Big night in Danbury, you're rolling out the first budget of your administration.
"That's right, it's the first budget I've presented and we'll be unveiling it tonight (Tuesday) before the City Council. We also have a few other large items on the agenda, one of them being a proposed bond for the Career Academy which is the school we are hoping to build over at the Summit. It's a great program and under Mayor Boughton's leadership, he managed to get the state to commit to an eighty percent reimbursement of the bonds for that project, which is really on heard of. Normally, the state refunds bonds at about 62 percent, but under the special legislation that the Mayor was able to get through last year, the state has agreed to fund 80 percent of this project and that helps the local taxpayers."
