I suggest you look up the Town's May 2022 Annex to the 2022 Western Connecticut Regional Affordable Housing Plan. A family making Newtown's median household income would immediately be cost burdened if buying the median home in town, not to mention how unaffordable our community is for young teachers, PARAs, cops and bus drivers.

Vessel Technologies Appeals P&Z Commission Denial

Josh Lev’s comments to the Bee about the need for housing in the area..Josh knows NOTHING about our community and is only interested in Vessel’s interests. They don’t care about the surrounding homeowners or the fact that they are overbuilding for the land. Vessel is actually stomping all over Newtown’s zoning regulations. Also, Tom Johnson they don’t own the property yet - it’s under contract per their application and they have no rights until they own the land. I am all for developers that follow local zoning rules and this is not the current case.

Vessel Technologies Appeals P&Z Commission Denial

I'm glad you recognize that even a modest increase in the commercial tax base could help keep residential tax rates down. Remember when we invested in sewers and water infrastructure for Hawleyville, only to have the NIMBY mob push out a modest commercial development? That short-sightedness is still costing us today.

Tax Increase Necessary This Year

I remember when there was talk about building the community center—how it supposedly wasn’t going to cost us anything. Now, just a few years later, we’re raising taxes just to keep it open. One day, this town—and its voters—will hopefully understand that operating expenses don’t disappear once the ribbon is cut. Until then, I think it’s time we start voting no.

Urges ‘Yes’ Vote On Capital Projects

Right. Which begs the question we should all be asking of everyone we know who is passionately pushing a cause, whether it be conservative or liberal in nature, which is: Would you accept an authoritarian system if it were to promote your agenda? In too many places and times to count, people have naively believed that they can allow such a thing but have it only be temporary, just until the agenda is firmly rooted. But beware, if it’s far left or far right it can never really take root, so the authoritarians can never really let go. Randi Kiely
