Full story: Connecticut Post

With a few notable exceptions, Tuesday was a bad day to be an incumbent. Across the region, voters sent mayors and first selectmen out the door in surprising numbers.

Here in Monroe, Buzi touted that his tax increase was less than the previous democratic adminstrations. Not being as bad as the guy before you is not my idea of success. After years of supporting my party (democratic) I voted for the republican candidate.

And if he raises my taxes I will vote against him, too. I can't afford even a "small" tax increase any longer.
AGREEDED

I agree. higher taxes are not an improvement. And anyone that are in favor of never ending tax increases will not get my vote.

2/3 of the municipal budget is education. Most of that is union-based employment. I value the effort of the individual teacher. But tenure, binding arbitration and the "protected status" do NOTHING to improve our kids' education or the learning environment. America must wake up and recognize unions add no value to the equation. It's like a runaway train...and Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, etc. continue to push the unions as a good idea....that distant thunder is the train wreck of our economic collapse.
