Con artists are posing as Amazon employees, calling people, and claiming to need information about their account. Scammers are spoofing BBB’s phone number to do it.
There is no controversy here. Aquarion posted a notice on their Facebook page, and the issue has been covered by both The Bee and The News-Times. I've also heard it discussed at several town meetings. The temporary infrastructure concerns caused by the railroad repairs should not be used as a pretext to oppose new development in our town. These are short-term challenges that are expected to be resolved before land clearing begins for the new project.
Forty years ago, when I began a career in journalism in Connecticut, most towns had a reasonably well-staffed, thriving weekly newspaper. And the area had a substantial, award-winning daily paper.
Newtown is fortunate to have The Bee and should not take it for granted.

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.
