Thanks Joanne- I support Mitch's re-election too. I think he's done a great job representing Newtown over the years. Newtown29 - Mitch and the rest of the minority Republican party in the CT legislature worked hard to fight these stealth taxes before you got your first shocking bill AND afterwards- the democrats have consistently ignored or worked around those efforts. Sending more democrats to the CT legislature in place of Mitch and Tony will look like pouring gasoline on a kitchen grease fire - Connecticut will only become more unaffordable with that kind of governance.
Turn off MSNBC and look at the rise of our enemies while we dabble in personality politics. They would just dance if the 'cackler-in-chief' tried to threaten them. Send in Blinkin and the clowns.
An election day of reckoning is coming for Mitch and Tony. Their biggest failure has been to allow the electric companies in the state to make CT one of the highest cost states in the country. Milk going up by $1 is one thing but having our electric bills go up by almost 100% and hundreds of dollars every single month is another.
Please explain why they would walk over the USA if Kamala was to win? Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin, Xi, and Jung Un and invite them for golf and cocktails at Mar-a-lago. Not at all scary.
"The elector’s oath was administered to 61 new voters and one additional name was restored to the list at the meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk held in Edmond Town Hall last Saturday. This compares with 87 persons who were made voters in their corresponding meeting last year." Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing that.
