Hi Everyone: Welcome to the blog that explores ideas and opportunies to improve our city. Share your thoughts and let others know what you think. Please feel free to leave postings that are courteous and respectful. There's a lot going on in our town and lord knows the leaders can use all the help they can get.

The topic of concern for me as well as others is taxes. Especially the handling of the revaluation process. As I understand it, Mayor Borer petitioned the state to delay revaluation so that the real estate market had an opportunity to correct itself. What happened after that is a mystery. After John Picard was elected revaluation was put through. I'm sure our new Mayor Picard would not have just not acted if he had known about it happening. I'm still reseaching this and hold out hope that we can phase in revaluation as Hamden and Westbrook are doing. This would give taxpayers a much needed break from the oppressive burden we are enduring.
