March 4, 2010 Mayor Dickinson Wallingford Town Hall 45 South Main Street Wallingford, CT 06492 Dear Mayor Dickinson, On behalf of the Wallingford community and concerned members who have been following and participating in the Board of Education Budget hearings and procedures, we respectfully request an opportunity to meet in an open forum with you. As I am sure you are aware the public has been given many opportunities to meet with the Board of Education and Superintendent to discuss the proposed budget, express ideas and opinions and ask questions. In light of the huge challenges our town faces this year financially, we would ask you to consider hosting a town hall meeting to address concerns, ideas and questions regarding where we stand as a town financially and how that will effect the decisions you make regarding the increased budget proposal that you have been presented with by the Board of Education. Please consider fulfilling this request so that the community can better understand your part in this process and feel as though their wants and needs are being addressed.
Thank you in advance for your consideration,
Sincerely, Your Wallingford Community
