I am a representative on the Town Meeting for the fifth district of Branford.
There is a yearly discussion at budget time where the costs of Public Events comes up. I would like your opinion on the subject as we head into the budget negotiations.

These events include:
      Branford Festival       Branford Road Race       Fire works        Veterans,Memorial Day and Holiday Parades
Currently the current cost of events are budgeted at approximately $121,000 or one tenth of one percent of the total town budget. 
I would like to gather your opinions on the subject. This compilation of thoughts, suggestions and concerns will allow us to better understand citizens views.

I will present findings to the RTM during the budget talks. Please take the time to fill out survey.
Please keep all comments civil. All comments deemed inappropriate will be taken down from site. Dennis Flanigan R-5 [email protected] (203) 488-6439  Representative Ray Ingraham R-5

121k is a drop in the bucket compared to what gets wasted elsewhere. leave our traditions alone!

Branford festivals are the highlight of the year for my kids. Stop trying to cut everything that actually makes this town worth living in.
