COMMENTARY: ‘This is the best and cheapest budget’ without harming our school system
For the moment, this is the best and cheapest budget that we are going to get without hamstringing our school system.

Community means being there for each other: particularly when times are tough, and especially for the sake of our most vulnerable members.
LETTER: Fly the banner and display the Declaration of Inclusion
Dear Waterbury Select Board,
As a resident of the wider community and a member of the Waterbury Area Anti-Racism Coalition (WAARC), I am writing to urge you to fly the “Waterbury Stands With Black Lives Matter” banner. Flying the banner in the past has been an important example of moral leadership by your group, and therefore the town of Waterbury, from which others who live in the area, as well as countless visitors, have benefitted.
I strive to be anti-racist, but
I am a racist. In certain moments and about some things. I don't intend to be but that is irrelevant.
