It seems the sky is falling again, according to Mr. Dziekan.
Yes, Zeke. We agree that Derby needs a full-time mayor. That’s why it has one.
We agree that taxes are too high. That’s why Mayor Dugatto has a strategic plan to change that – you apparently do not as all you do is sound the alarm and speak in generalities. And yes, economic development is the key to lower taxes and growing a business base. Mayor Dugatto agrees that support from a team of professionals is important to that end.
That’s why she solicited funds for a comprehensive planning grant from the state to bring in a team of professionals to help us maximize the tax revenue potential of Derby’s largest remaining tract of developable land.
The real danger, Zeke, is leadership without a vision and any substantive solutions.
