.

It was a great day as my mom (Sylvia Frangione), a ten-year cancer survivor, celebrated her 78th birthday with my family. With support like this, year after year, I know we will find a cure for cancer, and that puts a big smile on my face.

Middle School Counseling Department Hosts Annual Career Day

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
