'Cheers to You and Your Bright Future'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Readers:

"'Whatever your past has been, you have a spotless future' ~Unknown
It is with warmest sincerity that I wish you a bright future filled with opportunity and abundance Damon Quiles. Your story is a great gift to be shared. You may hold the key to inspiring others who have walked similar paths. It is great to know that there are still wonderful, warm and generous people who care deeply and unselfishly for the best interest of others. We all have opportunities in life to make a difference, hold a hand and help to guide. You Damon have the potential, the ability and the compassion of others to support you. I commend the Improta family for their generosity and open hearted kindness. June Gordon is an outstanding administrator with immense talent and understanding of children. She is a woman I admire as she is a force of positivity and benevolent character.

I will gladly make a donation and wish you all the very best life has to offer. Forge your path and create the life you were meant to live, Damon. Cheers to you and your bright future!" —

"Thank you so much for sharing your love and life with all of us. I do not know you, but when it comes to issues of the heart, even strangers feel your loss. Be well, and cherish your memories :)" —

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.
