Nine units proposed in walkable downtown Branford and people lose their shit. What is wrong with people fighting density where it is already dense?

Ironic that Ryan Fazio, age 36, is a fossil fuel enabler while 70+ year old Ned Lamont wants a renewable energy future to gain legs. He is not perfect, but way ahead of Fazio. Glad my 36 year old is more progressive than his age mate.
Just had a Frontier/Verizon tech out for a service call. His company shirt identified him as a member of the CWA and the local. Nice to see!
John Roberts or Roger Taney? Who is the worst Chief Justice?
robynobrien.substack.com/p/is-maha-a-... Removing articial dyes is window dressing. The real fight is in the fields and we could force the chemical companies to defend their actions in court. The current Congress and their enablers won’t let that happen. It’s up to us to make that happen!
Is MAHA a movement or is it a market?
A pesticide liability shield was stripped out in April, and MAHA claimed the win. In August, the Senate voted along party lines to put it back, and MAHA went quiet

A little floral joy as a respite from all that is swirling around us.
When Rosa retires, the competition will be fierce and Josh will not be in the pack.
The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social · last mo.Josh Elliott just lost the gov primary to Ned Lamont but his future looks bright. Bronin beat Larson which makes Rosa DeLauro look vulnerable. Elliott is a state rep in her congressional district. I’d expect him to challenge her next time.
This month's bill for electricity was 42% lower than a year ago. Will the media be looking at overall costs for this year as a way to get people thinking about usage as well as rates?

Lisa Deane, GOP for Senate District 12: "Please consider donating so we can begin the hard work it takes to destroy the unAmerican one part rule in Hartford." "President Trump said on Friday night that Republicans will not lose elections for 100 years if Congress passes the SAVE America Act."
Downtown we have two pedestrian oriented demonstration projects on Park St. to show what it would look like if pedestrian intersections were bumped out to the edge of the auto travel lane. Better for pedestrians and drivers as visibility is significantly improved. Permanent sometime?
Today’s cleanse is brought to you by serenity and land conservation. As far as the eye can see here is conserved land thanks to the efforts of our local Land Trust. #supportyourlocallandtrust
When are we going to accept that funding our municipalities through property taxes is as regressive as they come? Until we solve this dilemma we are going to be stuck with these up and down funding cycles. Sean Scanlon I hope your work exposes this problem!
Town budget failed for the second time. Next round of cuts will be painful and the 62.5% of the electorate who chose not to vote own this.
Connecticut journalists writing about the Absentee Ballot legislation signed today: it is the legislation implementing the provision we voted upon through a Constitutional amendment question! Please don’t leave out this important fact.
CT politics question. When are the GOP conventions for State Senate and House? Dems are doing it this week. Especially curious about District 12. #ctpolitics
@toddzwillich.bsky.social MAHA is not a brilliant slogan it is flawed by using “Again” and Trump is running another con job.
