Showing Disrespect

To the Editor:

As a former employee of the town and Senior Center employee, I feel I must respond to the last Commission on Aging meeting.

In all the dealings with our former first selectman Herb Rosenthal, and we had many, he never disrespected us.

I think our new First Selectman Joseph Borst needs to take a lesson from Herb. He may not have always agreed with us, but he never disrespected us! Joe, I think you owe all Newtown Seniors an apology. We are not “those people.”

I am sorry I missed the last Commission on Aging meeting, but I won’t the next.

And last but not least, why can’t the Adventure Center move with the Rec Center and give Newtown Seniors the whole building, if they are part of Newtown? That would make us happy Seniors.

Thank you

Lois M. Pratt
