Go Wallingford!

 

We have maintained low taxes and maintain good services in exchange for the taxpayer's dollar.

 

We have achieved an Aaa bond rating!  This gives the Town the ability bond at the lowest available interest rates and to refinance bonds to the lower interest rates.

 

We maintain a bonded debt per capita ratio of less than $1000 per resident.

 

Our schools are improving.  Our talented board of education, combined with the school system's professional leader, Superintendant Dr. Sal Menzo have improved our school system while maintaining efficiency.

 

The Wallingford Electric Division is an excellent enterprise, keeping energy rates low for residents while attracting businesses to Town for the same reason.  More businesses in Town reduce taxes for residents. 

 

Our Electric Division also creates rate incentives for new businesses moving to the downtown district.  It is important that we keep moving toward a revitalized downtown.  This is the face of our Town for a great variety of visitors, whether for business or academic travel.

 

Our staff has acted to reduce blight throughout Town.  However, we can do more.  I look forward to doing more in the coming years.
