How do you feel about the Advisory Ballot? After attending many meetings and speaking to the issues, we have suggestions for you to consider in filling out the Advisory Ballot.  We've also listed a number of suggested "Comments" but this field is wide open for you to put in your own thoughts!

We have also included a large font version for quick reference.

The Connecticut Municipal Consortium for Fiscal Responsibility is a broad and growing alliance of municipal boards - ranging from Town and City Councils to Boards of Selectmen, Aldermen, Education, and Finance - who think that more focus needs to be placed on strengthening the ability of locally elected leaders to effectively manage their towns own fiscal affairs. Simply put... we think the steadily deteriorating municipal fiscal atmosphere throughout CT is at least as much an expenditure problem as it is a revenue issue... and know that Connecticut CAN do better!

To date... approaching 200 boards representing over 100 towns and cities across the state have joined in endorsing the Consortium - a bipartisan and grassroots cost-management initiative whose platform focuses on three fiscal reforms that are common to the three legislative agendas of COST, CABE, and CCM. There is strength in numbers... as we grow our ranks and prepare to weigh in against powerful special interests that seem able to run the legislature.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE TO Issue #27:  Bifurcation of the town budget is still possible.

Based on the comments of one poster, we have confirmed that bifurcation of the town budget into the two major components, town budget and Board of Education budget, is possible without without waiting another five years for charter revision.

Updated Again 4/15/10: Issue #26:  We have an updated status on the petition regarding all-day Kindergarten.  The petitions have been submitted to Town Hall and scanned and emailed to all BOS/BOF and BOE members.  However, we've learned that people are still getting signatures.
