Southington tax freeze overturned

The Meriden Record-Journal is reporting that the Southington referendum (on their Town Council adopted tax freeze for seniors) has been overwhelmingly rejected:

In one of the highest turnouts ever for a townwide referendum, the voters Tuesday defeated the Town Council's tax freeze for certain senior citizens by 1,901 votes to 1,063 votes -- or 64.1 percent to 35.9 percent.

Wow - I bet the results would be about the same in Cheshire. A freeze is not a good idea. I also bet that Southington's current program is not as good as Cheshire's.

This referendum was a repudiation of the process rather than the subject.
