Stratford Dog Park Architects Say They Were Cheated

Couple behind a campaign to have a dog park in Stratford say a town commission told them they couldn't disturb land and then went ahead and did it themselves.

Maybe the Mayor is having Public Works practice plowing for the next snowstorm!

Agree completely. Libertarian. It galls me that this town's "leadership" has apparently,Read More once again, failed the residents with their 'Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight' approach to everything. If they stopped fussing with their idiotic Gerrymandering plans, perhaps they would be able to pay attention to what the various commissions and departments are actually doing. They WORK FOR US, or so I thought. Obviously I'm mistaken. Can these clowns do anything well?

My compliments to Police Lt. Curtis Eller and his team. This appears to be a good choice that willRead More better serve our citizens.

Congrats on the new cars, our Police deserve them, they look like a nice upgrade to the aging fleetRead More they currently have. The turnover rate for Police cars is incredible, we need to remember the Police are on patrol 24/7, these cars rack up the mileage a lot quicker than the fire trucks or ambulances they sit in wait......

Chevy sells the Impala and Caprice in Police Models (between 27k and 31k) but both have only a highRead More output V6, Ford Police Interceptor has a V6. Not a lot of research was necessary. I think they should just admit they wanted the big V8 and it was way cooler looking.

It will be filled with friends of friends, relatives, etc. It's an incestuous lot up there in theRead More DESPP. I wonder if in their rush to enact a law they ever once wondered if it would prompt people to get up off their butts and get their permits and buy lots of firearms. That's been the end result.. way more guns!

The article should have stated where and how to apply for the jobs. How about it, Mr. Bagley?

Money for these hires must be appropriated by the State Legislature. Time is running out. There is aRead More backlog, and now new checks. Also current pistol/gun owners are requesting lists of data base records that show what guns they currently own ON RECORD. Some of those records are flawed showing firearms that were sold years ago. This is a mess. It is a case of wanting to do the right thing but not thinking it through. Logistics, logistics, logistics. Good luck.

Mr.Eastwood. Do you become tumescent at the very mention of "first responders"? Were youRead More turned down by the fire or police dept.at some point in your life? You act like a six year old on Christmas morning. Calm down,go downtown,and maybe they will let you sit in the big red fire engine.

iamspartacus: No....YOU are wrong! Even if they had safety "belts" on as youRead More claim.....those are not the appropraite fall protection devices that OSHA requires. They should be wearing FULL harnesses that criss-cross their backs (which you don't see in the photo) and around both thighs. If they were truly tied-off and fell from that height with just a safety "belt" on.....they would break their backs. Whose the IDIOT now?

Last night and today went as smoothly as can be expected. I was pleased to see so many buses atRead More Westport last night with people directing commuters as to which buses to board for which stops. No complaints here.
