To the Editor:

As the primary season is in full swing it occurs to me that there are some issues that are not being addressed by the candidates:

Why is enrollment down 30 percent and the school budget has increased over the last four years?

How will our new first selectman influence school spending in the future years?

I believe most voters feel that taxes keep on creeping up as property values have softened. We would like some answers.

Thank you.

Yours truly,
