“Gas prices have come down nearly 20 cents in the last two months, but we know there is more to do. This release will help lower prices at the pump, building on other actions by President Biden" said National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard today (7/2)... why should the President take credit for these actions, but be absolved of blame for the inflationary results of printing trillions of dollars out of thin air?
It seems that for the coming year the only thing that's happening is we are separating the orange bags from the non-orange bags. I don't see how this would help anything.
If the ultimate goal is to reduce the amount of garbage in the system, a pay-by-weight program or something similar would have a much better chance of working. The trick will be to make it fair and efficient. Mandating where we buy special trash bags is just silly.
David Ackert brings up an excellent point, this project would benefit the "developer, Landowner, and real estate professional". The key person there is the "Landowner". When Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau was fighting alongside George Washington he was working to protect our freedoms and rights as Landowners.
In this circumstance, the landowner does have rights. I hope the developer drops their plan for 117 cluster homes and decides to put in 132 one-acre homes instead.
117 cluster homes on 20-60 Castle Hill Road while the process of the discontinuance is ongoing. Trudell has said that he needs the road to be discontinued to develop the land the way his plans currently call for, on roughly 40 acres of the 132 acre property.
Is Father Leo is around? He was our parish priest at Annunciation Catholic Church in Havelock , NC in the 60's I'm sure he wouldn't remember me, but he invited me to visit his mother in Danbury Connecticut over Christmas one year. One and only time I used ice skates. He also officiated at my first wife's funeral after our son was born in 1975.
If you have contact, please tell him Stephen Wolak said hey. Piece be with him and his family.
It's great to reduce waste and to push for composting, but this orange bag thing is crazy. I hope residents refuse and protest this ridiculousness. People have to pay high property taxes, a transfer station permit for $100 annually, and now on top of it purchase bags from the town at an unknown price. If you have larger garbage bags in a bin at home, you will have to abandon those and instead stuff everything into little orange bags with the Newtown seal on them for a currently undisclosed price. This is absurd...
