In the next coming days, we plan to explain ourselves piece by piece.
Southington Democrats will:
Conduct town business with professionalism, honesty, transparency and integrity.
Work with the state delegation to secure the resources necessary to move Southington forward.
Fill critical vacancies to ensure cost-effective operations of town departments.
Pursue open space acquisitions in order to ensure smart growth and prevent over-development.
Develop a fair and equitable tax relief program for senior citizens.
Prepare students with the skills needed for the 21st century by enhancing STEM education, expanding language opportunities and exposure to world cultures, and renewing our commitment to gifted & talented programs.
Practice a balanced approach to taxing and budgeting. Make financial decisions based on the real needs of the community rather than political considerations.
Maximize efficiencies between town departments by consolidating services where beneficial.
Work with the economic development coordinator to create incentives that will attract and retain businesses.
Oppose any changes to the Town Charter that removes the voice of the people.
