The developer, brings architects, engineers and a copy of the regulations. Seeking out legal experts, landscape engineers, traffic engineers, and archaeological experts only to be bullied and called a snake oil salesman. I was embarrassed by the decorum at this meeting. We may disagree but there is no reason to shout obscenities and threats under your breath. Lets stop the NIMBY facebook mob.
My hat’s off to you George keep up the good fight. Standing in front of a mob is never easy.
I do commend any food or diaper drive. Nice Job. It was an usual political event having been sponsored across the State by the Republican State Committee.
A fantastic example of gaslighting, newtown29. On the contrary, Mitch and the other Republicans in the CT legislature have been continually calling for a special session since you got your first nasty surprise in the mail from eversource. Feel free to sign the petition if you feel so strongly about the recent price hike at www.SpecialSessionCT.com - Meanwhile, Lamont and the rest of the CT Dems have been ignoring this request because the huge increase in the public benefits charge is EXACTLY what they wanted. A vote for Michelle Embree Ku will only strengthen Lamont's majority party and encourage more stealth tax packages in the CT legislature and energy policies. Lamont also elected to shutter the trash-to-energy plant in Hartford creating a twofer: trash crisis and energy crisis. We need to re-elect Mitch not only because he's done a great job for Newtown but because we need an advocate to continue fighting the out of control (stealth) tax policies that are harming Newtown ratepayers and CT business as a whole. - Dylan Thomas Butterfield Rd
