Letter to the Editor: Herbst Administration Helps Keep Trumbull Affordable

To the Editor:

I moved my family of 5 (at the time 3 children under 3) to Trumbull due to the great education system, open space, and low crime. I wanted my children to grow up in a safe town that supplied them with all the advantages possible.

First Selectman Herbst and his administration have made sure that our town not only stayed on track but prospered. I plan to be in Trumbull for a long time as we enjoy the community immensely and will be staying an active part of it. The 2025 plan released will ensure that Trumbull stays a town that is affordable to live in by making sure we continue to have stable taxes as well as obtain AAA rating (which is obtainable for the first time in the Town’s History due to the sound financial management of the Herbst Administration). I did a review of the taxes levied against my property and realized that had the taxes continued on the same path as during the previous Administration I would not have been able to afford to move my family here. The difference in tax increases between the Herbst Administration and the previous administration kept my taxes down by $2,275 a year.

In my time in Trumbull my family and I have grown to love this community and people in it. Please come out and Vote on November 3rd for Team Herbst to ensure that we can all stay here and continue to be neighbors for the foreseeable future.
