'You know these same people would be on strike if the union wanted it'
A look at some of the best - and most bold - comments from Patch account holders in Stratford and neighboring towns.
Stratford: "Why is it okay for a union to strike when they don't get their way but not okay for a company to lock the union workers out when the company wants some concessions? You know these same people would be out on strike if the union wanted it." A health center in Milford locked out its employees, which has caused financial problems for a Stratford family. This reader asks people to look at it from the perspective of the administration.
East Haven: "Great....they can record me paying my taxes." Media swarmed East Haven Town Hall to cover the resignation of the embattled police chief. A photo posted on the East Haven Patch Facebook page of the broadcast media trucks parked in front elicited this comment.
North Branford: "Why do we just say just 'Sorry?' We accidentally bump into someone and we say 'Sorry.' Wouldn't it be more appreciated to say, 'I'm sorry I bumped you.' I guess it's just that we are in such a hurry we really don't have time to say the whole thing and leave that to be understood." Contributor Doreen Currie asks why it's so hard for some people to say sorry in the latest edition of "Family Talk."
