Darren, I've said many times that a small scale fields project could have been approved as early as…Read More last summer. There are opportunities to fund the project from within the existing budget. Tom and I both offered to use money from the contingency account to get the planning studies completed. The hockey rink proponents never brought any actual data to the council. The town manager and our financial consultant gathered financial data and notified the council that the project was not viable. A political fight over funding the pension using 7.75% versus 8% as the discount rate was unnecessary. The pension was funded in accordance with the ARC, as town councils have done virtually every year since the pension was in place. Fluctuations due to market conditions far exceed the differences in proposed funding. We have had positive town audits with no indication that the town's financial rating is at risk. The town is financially very healthy.

Keith I think Buford makes a lot of sense. The large majority of this tax increase was caused by the…Read More past council members for years more worried about getting reelected than the current council. This increase was fueled by years of cutting to the bone, pushing things off when they should have been dealt with in a timely fashion. Mayor Delnicki (not Delnickie) who you have praised so much over the past day or so himself warned numerous times that this increase was coming. He stated numerous times on camera and in the press that there would be a day of reckoning in the future due to the cuts we had made over the years and now that it is here no one wants to face it. Now that you and Tom are on the same side it is interesting how much your perspective has changed? It is interesting in your article that you reference how certain councilors have embrace the borrow and spend mentality yet you and your cohorts voted against amendments to fund the pension based upon a more realistic 7.75% discount rate in comparison to 8% as well as an amendment that would have prevented us from taking $800,000 out of found account(savings account) which could negatively impact our future ratings. In regards to the fields you have stated you are in favor of them so if so why not take advantage of low construction costs and historically low interest rates to invest in something that will make our town a more desirable place to live? In regards to the hockey rink why is it that we never even got the facts about what the financial impact would be to the town. We both know it was because somehow egos got in the way of exploring what would be best for our town. Our town is a great place to live but if we continue down this past that wont be the case in a very short time.

Dear Buford, thank you for your comments. You more than adequately describe your views when you…Read More write "Unfortunately for you, you live in a 1%er town in a 1%er state." All that my wife and I possess was earned through honest hard work and we take no shame in that. Never once, however, did it cross my mind to use taxpayer money to fund projects for myself and my friends. I feel sorry for other hard working people living in South Windsor who find their tax dollars have been co-opted by elected officials who think they are running Apple or Walmart.
