East WindsorEast WindsorTownBudgetGoingtoThirdReferendum

By Linda Tishler LevinsonEAST WINDSOR A third budget

referendum will be held June 9, follow-ing the 560-322 vote rejecting a$37,030,254 spending plan May 26.

Residents voted against the proposedbudget for the 2015-16 fiscal year,which would have brought a mill rate of31.08, an increase of 1.3 mills.

At the June 9 referendum, voters willdecide on a $36,709,758 budget, anincrease of 2.99 percent over the currentspending plan. The budget includes

$13,053,580 for the town side of thebudget, an increase of $584,399 or 4.69percent; $702,144 for capital improve-ments, a decrease of $190,282 or 21.3percent; $1,300,000 for debt service, anincrease of $211,858 or 19.5 percent;and $21,654,034 for the Board ofEducation, an increase of $459,912 or2.2 percent.

The mill rate would be set at 30.71, anincrease of 0.93 percent. A mill repre-sents $1 in tax for every $1,000 ofassessed property value.

Residents also rejected a May 12budget referendum by a vote of 586-332.That budget would have brought a 6.25percent increase for the $37,871,054spending plan.

Under the town charter, the thirdbudget referendum is the last one. If itfails, a 2015-16 fiscal year budget wouldautomatically be enacted with a 2 per-cent increase over the current fiscalyears spending plan.

Voting on June 9 will be from 6 a.m.to 8 p.m. in Town Hall and the Annex.

HARTFORDState Senator Tim Larson (D-EastHartford), Chair of the General Assemblys Public Safety& Security committee, recently led bipartisan support of abill that would require a two-step process for casinoproposals.

The bill is a response to the threat posed by theimpending opening of a Massachusetts casino near theConnecticut border that could cost the state an estimat-ed 9,300 Connecticut jobs.

The purpose of this bill is to save Connecticutjobs, said Sen. Larson. As Mohegan Sun ChairmanBrown said, these jobs will include world-class chefs,

entertainment managers, dealers, hosts and many oth-ers in the hospitality, food and beverage and gamingindustry who provide service to the 50,000 patronswho visit our two resorts every day. Although we arefar from finished in the decision-making process as towhere the casino will be developed, this is still a logi-cal first step. I am thankful for the towns who haveexpressed interest in serving as host communities, boththe Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes andthose who contributed to research for the proposedcasino developments.

Several towns, including East Hartford and East

Windsor, have expressed interest in serving as hostcommunities. The bill has reduced the proposal of 3additional casinos in Connecticut to only one casinoand creates a two-step process for submitted proposalsfrom prospective host communities. Under the revisedbill the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribeswould issue a request for proposals to municipalitiesinterested in possibly hosting the new gaming facility.Then any development agreement reached between thetribes and the host town would be contingent on actionby the General Assembly and further negotiationbetween the state and the tribes.

By Linda Tishler LevinsonIf there is a formula for becoming a

top student, it seems to be focus, hardwork and the ability to juggle a busy lifewith studying.

Those are the ingredients that seem tocome up again and again when lookingat the valedictorians and salutatorians ofNorth Central Connecticut for the classof 2015.

A lot of it is just being focused andhard work, said Kira Bourret, salutato-rian of Suffield High School. A lot ofthe drive came from myself, she said,adding that when she needed a push, herparents were there.

One of the keys, Bourret said, wasknowing when to work and when to letherself relax.

In addition to academics, Bourretplayed the flute in the school band, rantrack and field, was vice president of theschools National Honor Society chap-ter, president of the schools WorldLanguage Honor Society and wasinvolved in Wildcat Outreach.

She plans to attend Virginia Tech,majoring in general biology sciences asa pre-med program,
