Town Council Begins Revaluation Updates With Sharp Jump in Home Values—and Worries About What Comes Next

The town assessor cited four examples to the Town Council monday of price gains on Enfield homes since the last revaluation. This home showed the most dramatic increase. The jump may be due to strong demand for lower-priced homes, upgrades made between sales, or a combination of both. The Town Council plans to give regular public updates on the upcoming property revaluation. The first of those updates came last night with a look at how sharply residential property values have increased since the previous revaluation. Enfield is conducting a property revaluation as required by state law. The process will run through 2026, and residents will receive their new assessments in November of that year.

What's up with Enfield Cinemark and its movie selection?

Missing winter, Enfield Ct. 

The film, Death of a Nation, (the trailer) was universally panned by critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Based on the reviews, and what the trailer shows, the film appears to be rightwing propaganda.

But why is the Enfield Cinemark still showing Death of a Nation, now in its second week, and not the new Spike Lee movie BlacKkKlansman?

The Spike Lee movie has 98% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes versus 0% rating for Death of  a Nation. I'd like to see the new Spike Lee film and really don't want to drive to West Springfield.

The Cinemark West Springfield is showing the Spike Lee’s film, but it is not showing Death of a Nation. Go figure. And West Springfield has 15 screens, versus Enfield, which has 12. The Buckland Hill 18 is showing the Spike Lee movie and not Death of a Nation.

The question to Enfield Cinemark is, what’s up with that?

Why is Cinemark Enfield running a film that may be a conservative propaganda effort and not the film from one of America’s preeminent film makers? 

Is Cinemark telling us something? Trump did win Enfield about 49% versus Clinton at 45%. But that doesn’t explain it.
