The notion of giving homeowners in Cheshire (or anywhere else) a tax credit because they’re required to shovel their sidewalks is understandable but misguided. Lots of services in a town are for everyone’s benefit, which is why those without kids still pay taxes which support schools and why those who don’t need police still have to support the town budget.
If Gov. Malloy really wants to go through with turning Connecticut's Vo-Tech schools over to towns, there needs to be, a) a demonstration of savings and b) a plan to continue their functionality. If the savings is merely that towns pay for the schools instead of the state, then one is tempted to say “close ‘em down” but then the students attending would have to be absorbed into local systems. This is no net savings to the state’s school system or taxpayers.
