Wilton Democrats were nonplussed by Looney’s proposal, indicating it had no chance at becoming law. Maher, Denning and DTC Chair Tom Dubin all said it won’t pass and they won’t support it.
“January is when legislators propose all sorts of bills, including those with no hope of passing. Regionalizing school districts has been a concept of Sen. Looney’s for years, but SB769 will meet the same reception as his past bills, including from Wilton’s recently elected senator and representative,” Dubin told GMW.
Maher said she would not support Looney’s proposal. “The strength of our communities lies in the strength of the education system and schools. I am opposed to forcing school regionalization upon towns and possibly endangering the quality of the schools. I will continue to work with constituents and legislators from both sides of the aisle to craft state policy that strengthens education, and will work against any proposed legislation which would threaten it. I will evaluate every bill in the legislature based upon the ideas within it, not on the political party of the bill’s sponsor,” she said.

When young candidates ask me how to afford a campaign, I don’t have any good answers.I joined the Connecticut Association of Board of Education meeting this morning and talked with leading educators in the area about their concerns. Connecticut has problems with rising costs for those who need special needs, as well as goods and services due to the state and federal governments recent inflation. The state and federal governments need to work together to find a solution. Schools are most important asset for developing our future.
