Safe Streets 4 All Gets Moving

The screenshots from NAFC's private group show prominent members of the organization naming businesses that hosted certain political signs ahead of the last election as these allies self-organized to crowdsource a running list of businesses not to patronize for the sin of supporting candidates such as [gasp] our incumbent State Rep who has a great record with small business associations - claiming that makes them unsafe. The NAFC official account was involved in moderating the discussion as they banned one "problematic" member for questioning the "witch hunt." This tacit threat to the livelihoods of local business owners has a chilling effect on free speech, yet the response from the organization was to claim that anyone who saw it as bullying was "stifling such conversations." If anyone is interested these screenshots are widely available.

Newtown Allies Discusses Recent Rumors

Someone either does not understand how the state legislative process works, or is willfully misleading people to try to make the delegation look bad. I hope it is the former scenario.

In Response To “An Open Letter From Newtown’s State Delegation”

False. This has been studied since Dan Rosenthal was First Selectman and every hauler simultaneously increased their rates. It is why the recycling stations were added to the transfer station, but was delayed pending the implementation of pay as you throw to discourage people simply putting it in the trash. Michelle knows this, she was on the LC at the time and part of the discussions which I can’t get into because it was in Exec Session.

The Truth About Recycling

Great letter, Nancy! I don’t understand why these rallies aren’t getting better coverage in print and on tv. They are happening all over the country and seem to be growing bigger and louder every week.

This Is What Democracy Looks Like

Ryan, As I stated in my letter, I am Newtown's representative to HRRA and have been for over 26 years. Jen Heaton Jones of HRRA is the expert in our region and is recognized statewide and nationally, that is where I get my information. You are the one who is mistaken and unfortunately gave Jeff faulty information in a report that he relied upon. You are citing national statistics, not what happens in our region. Our glass program is working for those who take it to the transfer station as requested, As I said in my letter, glass that is pit in bins does break and cause contamination and extra cost for cleaning at our materials recycling center, but once cleaned, 100% of the cleaned recyclables are recycled!
