He's kidding right?

"Frankly, I don't need the $10 million, nor would I want the strings."

This is Mayor Boughton's laughable response to the possibility that Danbury would lose 10 million dollars in state aid under Gov Malloy's contingency budget plan.

This is the same mayor who's was VERY careful not to inform the audience that he giving less than ONE PERCENT increase in aid to education (which is NOTHING when it comes to the minimum amount needed to keep education in the city at it's current level).

With his city budget proposal showing a total increase of THREE percent, bonding increasing by three million dollars, and revenue proposal full of gimmicks such as the recycled proposal to sell 13 acres of land, when it comes to a bloated budget, Boughton should be careful when it comes to running off at the mouth.
