Letter: Out of sight, out of mind
To the editor, Instead of listing the death toll of our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, why not make a weekly section for these men and women who daily make the ultimate sacrifices for the freedom we have. It breaks my heart to read daily the hardships these heroes endure on their return home.... »
Letter: First Selectman issues apology
To the editor, Mr. Huk and the citizens of Beacon Falls: The 2013 campaign and budget season have begun with a vengeance, and only those involved in the process know of the ugliness and excruciating frustration it brings.

Letter: Former clerk replies to letter
To the editor, Since I was one of “the small but very vocal portion of the town” residents that Mr. Smith was speaking of regarding his proposed increase of 169 percent for the first selectman position, I must respond to his letter to the editor. As former clerk of the Board of Finance and... »

Letter: BOE should start budget over
To the editor, I was unable to make either of the Board of Education presentations (April 10 and April 16) of the budget due to family health reasons.

Letter: Finance chair responds to letter
To the editor, I was disappointed First Selectman Smith chose a public letter to voice his concerns on the budget process, well after the fact, instead of contacting me directly. Though this is not how I handle issues, I’m left with no choice but to respond. Prior to the budget sessions I requested a... »
