It was a terrific day for Newtown today, as winners in the Nov. 4 elections were sworn into office by Lt Gov. Susan Bysiewicz in a ceremony at Edmond Town Hall. The Newtown High School Choir sand beautifully; our Poet Laureate Lauren Clifford commenorated the occasion … and everyone promised to get to work.

If your property-tax bill feels like it keeps going up, you’re not imagining it—and Newtown can’t solve all of it alone. Here’s what’s happening: state education aid to Newtown has barely moved in years, while the cost of running our schools has gone up. At the same time, higher healthcare and energy costs hit families twice: once in your own bills, and again in the town budget through the mill rate.
We need our representative in Hartford to step up—by updating school funding, fully supporting special education, and tackling the costs that local taxpayers keep getting stuck with—and that’s exactly what I’ll do. Remember, those are my priorities when you go to vote on November 3.
Need to know more? I put the facts, the numbers, and the solutions in a new white paper. Read it at [@kuisforyou.com kuisforyou.com/why-your-property-tax-bill-goes-up-and-what-can-be-done-about-it/]. Let’s fight for real property-tax relief.

Your property-tax bill deserves more than vague promises.
Michelle wrote a new white paper that explains the real forces pushing costs onto Newtown taxpayers—and the state-level changes that can provide meaningful relief.
It’s short, fact-based, and worth a few minutes of your time. Read the full white paper at kuisforyou.com or click this link [kuisforyou.com/why-your-property-tax-bill-goes-up-and-what-can-be-done-about-it/]
