Letter: Common practices for all citizens
To the editor, By virtue of their determined hands and eloquent tongues, the founding fathers of our nation set forth to construct, in will and in word, the greatest nation thus far known to man. Not a nation of tyrannical rule, or of self-satisfying gluttony, but one requiring the dedication of its citizens, the... »
Letter: First Selectman speaks on busy December
To the editor, Our first December in office was busy and productive, filled with meetings, appointments, and visits with the many citizens who stopped by Town Hall. As we settled into our new routine, getting to know all of the town employees, we also made it a priority to acquaint ourselves with each town... »
Letter: Beacon Falls Pharmacy is a ‘jewel’
To the editor, So often the letters (the Citizen’s News) receives are to complain or berate. I’d like to shine a light on a jewel that the people of Beacon Falls might not realize they have — the Beacon Falls Pharmacy. Not only do they have a beautiful store with unique gifts at very... »
Letter: State needs to speed up background checks
To the editor, I would like to know why citizens such as myself have to wait so long for our state government to conduct background checks on people eager to go to work. (Gov. Dannel) Malloy says he wants to get people working, so I think it’s time he let the agencies that he... »

Letter: Elks amaze with assistance program
To the editor, My husband and I would like to express our appreciation to the Elks Lodge 967 Home Assistance Program, especially to Jim Desmarais and his “merry band” of helpers who arrived cheerfully in their bright colorful vests ready to work.

Letter: School board rushing referendum
To the editor, As almost everyone knows by now, our Region 16 superintendent and Board of Education are attempting to rush a $47 million spending proposal to referendum. To their credit, they did hold a series of meetings to explain the building project and engage an apathetic public; but it appears the suggestions that... »
Letter: School project is in children’s best interest
To the editor, It is time to do what is best for our children. We have waited long enough for a new Algonquin School and have dealt with safety concerns at Laurel Ledge School. These school projects have continually been put on the back burner. A vote “yes” on Dec. 20 will eliminate an... »
Letter: The time is now for a new school in Prospect
To the editor, Would you want to send your five year old to a school that is severely outdated, has serious mold problems, lacks a gymnasium, has no handicap access, and is needing multimillion dollar repairs over the next five years? Well, that’s exactly what the citizens of Prospect have been doing for the... »
