Today you can read answers from Directors Topping, Doucette, Sheridan and Zingler about paying for town services, senior housing, library space and the Manchester Parkade property. Some interesting points to consider:
- A cut in taxes would result in a cut in, or complete elimination of some town services.
- The Manchester Housing Authority is in the process of developing plans for more senior housing.
- The Manchester Parkade is owned by a private developer and the potential for ownership by the town was defeated by referendum.
- There is universal agreement that library needs must be addressed. The Democrats have proposed that the bi-partisan school renovation committee also consider the libraries in their deliberations.
There is also an opportunity to read responses from the Democratic Board of Education candidates as well. This week you can review responses regarding after-school programming from Board Members Peg Hackett, Carl Stafford, Mike Pohl, Geoff Luxenberg and candidate Bethany Silver.
There is also a feature that will allow readers to post on most any campaign issue (once you have created a Courant user account). Please take a moment to check out the site and share your thoughts, concerns and suggestions. You are also encouraged to e-mail the Democratic candidates here if you have specific questions that you would like answered.
