To the Editor:

I am deeply humbled by and thankful to the people of the Third District for returning me to the Legislative Council for one more term. Victory on Election Day is the ultimate reward after a term of public service. Not only is it is a validation of my efforts to manage town affairs, but it is also a cornerstone to our great republic.

I will continue to do my best, to solicit and listen to advice from all Newtowners and to make decisions I believe are in the best long-term interest of Newtown. I enjoyed the discussions I had with the many constituents I met along the campaign trail, and I hope to continue the dialogue. Please write, call, or e-mail me with your questions, comments, or concerns.

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.

Here is the plan Newtown signed on to. https://westcog.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Final-Newtown-Affordable-Housing-Annex_2022.pdf

I agree, but we need to make sure they are pedestrian activated. The ones on Glover were supposed to be by order of the Police Commission, but the ones installed by Public Works were the cheaper flashing light. A couple of extra dollars are worth the lives it can save.

We have been doing the planning work. The State of Connecticut mandates every municipality to develop an affordable housing plan under C.G.S. §8-30j by June 1, 2022, to specify how they “intend to increase the number of affordable housing developments in the municipality.” In lieu of all eighteen municipalities in the Western Connecticut Region duplicating efforts to research, document and analyze affordable housing, the Council of Governments decided to work collectively by splitting the work into two parts: Regional Toolbox Specific, Policy Driven Municipal Annexes.

Great Idea. We used a similar process when Pat Llodra wanted input on Fairfield Hills. very useful.
