The New Canaan Republican Town Committee (RTC) has signed a resolution in support of “Home Rule” that was proposed by an action group named CT169Strong.
The RTC hopes other town bodies sign it after the committee approved a resolution unanimously on Monday, March 8th, according to committee members.
CT 169 Strong is “advocating for individual rights and local oversight,” according to its website.
The resolution was prompted by a series of proposed bills, especially Senate Bill 1024, An Act Concerning Zoning Authority, according to RTC member Cristina Ross.

GREENWICH Calling it “extremely dangerous,” First Selectman Fred Camillo is blasting a proposed state law that he says would remove zoning decisions from local control.
Camillo said he will issue a formal statement of opposition to Senate Bill 1024, “An Act Concerning Zoning Authority, Certain Design Guidelines, Qualifications Of Certain Land Use Officials And Certain Sewage Disposal Systems” that is currently before the state legislature.
