In case you wondered how the recent provision in the budget bill could positively affect the relationship between smaller towns and nearby larger cities, the MSTA offered this opinion to the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments Executive Committee during its meeting this morning (First Selectman Ed St. John is a member of this committee along with all the other mayors/first selectmen in member towns).
A copy of this letter was sent to all of the CT General Assembly leadership: Speaker Matt Ritter, House Majority Leader Jason Rojas, House Minority Leader Vincent Candelora, Senate President Martin Looney, Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, and Senate Minority Leader Kevin Kelly as well as Middlebury's delegation (Senators Joan Hartley and Eric Berthel and Representative Bill Pizzuto).
