What do John Rowland, George Bush, Patsy Cline, Janet Jackson and the Supreme Court have in common?

Theyâre all a part of Flaming Saddles, the Connecticut Gay Menâs Chorus (CGMC) spring musical that will take audiences to an Old West that was never wilder, and far beyond on a satirical romp through some of todayâs biggest headlines.

Imagine the pathos of âThe Governor of my Heart,â the song of one cowboyâs star-crossed romance with a certain Connecticut executive, or the giddy ecstasy of âMassachusetts,â a hoedown celebration of romance in the Bay State.

âAnd weâll be kicking up our heels with this Supreme Court in a tribute to one of their recent decisions,â said Winston Clark, music director of CGMS, âthough Justice Scalia and Justice Thomas may prefer to sit that one out!â

Flaming Saddles will debut on Saturday, April 3, at 8 pm, at WCSUâs Ives Concert Hall, 181 White Street in Danbury. Performances will continue on Saturday, April 17, at 8 pm, at the Shubert Theater in New Haven; Sunday, April 18, at 7 pm, at the Belding Theater, in Hartford; and Saturday, April 24, at 8 pm, at the Stamford Center for the Arts.

Tickets for Flaming Saddles, at $25 and $30, are available through the CGMC box office at 800-644-2462 or online at www.ctgmc.org. Tickets for the Stamford performance must be ordered through the SCA Box Office at 203-325-4466.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

I want to clarify something that was not clear in my letter. Newtown DOES have an affordable housing plan, put together with the aid of the Council of Governments (COG) in 2022 and approved by the LC that year. The strategies in that plan are to "encourage", "support", "explore", "promote" various aspects of state and local affordable housing programs. Those strategies are largely repeated in the Housing Chapter of the Plan of Conservation and Development being finalized now. Newtown needs to measure its performance against those strategies and refine them to reflect the current situation and evaluate whether we are eligible for a moratorium on 8-30(g) projects if we have met the criteria. It's a question of being more specific and more rigorous in what we as a community would like to see to address this real and serious need, rather than to be on our heels when a developer proposes a project on their terms. An independent look outside the application process would be best for that. Thank you. Peter.

Discusses Affordable Housing

I on Glover Ave. walk my two Labs every morning and evening. Drivers are constantly cutting me off at the shopping center entrance and other driveways. There is no understanding of pedestrians rights. Drives make left turns onto Queen when its forbidden. Most cars cruse right thru the crosswalks without stopping for pedestrians. The Police have not issued one citation nor even a warming for crosswalk violations. The situation is out of control and now a loved resident, Pete, and a pet, Coby have been killed. Time for a plan. The problem is not Intersections, nor traffic, the problem 98s drivers and lack of enforcement. The plan need to create a culture that drivers obey speed limits and honor pedestrians right of ways. Isn't that the job of the Police Department and The Police Commission, to protect Newtowns citizens. This is a call to action.

Its already too late, the Nimby mob have scared developers so that their only option is to use the state wide 8-30 exemption to get around the local zoning board. Thanks Nimby mob.
