I am writing to ask my Newtown neighbors to join me in voting for Lisa Romano to be our next state representative from the 106th District. Lisa is a fellow parishioner at Trinity Episcopal Church, and I have enjoyed getting to know her and her family there. I enjoy hearing her magnificent soprano solos in the church choir. Lisa keeps this commitment while working as a realtor and raising three children. Lisa is now in her eighth year of teaching church school at Trinity. I know that she has the energy to serve Newtown well in Hartford and that she will listen carefully to the needs of her constituents.

Lisa is committed to giving back; whether it is in her church, in the school system, or in public policy through politics. This defines her desire to serve others.

Please join me in voting for Lisa Romano on November 6.

How is greed at the heart of this proposal? The 8-30 standard was originally established to provide affordable housing for those who are struggling to make ends meet. It's a vital tool for developers who face resistance from obstructive zoning departments—an issue that certainly reflects our current situation. While you may see it as greed, I see it as a step toward progress."

"not because I have anything to gain". Your stated address is directly across from the proposed development. Of course, you have something to gain by throwing any roadblocks you can into progress.

Calls Into Question Road Discontinuation

It really says something about this town that people believe a landowner would simply take a multi-million-dollar investment—one they’ve been paying taxes on every year—and just "turn it into protected space." I place the blame on the sensationalist NIMBY mob. I remember a time when people here respected the fact that landowners have rights. Honestly, the more I hear about this property, the more I hope it goes 8-30 and gets paved over entirely. An action that would be within their legal right, absent actual verifiable wetlands.

Mitch and Tony are currently being chastised online by local partisans for supporting a bill that absent it's approval PURA noted greenhouse gas emissions in the region would have increased by 25 percent. Cant please everyone I guess.

You don't just turn private property into open space. The town would have to purchase it, if the owner were willing to sell it. This is all getting pretty silly.,
