COA Addresses Free Lunches And Nutritional Needs At Senior Center

Sorry comment was sent before being finished According to the Bee, our first selectman said the following. When asked why he did not vote on any of the additions, First Selectman Jeff Capeci explained it was due to parliamentary procedure, which stipulates he should only be casting votes if needed to break a tie. However reading the March minutes The First Selectman voted unanimously on numerous motions. So what is the rule votes on all motions or only on ties???

Selectmen Do Not Cut Recycling Pickup, Approve Higher Bottom Line

I heard in an interview a few months with a state representative. I'm double checking with him to make sure I did not misunderstand what he was saying. -Jim T.

Herb, With all due respect, I believe you are misinformed and your numbers are out of date. When I was on the LC we were told by our experts (the folks Jeff relies on) that 0% of the glass in single stream gets recycled, and it contaminates others commodities, making them less desirable for these markets. Sorted glass however is 100% recycled. There was a program to remove glass, but it was unsuccessful. Plastics are often listed as "recycled," but many end up as trash in 3rd world countries since China has stopped taking it. There are several articles about this. 2022 Boston Globe "Plastic Recycling is a Myth" for example. Single Stream Recycling actually became more expensive than garbage, creating an incentive to dump it as garbage or reject the loads (a complaint of the local haulers.) This has been documented on the record by Jen from HRRA and in state papers like the CT Mirror, again I can send you articles on the subject. If the goal is to recycle as much of our waste as possible, sorted recycling has far more efficacy than single stream, and a relatively smaller increase in sorted would offset changes in curbside and be a net positive for the environment.

Talks Trash

Another unforced error caused by the short sighted move from a three-tier to a two-tier system.
