The City Council’s Budget & Appropriations Committee conducted a public hearing Thursday night on Mayor Joe Ganim’s proposed spending plan that calls for no tax increase for the fiscal year starting July 1.
The proposed budget includes $3 million extra for the cash-strapped school district, something that several school board members testified as not nearly enough while trying to close a $30 million deficit.
Meanwhile, the state state budget process is playing out in Hartford to determine how much state dough flows into the municipal budget.

I don’t know people. I get it. I mean when it comes to government spending, taxpayers money, get what you can get. I guess. But this road/game seem to be concurrent.
Somebody/BBOE members/advocates has to explain how we got here. I mean I recall the Port going down this road in 2017,2018 to address the BBOE 40 million dollar budget deficit that wanted to increase the walking distance to fill the budget gap. That seems now part of this plan to fill the current 32 million dollar budget deficit gap.
When I say somebody has to explain the current 40 dollar funding gap. In to 2019 (I believe) the BBOE budget was balanced. That 40 million was addressed. Then Covid 19 hit and not only did the schools get shut down for like two school years, the BBOE received an extra 100 million on top of their normal annual budget, (I would guess) never hear otherwise that their budget was suspended or reduced do to the closures. 🙂
At any rate, within few years after the schools reopen, with the extra 100 million dollars funding the BBOE is back to 32 million budget deficit, Good BBOE/elected public officials 🙂

P.S Maria you already gave the Port the truth about being on the BBOE, “Being on the BBOE generally has nothing with the 21, 22,000 children in the publics schools. It’s about controlling a 237,000,000 operating budget” and counting
Free Maria,
P.S burn the tapes. 🤣

I keep hearing, ‘we are all in this together” I read a good portion of this cuts could have been avoid if teachers would’ve takin a week furlough, but the teachers union took issues with that plan. Now the Port schools has no Librarians. So much we all in this together for the students. 🤣
True story, the librarian at James J Curiale had the most positive, profound effect on my retarded ass behavior. When she talked to me after Richard Cruz and I drove a teacher to tears and quit/walked out of our classroom. Good Times 🙂
Though I do understand the selling point to generate support. Kids are a great selling point to generate support. That is why the Atheist Christendom hates Christmas/Santa Clause. To get the other half of the apple they would have to convince the people to give up Christmas for their kids. Good Job Pagans. 🤣
