My understanding is that TC can't tell the BoE what to do. However, taxpayers can and should start…Read More asking questions! In the past, I believe the majority of taxpayers (myself included) operated on the assumption that once elected, our local govt. officials will take reasonable care to do their jobs correctly and effectively, even if they have had some differences of opinion. However, that was THEN, this is NOW. NOW it appears our taxpayers are waking up to the fact (myself included) that the standards of what was expected, no longer apply. If you're not happy with how your local govt officials are behaving or spending YOUR MONEY ask questions, get involved, SPEAK OUT, and tell them as much so that come NOVEMBER when you decide to vote them out they'll know why.

What they don't get is that the Dollar Tree and Poquonock development are not isolated issues.…Read More They directly relate to the overall frustration of voters. Residents have repeatedly been told that development will produce "benefits" for them and the town and help keep taxes low. Meanwhile, those "benefits" always seem to go to an ever hungry, yet still failing, education beaurocracy while the center of town and other neighborhoods languish with no improvements and taxes still go up.

What Mayor Trinks and Minority Leader Jepson refuse to acknowledge is that people (ALL people) are…Read More tired. Most Windsor residents whether they are on the right or the left want cost effective responsible government. We want our elected officials to remember that they ARE accountable to the people. It is OUR money hence OUR priorities should set the agenda. No more horse trails or sidewalks to nowhere. This November let’s send a clear message to the Town Council – step aside boys a new team is taking over.
