To the Editor:
Congratulations to Mark Lauretti for cutting taxes yet again in your proposed new budget. Us senior citizens need all the help we can get these days.
As usual, every department except the Board of Education seems able to get along fine with the money that is allotted to them, Mr. Gidwani’s letter not withstanding. I don t see the new budget as a desperate plea. Check the vote counts in the last election and you will see that Mark Lauretti is not a man who needs to make desperate pleas to stay in office.
Letter: Local officials stand up for your zoning rights

To the Editors:
Last week, the Planning and Development Committee advanced two bills that would completely upend the ability of Shelton and other towns to manage their local zoning. Unsurprisingly, it was decided along party lines with all 17 Democrats on the committee voting in favor of removing public input and accountability from town land use and development decisions.
I applaud the Shelton Board of Aldermen and Shelton P&Z Chair Virginia Harger for speaking out against these bills. Allowing Hartford to mismanage local zoning the same way they have mismanaged the state s finances would only end in disaster. As a legislature, we should reject any proposals that would take these decisions away from voters and put them in the hands of unelected Hartford bureaucrats.
