I DID ATTEND TWO BOARD AND COMMISSION MEETINGS-WITH CAMERA IN TOW-NO ONE SAID ANYTHING. WE WERE PLEASANTLY RECEIVED. WE WENT TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION MEETING ON MONDAY NIGHT IN CHESHIRE, CT TOWN HALL AND THIS TUESDAY MORNING AT 8 A.M. WE WENT TO THE WEST MAIN STREET STREETSCAPE COMMITTEE MEETING. I DID TAPE A FEW MINUTES OF THIS MEETING WHICH I WILL UPLOAD LATER ON TUESDAY NIGHT.

WE ARE MOVING FORWARD-AND THINGS ARE LOOKING GOOD-I DID CHECK MINUTES AND AGENDAS-ALL ARE BEING FILED ON TIME-GOOD. THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE AND WILL STAY. AS FAR AS THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION-THEY HAD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE SIGNAGE FOR THAT KUMON STORE-WHICH TUTORS MATH AND READING. THE CORPORATE COLORS ARE A LIGHT BLUE BACKGROUND WITH BLACK LETTERING AND THAT IS WHAT THE SIGNMAKER BROUGHT IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION MONDAY NIGHT. THE BOTTOM LINE, AFTER LENGTHY QUESTIONING, THE COMMISSION AGREED TO ALLOW THE LIGHT BLUE BACKGROUND, BUT INSTEAD OF 3/4 INCH RAISED BLACK LETTERING-THEY OPTED FOR FLAT VINYL BLACK LETTERING TO MAKE IT APPEAR AS IF THE LETTERS WERE CARVED INTO THE BUILDING. THE COMMISSION SHOWED TWO OLD PHOTOS OF THAT PLAZA-WHICH IS OPPOSITE THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. THE PHOTOS SEEMED TO BE FROM THE 30′S AND 40′S AND DID SHOW THREE STORES WHICH OCCUPIED THE BUILDING AT THE TIME, HAD A WHITE BACKGROUND SIGN WITH CARVED BLACK LETTERS. THE COMMISSIONERS TOOK THIS APPLICATION VERY SERIOUSLY AND SEEMED TO HAVE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE TOWN AND HISTORIC DISTRICT AT HEART.

AS YOU KNOW, THAT KUMON BUSINESS IS RELOCATING FROM THE SOUTHERN PART OF TOWN-THEY TOOK OVER FROM CLIFF’S DELI WHICH IS MOVING INTO THE SPACE PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY GRAND APIZZA. AND APPRENTLY, A JEWELRY STORE MAY BE LOCATING TO THE LEFT OF THE KUMON STORE-(LEFT, IF YOU ARE FACING THE BUILDING).

THE NEXT MEETING I WENT TO TOOK PLACE ON TUESDAY AT 8 A.M. IN THE MORNING. WE WERE WELL RECEIVED THERE ALSO-THE COMMISSIONERS NOTED THAT NO ONE EVER GOES TO THEIR MEETINGS, WELL, IT WAS AT 8 A.M. WHEN MOST PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GO TO WORK, BUT YOU KNOW, SOME OF YOU SHOULD GET OFF YOUR ASS AND ATTEND THESE MEETINGS. YOU FIND OUT A LOT ABOUT THE TOWN YOU LIVE IN AND PAY TAXES TO. YOU FIND OUT THAT THESE COMMISSIONERS SPEND A LOT OF TIME IRONING OUT PROBLEMS FOR THE GOOD OF THE TOWN. THEY GIVE UP THEIR TIME, YOU CAN GIVE UP A LITTLE OF YOURS.

THIS STREETSCAPE FOR WEST MAIN STREET HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND WAS APPARENTLY ONLY SUPPOSED TO LAST 12 MONTHS. THE COMMISSION IS NOW GOING FORWARD WITH PHASE THREE WHICH WILL IMPROVE WEST MAIN STREET TO WARREN STREET. DECORATIVE PLANTERS AND LIGHT POLES WILL BE ADDED.  DAMAGED CURBING WILL ALSO BE REPLACED. THE COMMISSIONERS SPOKE ABOUT A NEW TYPE OF CROSSING SYSTEM-WHEN THE LINEAR TRAIL IS COMPLETED AND WILL CROSS WEST MAIN STREET. THE CROSSING SYSTEM WILL NOT REQUIRE A BUTTON-IT WILL BE ACTIVATED BY A LASER WHICH WILL DETECT A PEDESTRIAN AND THEN SEND A SIGNAL ALLOWING THE PEDESTRIAN TO CROSS.

AIN’T NO STOPPIN US NOW-WE’RE ON THE MOVE. EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT LETTING THINGS GO-I READ THOSE POLICE REPORTS FROM LAST YEAR. YOU STUCK YOUR HAND IN A HORNET’S NEST-NOW GET STUNG.

OK MORE LATER.

 

 

ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES IN TOWN, IS THE SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION FOR AN ALTERNATE TRUCK ACCESS, DALTON ENTERPRISES, 71 WILLOW STREET. HERE IS THE PROPOSAL:

PROPOSAL

 

THIS SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION IS FOR APPROVAL OF A SECONDARY TRUCK ACCESS TO THE RECENTLY APPROVED 47,250 SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE FACILITY TO BE DEVELOPED ON A 5.39 ACRE PARCEL LOCATED ON THE WESTERLY SIDE OF WILLOW STREET. THIS FACILITY WAS APPROVED IN JUNE 2012, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO CONSTRUCTION OF THE APPROVED WAREHOUSES. THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY IS SECONDARY TO THE EXISTING CURB CUT TO THE DALTON PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED ALMOST DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE INTERSECTION WITH SPRING STREET. THE NEW DRIVEWAY WILL CROSS THE FARMINGTON CANAL AND THIS APPLICATION WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE CHESHIRE INLAND WETLANDS AND WATERCOURSES COMMISSION AT THEIR MEETING ON APRIL 2, 2013.  THE PROPERTY IS ZONED INDUSTRIAL (I-1) AND IT IS SERVED BY PUBLIC WATER AND SEWER.

IN THE ORIGINAL PLAN APPROVED IN 2012, ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY WAS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXISTING CURB CUT OFF OF WILLOW STREET WITH SECONDARY ACCESSS TO RAILROAD AVENUE THROUGH AN EXISTING GRAVEL DRIVE ON THE NORTH END OF THE PROPERTY.

STAFF ANALYSIS

 

THIS APPLICATION STATES THAT THE PROPOSED TRUCK ACCESS IS A MEANS OF ELIMINATING CONFLICT WITH THE LINEAR TRAIL. STAFF IS CONCERNED THAT NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION REGARDING CONFLICTS HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO SUPPORT THIS RATIONALE. THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY IS PROPOSED NEARLY 1,300 FEET DOWN WILLOW STREET FROM WEST MAIN STREET AND APPEARS TO CYCLE ALL TRUCK TRAFFIC THROUGH WILLOW STREET FOR APPROACH TO THE DALTON PROPERTY AND FOR EXIT TO WEST MAIN STREET. WILLOW STREET IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE EASTERLY HALF OF WHICH IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL 20 (R20) AND THE WESTERLY HALF IS ZONED INDUSTRIAL 1 (11). THE DALTON PROPERTY IS SHOW AS LOT 193 ON WILLOW STREET.

THE CHESHIRE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS STILL REVIEWING THIS PLAN, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE HEARING BE CONTINUED PENDING THEIR REVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL.

WELL, IF THEY AREN’T GOING TO CHARGE SOMEONE FOR HITTING A PEDESTRIAN IN A CROSSWALK-I AM SURE THEY WILL APRROVE THIS-BECAUSE IN CHESHIRE CT IT’S THE LAST NAME THAT COUNTS. EVERYTIME ONE OF THE TOWN CLIQUE PALS WANTS SOMETHING THAT ISN’T “LEGAL” THEY JUST CHANGE THE ZONING LAWS FOR THEM. REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER WHEN THEY WANT YOUR VOTE-DON’T WORRY-I WILL REMIND YOU WITH LETTERS.

WE ARE GOING ON THE ATTACK NOW-AND NO TOWN DEPARTMENT (EXCEPT TOWN CLERK) WILL BE EXEMPT. ALL OF YOUR MINUTES AND AGENDAS BETTER BE ON-TIME BECAUSE THE NANO-SECOND YOU SLIP UP-BANG–ANOTHER FOI HEARING. I AM GOING TO BANKRUPT THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT WITH LEGAL FEES FROM FOI HEARINGS. I WILL BE GOING AROUND, WITH A FEW OTHER PEOPLE TO HELP-TO START VIDEO TAPING AS MANY CHESHIRE, CT BOARD AND COMMISSION MEETINGS AND THE SECOND I GET QUESTIONED-I WILL FILE FOR AN FOI HEARING. AND BESIDES IT WILL BE ON VIDEOTAPE.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO TO THANK-CALL UP 500 HIGHLAND AVENUE-BECAUSE THEY ARE THE REASON. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THIS COP TALKED TO YOU OR ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS THE WAY SHE DID-AND THERE WERE WITNESSES WHO HEARD HER- AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO HER. DO YOU THINK YOU COULD THREATEN TO DRAG HER OUT OF HER CAR? I DON’ T THINK SO. IMAGINE GIVING OUT A TICKET BECAUSE “YOUR LICENSE PLATE IS ILLUMINATED-BUT NOT ENOUGH. PETTY INFANTILE GARBAGE-JUST SPITE AND HATE OVER NOTHING-ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

THESE PEOPLE-YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR OF POUNDING ON MYSELF AND MY FAMILY FOR THE CRIME OF GETTING INVOLVED IN TOWN AFFAIRS. THAT WAS IT-THEY DID NOT LIKE THE BLOG OR TRUTHFUL  AND HONEST FEELINGS SAID OUT IN PUBLIC SO THEY WENT ON A RAMPAGE.  NOW I WILL BE RELENTLESS-POUNDING AND POUNDING WITH NO MERCY. AND DON’T THINK AGAIN OF TRYING TO PUT THIS BLOG DOWN-I WILL UNLEASH HOLY HELL.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TOOK PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY TO GET OUT OF ALL OF THESE TICKETS-MY LICENSE BEING WITHDRAWN-ALL OF THESE TICKETS NOLLED AND THE LICENSE GIVEN BACK AND ALL ACTIONS ERASED BY THE STATE.  COULD YOU HAVE DONE IT? PROBABLY NOT. 

BUT GUESS WHAT 500 HIGHLAND AVENUE-NOW IT IS MY TURN-NOW-THERE WILL BE NO MERCY. JUST A RELENTLESS ATTACK. AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TOWN WILL PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

SET A BC DATE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT CAUSE YOU’RE HISTORY. YOU HAD BETTER KEEP RUNNING TO THAT TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE AND DONT COUNT ON ANYMORE DUI ROADBLOCKS-ITS OVER. AND I AM GLAD THE STATE OF CT DEPT OF CORRECTIONS WON’T PAY THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT FOR UNUSED SEWER FEES. WHY SHOULD THEY. THE METER WAS BROKEN FOR NINE YEARS. NINE YEARS-AND NO ONE FROM THE TOWN NOTICED? NOW THE TAXPAYERS HAVE TO FRONT FOR A NEW SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT FOR $30 MILLION.

NICE GOING TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT.

NOW THE MOMENT OF TRUTH HAS FINALLY COME FOR CHESHIRE, CT. ITS ALL OUT WAR NOW.

AND YOU SEE NOW THE POLICE CONTRACT-LESS STAFF-SHIFT SCHEDULE OVERHAUL-INSTEAD OF FIVE LT’S NOW THERE WILL BE THREE-WHY DO YOU THINK? WHY DO WE NEED ALL THIS STAFF? IMAGINE MAKING ALMOST $45,000 A YEAR STARTING SALARY TO DRIVE AROUND-AND HAND OUT TRAFFIC TICKETS. IF THERE ARE THREE COPS ON A SHIFT-AND THERE ARE 50 COPS-WHAT ARE THE REST DOING? IF THE TOWN COUNCIL DOES NOT STRAIGHTEN OUT THESE PEOPLE AND CUT THIS FORCE DOWN-I WILL BE SENDING OUT LETTERS BEFORE THE ELECTION TELLING THE VOTING PUBLIC WHAT THIS IS COSTING THEM AND WHO TO VOTE OFF THE COUNCIL AND I WILL BE SUCCESSFUL

WE DON’T NEED ALL THESE COPS. BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRY TO GET INFORMATION-THEY BALK-THEY DENY THERE IS CRIME AND WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING-THEY COVER IT UP. WELL, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. WE DON’T NEED 11 TO 12 PEOPLE A SHIFT, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEEKENDS-SITTING AROUND THE STATION WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. THE LOCAL RESIDENT GOT CHARGED WHEN HE SUPPOSEDLY STRUCK A PEDESTRIAN BUT THAT ISN’T GOING TO RING TRUE ABOUT THE PEDESTRIAN WHO GOT STRUCK IN A CROSSWALK IN NOVEMBER.

SEE IN CHESHIRE, CT  IT IS DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. I AM SICK OF IT-AND IT IS GOING TO BE STOPPED-OR PAY THE PRICE. YOU CAN BET IF THAT WERE  ME THAT STRUCK THE MAN- I WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED LICKETY-SPLIT.

 

 

BREAKING NEWS: I DID, ON THURSDAY, JUNE 13, RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION REGARDING MY COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CHESHIRE,CT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION.  BASICALLY IT WAS 2-2 TIE. BUT THE FOI HEARING OFFICER DID FIND THE PUB SAFETY COMMISSION AND THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT IN VIOLATION OF THE FOI ACT “BY FAILING TO FILE WITH THE TOWN CLERK CERTAIN  MINUTES AND AGENDAS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION MEETINGS HELD IN 2009 AND 2010.

THE FOI FOUND THE RESPONDENTS DID NOT VIOLATE THE FOI REGARDING THE SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS AND WHEN D WENT TO THE PD AND ASKED FOR A COPY OF THE TRAFFIC STOP REGULATIONS.  THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION:

“FORTHWITH, THE RESPONDENTS SHALL RECREATE-IF NECESSARY-AND FILE-THE MINUTES AND AGENDAS OF THE 2009 AND 2010 PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION MEETINGS THAT AT THE TIME OF THE HEARING IN THIS MATTER, WAS NOT ON FILE WITH THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE.”

EDITORS NOTE: AND IF THEY DON’T -FILE FOI COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT-AND THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT. OMG THANK YOU-I AM GETTING THESE BASTARDS NOW-BECAUSE I WENT TO COURT ON FIVE CHARGES-YOU WILL GO TO FOI FOUR MORE TIMES. OH IT SHOULDN’T BE HARD FOR THE POLICE TO “RECREATE” THINGS-THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME-OH DAMN, THIS ISN’T EVEN A PUNISHMENT FOR GOD’S SAKES IT IS RIGHT UP THEIR LYING ALLEY.

ALSO:

“HENCEFORTH THE RESPONDENTS SHALL CONTINUE TO FILE THE AGENDAS AND MINUTES OF THEIR MEETINGS WITH THE TOWN CLERK IN ACCORDANCE WITH 1-225,G.S.”

THE FOI HEARING OFFICER ALSO STATED “BY MOTION DATED AND FILED APRIL 12, 2013, THE RESPONDENTS MOVED TO DISMISS THE COMPLAINT, CONTENDING IT WAS NOT FILED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION. SUCH MOTION WAS DENIED BY THE HEARING OFFICER ON APRIL 17, 2013. THIS COMMISSION HAS CONSISTENTLY HELD THAT “THE RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE MINUTES AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION IS A CONTINUING ONE AND THAT FAILURE TO MEE TSUCH RESPONSIBILITY IS A CONTINUING VIOLATION”

EDITORS NOTE: BASICALLY IT IS UP TO THE FOI COMMISSION TO DECIDE WHETHER MINUTES ARE LATE AND SINCE THE FILING OF MINUTES IS CONTINUAL-I CAN FILE AND FILE AND FILE AND FILE-OMG-I JUST DIED AND WENT TO REVENGE HEAVEN.

YEAH!

AND THIS APPLIES TO ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IN CHESHIRE, CT.  NOW IT IS TIME TO LAUNCH THE FOI ATTACK!

TO CHANGE SUBJECTS: THE REP-AM WILL BE HAVING AN UPDATE ON THE PEDESTRIAN HIT ON WEST MAIN ST IN CHESHIRE CT LAST NOVEMBER-AND  A LOT OF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THE OUTCOME.

 

EDITORS NOTE: THERE IS A FINAL FOI DECISION HEARING SCHEDULED FOR JULY 10 AT 2 P.M. WE WILL  ATTEND AND KEEP FIGHTING. WANNA PICK-TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME-LET’S ROLL. AND THE FOI HEARING OFFICER NOTED THAT FAILURE TO FILE TIMELY MINUTES AND AGENDAS “IS A CONTINUAL VIOLATION.”

OH NOW I HAVE AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF AMMUNITION THAT I WON’T HESITATE TO USE AT A DROP OF A HAT.

UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO”-THE COLISEUM-UNSOLVED MYSTERY”

WHERE EVER YOU WENT-PLEASE COME BACK AND SAVE OUR RACE. AND I DON’T CARE WHO IS OFFENDED-WE CREATED WESTERN EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION-SUPERIOR TO ALL.  DID YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO? THEY WERE ABLE TO FLOOD THE COLISEUM AND STAGE NAVAL BATTLES AND THEN DRAIN THE WATER OUT. THEY HAD A VERY SOPHISTICATED SET-UP-ELEVATORS-THEY HAD AN ORGAN PLAYING MUSIC-POWERED BY WATER WHICH WAS PUMPED UP TO THE ORGAN-THEY KEPT THE CLASSES SEPARATED-OF COURSE WOMEN HAD TO SIT WAY UP TOP-WHEN I WAS THERE-AND WENT INTO THE STADIUM-IT WAS A HOT DAY-LIKE 95 DEGREES-THE SECOND I ENTERED THE STADIUM I FELT A BREEZE. THE FABRIC COVERING THAT STRETCHED OVER THE COLISEUM-THE ROPES ARE STILL THERE-THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS FEAT EVEN TODAY. THE AVERAGE LIFESPAN DURING THIS TIME-28 TO 31 YEARS OF AGE-

WTF HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE? DAMN. WE HAVEN’T GONE ANYWHERE IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT. THE ROMANS INVENTED THE BALL BEARING, HAD FLUSH TOILETS, HAD ELEVATORS, HAD CRANES, KNEW DENTISTRY-THEY INVENTED THE BRIDGE STILL USED IN DENTISTRY TODAY- THEY HEATED THEIR HOMES WITH HOT WATER-THEY INVENTED THE TRANSOM USED IN SURVEYING-THE KEYSTONE-THE ARCH- THEY HAD FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND BARS – THE PANTHEON STILL TODAY-IS THE LARGEST UNSUPPORTED CONCRETE DOME-38 FEET ACROSS-THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW THIS WAS DONE-WITHOUT THE USE OF A COMPUTER.

LIFE AT POMPEI-THE VIDEO OF WHICH I RAN A SEVERAL WEEKS AGO-ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE LIVING INTO THEIR 80′S ALTHOUGH 60 PERCENT DIED BEFORE THE AGE OF 10 AND MOST DIED IN THEIR EARLY 30′S-THEIR LIFESTYLE WAS SO ADVANCED-WESTERN CIVILIZATION DID NOT EQUAL THIS QUALITY OF LIFE-UNTIL THE 1950′S.

SPQR

THE WATERBURY REP-AM IS REPORTING THAT BOVANO’S WILL BE CLOSING THEIR CHESHIRE CT STORE AFTER 50 YEARS OF BUSINESS.

CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS.

CLICK HERE FOR THE 411 ON SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES WHICH I HEARD IS A FRONTRUNNER-AT LEAST THE TENSIONED STRUCTURE IDEA IS-MAYBE NOT SPRUNG ITSELF-FOR THE COVERING ON THE POOL. I HAVE BEEN IN THESE STRUCTURES MANY TIMES AND THEY LAST-THEY ARE BUILT IN ALBERTA CANADA AND LET’S FACE IT -THE WINTER’S THERE ARE HARSH AND WINDY. THIS COMPANY HAS 112,000 STRUCTURES IN OVER 96 COUNTRIES AND HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS OVER 150 YEARS.  THEY ALSO DO BUSINESS AS “ABSOLUTE FABRICS” IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE PRODUCT HAS AN INDEFINITE LIFE SPAN AND A 20 YEAR GUARANTEE ON THE FRAME AND 30 YEAR GUARANTEE ON THE MEMBRANE.

 

OK, I DID ATTEND THE PLAN AND ZONING MEETING IN CHESHIRE CT WHERE THE ZONE CHANGE APPLICATION WAS DISCUSSED

AND ANOTHER ENTRANCE FOR DALTON ENTERPRISES TO MAKE WAY FOR THE LINEAR TRAIL WAS ALSO TAKEN UP. BOTH WERE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP FOR BOTH ISSUES.

I WILL DISCUSS THIS ON TUESDAY.

IN THE MEANTIME, THERE IS A  DOCUMENTARY FOR HBO AS BEING PROMOTED BY THE PRESS, WILL AIR ON JULY 22. IT IS ABOUT THE PETIT HOME INVASION. AND  IN AN UNCANNY TURN OF EVENTS-I CAN’T  EVEN WATCH IT-I DON’T GET HBO.

AND OF COURSE, NO ONE FROM THE TOWN GOVERNMENT OF CHESHIRE, CT WOULD GO ON CAMERA. THEY JUST KEEP WAITING FOR THIS TO GO AWAY. HINT: IT WON’T. THE CURRENT POLICE CHIEF DECLINED TO COMMENT SAYING “THE POLICE HAVE SUFFERED ENOUGH.” WELL I THINK THE PETIT AND HAWKE FAMILY AND THE RESIDENTS OF CHESHIRE HAVE SUFFERED ALSO AND DESERVE HONEST ANSWERS.

OK? THAT SAYS IT ALL ABOUT CHESHIRE, CT DOESN’T IT? WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO LEARN IN THIS TOWN TO STOP HAVING A FEW CONTROL THE ACTIONS OF MANY? WHEN? I WILL DEAD HONEST.  YOU KNOW WHY THAT STATEMENT WAS MADE BY THE POLICE CHIEF? BECAUSE A FEW PEOPLE PREVENTED COMPETENT PEOPLE FROM DOING THEIR JOBS IN PLAIN ENGLISH AND THESE PEOPLE CONTROL ALL OF THEIR ACTIONS-ALL OF THEM.  DO WHAT THEY WANT OR THEY FACE CONSEQUENCES. I KNOW HOW CHESHIRE WORKS-I HAVE LIVED HERE ALMOST 30 YEARS.

DO YOU THINK THESE COPS-WHO DID ARRIVE MINUTES AFTER 9:30 A.M. BECAUSE AS I STATED IN PREVIOUS POSTS, I HAD WITNESSES WHO SAW THEM, WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED TO GO IN THAT HOUSE AND HELP THESE PEOPLE? OF COURSE THEY WOULD HAVE. BUT SADLY, AND THIS IS MY OPINION-CHESHIRE IS ALL ABOUT IMAGE. DON’T BLAME THESE COPS-NO. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO SHOULD ROT IN HELL-AND IT ISN’T THE COPS.  GOD ALMIGHTY IS IMAGE WORTH SOMEONES LIFE? I GUESS SO. I DON’T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY PEOPLE MAKE-HAVING TO HOLD YOUR OPINION OR LOSE YOUR JOB IS A JOB NOT WORTH HAVING.

IF YOU LISTEN TO THAT OLD PRESS CONFERENCE FROM 2007 GIVEN BY THE STATE POLICE SPOKESPERSON YOU DO HEAR A CONTRADICTION. FIRST THE SPOKESPERSON SAYS THE POLICE WERE MADE AWARE OF A SUSPICIOUS INCIDENT AT THE BANK AROUND 9:30–THE POLICE RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY TO THE BANK AN THE HOUSE WHICH WAS ON FIRE. WELL THE FIRE CALL DIDN’T COME IN UNTIL A LITTLE AFTER 10 A.M. SO, IF THE POLICE RESPONDED TO THE BANK AND HOUSE RIGHT AFTER THEY WERE MADE AWARE AROUND 9:30 A.M., SOMETHING DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.

LOOK, MY WITNESS WHO WAS PICKING UP HER MOTHER TO GO TO THE DOCTOR’S THAT DAY ON HIGGINS ROAD, SAW POLICE RESPOND AROUND 9:35 TO 9:40 AM. THE FIRE CALL CAME IN AROUND 10:05 A.M. THERE WASN’T THAT MUCH TIME FOR THE POLICE TO DO ANYTHING. I DO AGREE WITH PEOPLE THAT THE POLICE SHOULD HAVE KEPT MRS. PETIT AT THE BANK-AT THAT POINT THE TWO PERPETRATORS WERE SEPARATED. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO KEEP AN IMAGE-SO EVERYONE WILL THINK HOW IDYLLIC LIFE HERE IN CHESHIRE, CT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THE POLICE TO DO?

WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE BOSTON BOMBER CAME TO CHESHIRE CT INSTEAD OF WATERTOWN MASS? WOULD THESE PEOPLE WHO CONTROL THIS TOWN STILL WANT THE “IMAGE.” DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS BLOG HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL THESE YEARS AND HAS BEEN GETTING GRIEF FOR. TELL THE TRUTH-ADMIT WRONGS-PEOPLE WANT AND DESERVE THE TRUTH. I WOULD HAVE MADE A STATEMENT TO THE FILMMAKERS SAYING THAT BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVED AT THAT TIME, THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS WERE TAKEN. THE EVENT DID NOT LAST THAT LONG-LIKE 20 MINUTES. IT WASN’T A STANDOFF. I DEFENDEDTHE POLICE DEPT- AND I GET GRIEF-GIVE THE GRIEF TO THE SELFISH FEW WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES.

BUT THE ONLY WAY THIS IMAGE THING WILL END IS IF THE POLICE ARE ALLOWED TO DO THEIR JOB AND TAKE ACTION WHEN THEY HAVE TO-NEVER MIND THE GOD DAMN PERFECT IMAGE CRAP. THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO ALL THESE YEARS WITH UTH. SO WHAT IF THINGS AREN’T PERFECT AND THEY GO WRONG? THAT IS LIFE. LOOK, GILFORD NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS A HIGHER PER CAPITAL HOUSE BREAK IN RATE THAN BPT CT FOR GOD SAKES. THEY ADMIT IT-PEOPLE ARE BUILDING AND SELLING HOMES AND THE POPULATION IS GOING UP NOT DOWN. TALK ABOUT IMAGE-THIS IS A RESORT AREA FOR GOD’S SAKE-AND THEY LAY IT ON THE LINE AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS. WE DESERVE THAT HERE IN CHESHIRE, CT. THE HELL WITH THESE PEOPLE-EVERYTHING HAS BE PERFECT SO THEY CAN SELL OR BUILD A HOUSE? NO PLACE IS PERFECT-GET OVER IT NOW.

THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE TOLD TO DO AND IT WAS SAD.  SOME OF THESE COPS SHOULD REMEMBER I GOT A MAJOR NEWSPAPER TO CHANGE THEIR TIMELINE BECAUSE OF MY WITNESSES WHO WERE DEAD ON ACCURATE.  THEY SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED THAT LAST JULY.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.

 

UPDATE: THE MAYOR OF DANBURY FIRED THE POLICE OFFICER WHOSE VOICE COULD BE HEARD ON AUDIO TAPE THREATENING THE MAN DURING A TRAFFIC STOP. THIS PERSON HE THREATENED WAS ALLEGEDLY DRIVING INTOXICATED DURING A SNOW STORM AND WAS AN UNDOCUMENTED ALIEN.

THE ONE THAT THREATENED ME (AND THERE ARE TWO WITNESSES) WHO HEARD HER-IS STILL EMPLOYED BY THE CHESHIRE, CT POLICE DEPT. WHY? BECAUSE THE AUDIO PORTION OF THE DASH CAM WAS “MISSING.” UNBELIEVEABLE. TALK ABOUT BULLYING, THIS ARE THE LENGTHS THE FEW PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY RUN THIS TOWN WILL GO TO -TO ENSURE YOU DON’T GET TOLD THINGS THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT-OR TRY TO EXPRESS OPINIONS THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN-THEY WILL USE THE POLICE, ORDINARY CITIZENS, ANY TACTIC TO GET THEIR WAY.

WELL GUESS WHAT-SO WILL I.

I READ ABOUT SOME BULLYING ISSUES AT SCHOOLS IN CHESHIRE, CT. WELL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, BULLYING IS AN AGE OLD PROBLEM. THE STRONG-OR THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY HIDE BEHIND A BADGE AND USE  NAMES LIKE ANONYMOUS ,MOPEDRIDER OR REALIST, WILL ALWAYS TRY TO INTIMIDATE-AND THE PERSON COULD BE AN ADULT OR A CHILD. I KNOW HOW THESE PEOPLE FEEL BECAUSE BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE-I DON’T COWER TO ANYONE-BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE TO AND I DON’T MOVE OUT OF TOWN  AND STOP THIS BLOG UNTIL I AM DAMN GOOD AND READY. AND THEY– AND THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE-WILL PAY-ARE PAYING AND WILL CONTINUE TO PAY AND IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE-IT IS UP TO THEM. THE BALL IS IN THEIR COURT.

I REMEMBER YEARS AGO MY MOM TELLING ME ABOUT HER SISTER BEING BULLIED IN SCHOOL -AND THIS WAS IN THE LATE 1930′S AND EARLY 40′S. MY MOM SAID SHE WAS IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL WHICH IS NOW CALLED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THIS GIRL KEPT TEASING AND HITTING HER SISTER. NOW MY MOM’S SISTER AND THE GIRL DOING THE BULLYING WERE THREE YEARS OLDER THAN SHE BUT IT DIDN’T MATTER.  MY MOM SAID HER PARENTS WENT TO THE SCHOOL AND TRIED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL.

WELL, I GUESS ONE DAY, MY MOM SAW THE BULLY GOING UP THE STAIRS TO THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE SCHOOL. MY MOM SAID SHE RAN UP AHEAD OF THE GIRL AND WHEN SHE GOT TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS-SHE KICKED THE GIRL AS HARD  AS SHE COULD AND KNOCKED HER DOWN THE STAIRS-MY MOM SAID THAT ENDED THE ENTIRE SITUATION FOR GOOD. OF COURSE, THINGS WERE DIFFERENT THEN. PEOPLE TOOK THEIR LUMPS AND MOVED ON IN FACT, WHEN MY COUSIN WAS GETTING MARRIED-I WAS AT THE BRIDAL SHOWER AND MY MOM SAID-”YOU SEE THAT WOMAN OVER THERE-THAT WAS THE “GIRL” I KICKED DOWN THE STAIRS.”

 

ANYWAY, ON MONDAY, JUNE 10, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IS CONDUCTING A PUBLIC HEARING  AT 7:30 P.M. IN CHESHIRE, CT TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS AT THE TOWN HALL, ON THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 30, SCHEDULE A OF THE CHESHIRE, CT ZONING REGULATIONS BUILDING HEIGHT LIMITS FOR WAREHOUSE AND WHOLESALE BUSINESSES TO INDUSTRIAL ZONES.

I HAVE SOME INFORMATION ON THIS REQUEST. I WILL POST IT HERE.

PROPOSAL

 

THIS APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED TO AMEND SECTION 30, SCHEDULE A OF THE ZONING REGULATIONS TO INCLUDE NEW SECTION 59, B THAT WOULD PERMIT WAREHOUSING, WHOLESALE BUSINESS AND WHOLESALE BUSINESS WAREHOUSING TO HAVE BUILDING HEIGHTS THAT COULD BE INCREASED TO ONE HUNDRED (100) FEET BY SPECIAL PERMIT WHEN, AND IF THE COMMISSION FINDS THAT HEIGHT OF A PROPOSED BUILDING IS APPROPRIATE IN RELATION TO THE NEIGHBORING AREAS IN WHICH IT IS LOCATED.

THE EXISTING REGULATIONS PERMIT WAREHOUSING, WHOLESALE BUSINESS AND WHOLESALE BUSINESS WAREHOUSING IN THE COMMERICAL (C-3) AND INDUSTRIAL (1-1) DISTRICTS BY SPECIAL PERMIT, AND IN THE INDUSTRIAL 2 (1-2) DISTRICT BY SITE PLAN. SECTION 32, SCHEDULE B OF THE EXISTING REGULATIONS LIMITS BUILDING HEIGHTS TO 50 FEET IN THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS WITH A PROVISION THAT THEY MAY BE INCREASED UP TO 65 FEET IF BUILDINGS ARE SETBACK IN ALL DIRECTIONS BY AN ADDITIONAL BY 2 FEET FOR EACH 1 FOOT OF ADDITIONAL HEIGHT OVER 50 FEET. THE BUILDING HEIGH IN THE C-3 ZONE CANNOT EXCEED 40 FEET.

THE PROPOSED REGULATION SEEKS AN INCREASE UP TO 100 FEET ONLY IN THE 1-1 AND 1-2 DISTRICTS AND WOULD REQUIRE THE SAME ADDITIONAL SETBACKS OF 2 FEET IN EVERY DIRECTION FOR EVERY 1 FOOT OF ADDITIONAL HEIGHT UP TO 65 FEET, AND AN ADDITIONAL SETBACK OF 1 FOOT IN EVERY DIRECTION FOR EVERY FOOT OF ADDITIONAL HEIGHT UP TO 100 FEET, WITH INCREASES ABOVE 65 FEET SUBJECT TO SPECIAL PERMIT REVIEW UNDER SECTION 40 OF THE ZONING REGULATIONS.

STAFF ANALYSIS

 

THE PROPOSED REGULATION REFERS TO “INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS AND ADVANCEMENTS” THAT REQUIRE HGIHER BUILDING HEIGHTS TO ACCOMMODATE THESE ADVANCEMENTS. THE ESSENCE OF THIS APPLICAITON IS TO ENABLE THE APPLICANT, AND BY EXTENSION OTHER WAREHOUSE USERS IN THE 1-1 AND 1-2 ZONES THE ABILITY TO EXPAND AND AUTOMATE THEIR FACILITIES USING THE LATEST INNOVATIONS IN WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION. THIS INFRASTRUCTURE CREATES EFFICIENCY THROUGH VERTICAL, RATHER THAN HORIZONTAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDINGS. THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED SOME ARTICLES THAT GIVE A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THESE INNOVATIONS.

SECTION 40.1 OF THE SPECIAL PERMIT REGULATIONS PROVIDES FOR REVIEW OF THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDINGS WHEN IT STATES THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN USES THAT “WOULD BE APPROPRIATE—IF CONTROLLED AS TO NUMBER, AREA , LOCATION, OR RELATION TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO AS TO PROMOTE THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, WELFARE, ORDER, COMFORD, CONVENIENCE, APPEARANCE, PROSPERITY, OR GENERAL WELFARE.” THIS AUTHORITY IS REINFORCED IN SECTION 40.4.4 WHICH REQUIRES THAT THE COMMISSION TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE LOCATION,HEIGHT, ARRANGEMENT, DESIGN, AND NATURE OF ANY EXISTING AND/OR PROPOSED BUILDING AND APPURTENANCE AND AGAIN IN SECTION 40.4.7 THT REQUIRES THE COMMISSION TO CONSIDER THE NATURE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE PROPOSED USE AND ITS FEATURES AND APPEARANCE WILL BE IN HARMONY WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, INCLUDING THE EFFECT UPON PROPERTY VALUES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.”

EVEN WITH THE EXISTING LANGUAGE WITHIN THE SPECIAL PERMIT REGULATIONS, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE BE INSERTED INTO THE PROPOSED REGULATION THAT REQUIRES AN APPLICANT TO INLCUDE DESIGN FEATURES OF THE 100-FOOT FACADE THAT REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR A MONOLITHIC DESIGN THAT WOULD RESULT IN AN UNATTRACTIVE BUILDING. DESIGN CHOICES COULD INCLUDE TEXTURED FINISHES, THE USE OF EARTH TONES, ARTICULATIONS, AND OTHER DESIGN CHOICES THAT WILL IMPROVE THE AESTHETICS OF  A STRUCTURE.

STAFF ALSO MET WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE APPLICANT TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL FIRE SAFETY CONCERNS FOR A BUILDING OF THE PROPOSED HEIGHTS. THE DEPARTMENT WAS GENERALLY SATISFIED THAT ADEQUATE LIFE SAFETY PROTECTION COULD BE PROVIDED, BUT REQUESTS THAT LANGUAGE BE INSERTED INTO THE PROPOSED REGULATION TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE NEED TO SATISFY SITE SPECIFIC CONCERNS PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A SPECIAL PERMIT. THE COMMISSION SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE OCCUPANCY OF THE UPPER LEVELS OF ANY PROPOSED BUILDINGS, EXCEPT FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF EQUIPMENT AND UTILITIES.

STAFF HAS NOTIFIED THE APPLICANT OF OUR CONCERNS ON AESTHETICS AND FIRE SAFETY AND HAS REQUESTED PROPOSED LANGUAGE TO BE REVIEWED DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. IT IS OUR RECOMMENDATON THAT THE HEARING REMAIN OPEN TO ALLOW STAFF AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE.

STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE 2002 CHESHIRE PLAN OF CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT AND TAKES NOTE OF TWO ITEMS OF THE COMMUNITY GOALS SECTION WHICH READ AS FOLLOWS:

ITEM 4. INDUSTRIAL GOALS: TO PROVIDE FOR AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF INDUSTRIALLY ZONED LAND AND ENCOURAGE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, RESIDENTIAL GROWTH AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES. FURTHER TO GIVE SUPPORT TO AND ENABLE EXISTING INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES TO EXPAND IN TOWN.

ITEM 8. GENERAL APPEARANCE GOALS: TO IMPLEMENT THE CHESHIRE BEAUTIFICATION PLAN WHENEVER FEASIBLE. TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT THAT CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND THAT IMPROVES THE OVERALL AESTHETICS OF THE COMMUNITY.

IT IS STAFF’S OPINION THAT THE REGULATION DOES NOT RESULT IN ANY SPECIFIC CONFLICT WITH THE 2002 PLAN, ESPECIALLY IF IT INCLUDES THE LANGUAGE ON DESIGN AND FIRE SAFETY. ALL SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS WOULD BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL REVIEWS BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WOULD BE REVIEWED THROUGH PUBLIC HEARINGS.

 

 

I KNOW IT IS ALMOST SUMMER-BUT HERE IS A REAL GOOD TIME LAPSE VIDEO-VERY SHORT-OF “MONTREAL IN WINTER” – (MONTREAL-L’HIVER). IN WINTER-IT GETS DARK AROUND 3:30 3:45 P.M. BUT IN SUMMER, IN GETS DARK AT 10 P.M. THERE ARE OVER 500,000 COLLEGE STUDENTS IN MONTREAL-IN THE VIDEO YOU SEE THE “UQAM” BUILDING-THAT IS UNIVERSITY OF QUEBEC AT MONTREAL” THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 50,000 STUDENTS AT THAT SCHOOL.

WHEN MY SON COMES TO VISIT-HE CAN DO ALL BUT JUST STARE AT OLD PEOPLE AND VERY YOUNG CHILDREN-BECAUSE LITERALLY YOU SEE VERY FEW OF THESE TWO GROUPS IN MONTREAL. YOU BASICALLY DON’T SEE ANYONE OVER 45 REALLY. VERY YOUNG CITY. IT IS A WALKING CITY-AND EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IS A CELEBRATION OF LIFE.

J’AIME MONTRÉAL ET MLLE IT SO ‘ AM D’I TROP VIEUX À VIVRE DES HIVERS DE THERE-THE SONT SI DURE. MAIS JE ME DEMANDE TOUJOURS CE QUI SE SERAIT PRODUIT SI J’ÉTAIS RESTÉ. COMBIEN DIFFÉRENT MA VIE AURAIT ÉTÉ. “FRANGLAIS”

 

 

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, THE RELAYS FOR LIFE ARE TAKING PLACE THIS MONTH (JUNE). THE CHESHIRE, CT RELAY FOR LIFE IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY-JUNE 7 AND 8TH RAIN OR SHINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN. I CONTACTED THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY AND ASKED THEM WHERE ALL OF THIS MONEY GOES.
HERE IS THEIR RESPONSE:

Donations are used to help fund American Cancer Society programs in research, education, advocacy, and service.  Approximately 72% of The Society’s annual proceeds go towards programs to help people stay well and get well from cancer and 28% goes towards support services such as administration and fundraising expenses.

 

UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO” A BRITISH SERIES FEATURING GORDON RAMSAY WHO ATTEMPTS TO START A CATERING SERVICE IN ONE OF BRITAIN’S PRISONS. REAL GOOD SERIES-BUT THE LANGUAGE IS NOT CENSORED AND MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME-IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

THE SERIES IS CALLED: “GORDON  BEHIND BARS”

APPARENTLY, A COP IN DANBURY IS IN HOT WATER FOR HIS TIRADE AGAINST AN ILLEGAL ALIEN WHO WAS DRIVING INTOXICATED. YOU KNOW, FOR ONCE, I HAVE TO SIDE WITH THE COPS. I’M SORRY BUT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY. LOOK, YOU TOOK THE TIME TO COME HERE-AND THAT WASN’T EASY, WHY DON’T YOU JUST COMPLETE THE PROCESS. SOME OF WHAT HE SAID WAS WRONG-LIKE “I AM GOING TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU” BUT GET DOCUMENTED. MY SON, HAS BEEN IN CANADA FOR EIGHT YEARS AND BECAME A PERMANENT RESIDENT-TOOK FRENCH CLASSES-AND WILL BECOME A CANADIAN CITIZEN-KEEPING HIS U.S. CITIZENSHIP. IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL YEARS BUT THAT IS THE PROCESS.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:  SOMEONE INFORMED ME BUT I KNOW ALL ABOUT MR. “REALIST” NOW POSING AS “MOPEDRIDER” AND TAKING MY STATEMENTS ON THIS BLOG WHICH IS COPYWRITED, AND REWRITING THEM AS COMMENTS ON THE MERIDEN RECORD JOURNAL.   THOSE ARE NOT MY COMMENTS BECAUSE I PUT MY NAME ON WHAT I SAY. I DON’T READ THE RECORD JOURNAL OR TWL OR PATCH OR ANY NEWS OUTLET BUT THE HERALD SO LET HIM TALK. I WILL CONTINUE THE BLOG AS LONG AS I WANT. WHEN I WANT TO STOP THE BLOG-THAT IS MY DECISION NOT SOME FLAMER FROM THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT.

IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS, HE USED TO POST ANONYMOUS ON A FORMER TOWN COUNCILOR’S BLOG, IT IS JUST OLD AND PLAYED OUT. HE ALSO PUT COMMENTS ON MY YOUTUBE ACCOUNT-SPELLING MY HUSBAND’S NAME BACKWARDS. I JUST DELETED THEM. GOOD-HAVE A MISERABLE LIFE-COULDN’T BE HAPPIER.   BRING IT PLAYA. GO FIX THE HOLE IN YOUR BLOW UP DOLL AND KNOCK YOURSELF OUT NOW THAT YOUR MOTHER IS IN A NURSING HOME.

CLICK HERE FOR AUDIO OF THE DANBURY POLICE OFFICER PROBABLY SAYING WHAT WE WISH WE COULD SAY. HE SHOULDN’T BE IN HOT WATER-THAT WAS HIS HONEST FEELINGS. GOOD FOR HIM.

 

HERE IS A VIDEO OF A COP (ROAD RAGE)-HE RESIGNED AFTER THIS INCIDENT ACCORDING TO AOL. THAT IS WHY NOW-MY CARS ALL HAVE CAMERAS-VIDEO AND AUDIO. TELL THAT MERIDEN OFFICER TO COME TO CHESHIRE, CT. BELIEVE ME -HE STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UP-NO DOUBT AND THE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE AUDIO WOULD HAVE DISAPPEARED. GOT ON THE WRONG POLICE DEPT-COSSETTE. YOUR CAREER WOULD HAVE BLOSSOMED HERE BECAUSE THE MORE WRONG YOU DO HERE IN CHESHIRE,CT – THE HIGHER UP THE POLE YOU GO. OH, THEY WOULD HAVE PUT HIM THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT FOR  A FEW MONTHS IF THEY GOT A COMPLAINT-THEN HARASSED THE PERSON WITH ALL SORTS OF TICKETS-THEN HAD HIM GO TO THE TOWN GOV’T OFFICE TO “SMOOTH THINGS OUT” IF YOU GET MY DRIFT.

THEY WILL GET TIRED OF PAYING FINES AND ATTORNEY FEES AND HAVING THEIR PERK’S TAKEN AWAY-ROAD DUTY AND ROADBLOCKS.

 HERE IS THE LINK TO THE STORY OF THE COP RESIGNING OVER THIS DRIVING INCIDENT-OVER A DRIVING INCIDENT AND HE RESIGNED-CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT HAPPENING IN CHESHIRE, CT? HELL NO. SO THEY WILL PAY (LITERALLY) AND KEEP PAYING UNTIL THEY LEARN TO DO WHAT I DEEM IS APPROPRIATE POLICE WORK AND POLICE BEHAVIOR. YOU WILL OBEY ME-MY WISH WILL BE AND IS-YOUR COMMAND.

THERE IS A GOOD ARTICLE IN THE NEW HAVEN REGISTER BY A LOCAL ATTORNEY DISCUSSING THIS MERIDEN POLICE OFFICER-AND WHY HE WAS SINGLED OUT WHEN LET’S FACE IT-A LOT OF COPS HAVE PHYSICALLY ABUSED OR THREATENED TO ABUSE PEOPLE.

THE CASE HE CITES IS “MONROE V PAPE” FROM 1960-61. THIS WENT TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES WHICH BASICALLY STATED- THAT MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES CAN BE SUED FOR “WRONGFUL ACTS WHILE ON THE JOB.”

WHAT HAPPENED WAS-THAT SEVERAL CHICAGO ILL., POLICE OFFICERS BROKE INTO A BLACK MAN’S HOME WITHOUT A WARRANT-MADE HE AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY STAND NAKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHILE THEY RANSACKED THE HOME-BROUGHT THE MAN-FOR QUESTIONING-WAS NEVER AFFORDED AN ATTORNEY OR A PHONE CALL.

YOU DON’T KNOW HOW SOMEONE IN CHESHIRE, CT DODGED A BULLET. YOU DON’T KNOW. I LET IT GO-BUT NO MORE I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT. YOU DON’T DETAIN SOMEONE BECAUSE “YOU DIDN’T LIKE WHAT WAS SAID AND THEN SIT IN THE CAR FOR 20 MINUTES TALKING TRASH ABOUT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF WHILE I AND MY DAUGHTER SAT THERE IN THE CAR WAITING FOR HER TO FINISH.

MISSY BETTER READ “MONROE V PAPE AND THANK HER LUCKY STARS I LET EVERYTHING GO. I AM HOPING SHE LEARNED. BECAUSE IF D SAID: “IF YOU DON’T GIVE ME THE PAPERWORK-I WILL DRAG YOU FROM THE OFFICE OR THE BUILDING YOU ARE IN”- HE WOULD HAVE AT LEAST BEEN SUSPENDED-THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL SORTS OF HEARINGS (OPEN TO THE PUBLIC). THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT-IT IS AMAZING- THIS MAN HAS ALL SORTS OF CHECKS AND BALANCES AND STILL CAN PERFORM HIS JOB UNDER THREATS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST HIMSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY.

OH YES-COUNT ON IT-FLASHING LIGHTS-COURT ROOM IN SIGHT-I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL (FOI OR JAKE BRAKE) AND I WILL LAUNCH A TIRADE ON THIS TOWN THAT WILL SURELY BANKRUPT IT FROM LEGAL FEES. AS GOD IS MY WITNESS I AM READY. I HAVE THE LOCAL RESIDENT’S LAWYER ON RETAINER-I AM READY. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON’T REALLY NEED A LAWYER BECAUSE I RESEARCH MY OWN CASES AS YOU CAN SEE AND AS YOU SAW WITH THE DUI ROADBLOCK.

CLICK HERE FOR MONROE V PAPE.

HERE is a breakdown of the case.

 

I JUST READ WHERE THAT MERIDEN COP RESIGNED. GOOD. NOW, HOPEFULLY, THREE OTHER COPS WILL BE RESIGNING AFTER THE LOCAL CHESHIRE, CT RESIDENT GOES TO COURT AND EXPOSES THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE: LIARS-OUTRIGHT-ALL OF THEM. AND IN THIS CASE-SOMEONE DIED FROM THEIR ACTIONS. IMAGINE LYING ON SWORN STATEMENTS. AS I STATED BELOW-D DOESN’T HAVE TO LIE, HE DOESN’T HAVE TO THREATEN-WHEN THEY TALK THEIR TRASH-BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS-THESE PEOPLE AREN’T GOING TO DO ANYTHING-”I’M GOING TO SHOOT YOU-THROW YOU DOWN THE STAIRS-BREAK YOUR JAW”- IT IS TALK-BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARED AND THEY KNOW THEY ARE WRONG. D JUST STANDS THERE, LET’S THEM TALK-AND WALKS AWAY. AS I SAID-HE HAS THE POWER, THEY KNOW IT-AND HE TAKES ACTION AND GETS RESULTS. MAY BE THESE COPS SHOULD TRY GOING WITH D TO SEE HOW IT IS DONE.

I AM TIRED OF THESE COPS SAYING: THEY FEEL THREATENED-MY SAFETY IS IN DANGER- I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DO SOMETHING-FROM A HANDCUFFED DRUNK OR A MIDDLE AGED PROFESSIONAL MAN? I DON’T THINK SO. HEY LOOK, I WAS THREATENED-SO I GUESS  MY SAFETY IS IN DANGER-LET’S NOT FIND OUT BECAUSE SOMEONE YEARS AGO DID.

I KEEP HAVING FIGHTS WITH MY WEBHOSTER BECAUSE LOAD TIME IS SLOW. THEY KEEP TELLING ME I HAVE TOO MUCH ON MY SPLASH PAGE-WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP. THEY TOLD ME TO GET MY OWN DEDICATED SERVER LIKE CNN. GOD YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WILL COST. I JUST MIGHT HAVE TO-OR SWITCH TO ANOTHER WEBHOSTER. I WILL MAKE A DECISION BY NEXT WEEK. IT IS FUNNY-BECAUSE AFTER I CALL THEM AND COMPLAIN-THE WEBSITE LOADS FASTER. “OH THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE YOU SHARE THE HOSTER WITH.”

TOO FREAKING BAD-MY BLOG IS IMPORTANT-NOT HOW TO BAKE BROWNIES-EVERYBODY ELSE CAN  STEP ASIDE FOR ME AND WAIT BECAUSE THEIR BLOGS ARE BORING.

ANYWAY-HERE IS MY HOROSCOPE FOR TODAY-TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 2013:

Your feisty side is fully engaged right now, and you may find that you’re stirring up trouble wherever you go. Most of it is harmless, but at least one person may take you far too seriously!

 

 

BOY SOMEBODY’S GOT ME PEGGED. THIS WHOLE THING IS JUST CRAP-ALL OF IT. IT IS RHETORIC AND NO ONE IS BETTER AT IT THAN I. HEY LOOK, THAT IS HOW THE ALLIES WON WORLD WAR 2-RHETORIC-IS IT REAL? IS IT SERIOUS? IS IT JUST A BLUFF?

CAN YOU AFFORD TO TAKE THAT CHANCE?

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS. I AM GETTING READY FOR MY SURGERY ON MY SHOULDER-TORN ROTATOR CUFF. I HAVE THE BRACES THAT WILL BE PUT ON AFTER THE SURGERY.

THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST SAID, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT HE SEES A LOT OF TORN ROTATOR CUFFS -MOSTLY BECAUSE OF COMPUTER USAGE. HE SAID THIS INJURY SEEMS TO BE REPLACING BACK PAIN.

I WILL BE GOING TO CT DOT THIS WEEK TO DISCUSS THESE DUI CHECKPOINTS. THEY NEED TO BE STOPPED AND THEY WILL BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY HAVE TURNED INTO AN ILLEGAL MOTOR VEHICLE VIOLATION CHECKPOINT WHICH IS NOT SPECIFIED IN THE GRANT IT IS FOR SOBRIETY NOT FOR THEM TO MAKE THEIR QUOTA AND POCKET ABOUT $3,000 TO BOOT FOR THE NIGHT. THAT IS ALL THEY ARE IN IT FOR-THE MONEY. IF THE GRANT IS FOR $25,000 AND THEY CAN HAVE A MAXIMUM OF EIGHT OFFICERS-DO THE MATH.

MOST OF THE TIME, THEY DON’T GET ONE DRUNK. IF I HAVE MY WAY-SOME POLICE DEPT BETTER NOT COUNT ON JULY 4TH OR LABOR DAY CHECKPOINTS-JUST CROSS THEM OFF YOUR LIST. WE ARE STOPPING A LOT OF THEIR OVERTIME AND NOW WE ARE TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN CUT THEIR STAFFING. I MEAN HOW MANY COPS ARE “SITTING” AT THAT POLICE STATION EACH DAY? THERE ARE SUPPOSEDLY THREE ON DRIVING THE PATROL CARS DURING THE DAY-WHAT ARE THE REST DOING?

AND WHY DOES CHESHIRE, CT HAVE A PATROL DIVISION-WITH A PAID SUPERVISOR AND A TRAFFIC DIVISION-WITH A PAID SUPERVISOR? AS I HAVE ASKED PREVIOUSLY-WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO DIVISIONS? THEY BOTH GIVE OUT TICKETS.

LOOK, YOU ARE PAYING OVER $6 MILLION A YEAR-(THE REAL FIGURE), FOR PEOPLE TO BASICALLY HAND OUT TRAFFIC TICKETS? ARE YOU GETTING TIRED OF IT? WE DON’T KNOW WHAT CRIMES THEY SOLVE-THEY DON’T PUBLISH THE MONTHLY REPORTS-THEY GIVE THEM TO THE TOWN COUNCIL-AS IF YOU THE RESIDENT-AREN’T ENTITLED TO THIS INFORMATION. THEY SAY THERE IS VERY LITTLE CRIME, BUT NEED A LARGE POLICE FORCE-AND WHEN SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN, THEY EITHER COVER IT UP OR CALL ANOTHER TOWN IN TO HELP THEM OUT.  CASE IN POINT-WHEN THAT TUFANO AMUSEMENT INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH THE EMPLOYEE WITH THE ALLEGED GUN-THEY CALLED SOUTHINGTON POLICE TO HELP THEM.

WHY? SEE WHAT I MEAN?

IF THERE ARE 49 SWORN OFFICERS-THEN THAT MEANS THERE ARE AT LEAST “12″ COPS AT THE STATION AT ONE TIME. WHAT ARE THEY ALL DOING ALL DAY?  THIS STATE TROOPER IDEA SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE AND MORE POPULAR. IMAGINE SPENDING $38,000 A YEAR PER TROOPER, NOT $90,000 FOR ONE COP; NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A UNION CONTRACT NEGOTIATION; NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR EQUIPMENT, CARS, ETC, NO OVERTIME, NO FACILITY, NO PENSION. YOU SEE WHAT THE STATE POLICE JUST DID TO SAVE OVERTIME? THEY JUST CONSOLIDATED SEVERAL BARRACKS TOGETHER AND NOW 50 TROOPERS WILL BE UNDER THE COMMAND OF ONE TROOP.

AND NOW THE DUMB ASS SUPREME COURT HAS RULED THAT COPS CAN TAKE YOUR DNA WHEN THEY ARREST YOU  (AND THEN KEEP IT AND SET YOU UP WHEN THERE IS A CRIME BY SPREADING IT ALL OVER). BOY IS THE WORLD GOING TO HELL. BUT WE KEEP ON FIGHTING TO THE END.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT COP IN MERIDEN GOT WHAT HE DESERVED. “OH I FELT THEATENED.” I MEAN THE GUY HE ARRESTED WAS A LOSER-THREE DUI’S ILLEGAL ALIEN. BUT I WILL TELL YOU-THE OTHER DAY D WENT OUT ON AN ASSIGNMENT TO COLLECT EMPLOYER TAX. HE ARRIVED AT THE SITE AND HEARD A MAN YELL: “IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MONEY-GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW OR I WILL SHOOT YOU DEAD.”

OK PANSIES-OK? HE GETS THREATENED ALL THE TIME-”I AM GOING TO PUSH YOU DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS-GET OUT” ONE SAID TO HIM A FEW YEARS AGO-”JESUS CHRIST DIED ON A FRIDAY-IT’S FRIDAY”

WHAT DOES HE DO?-HE JUST TAKES WHATEVER MONEY THEY HAVE IN THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS-THAT’S ALL. IF THEY DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY-HE GETS THE STATE POLICE TO ARREST THEM. THERE IS NO THREATENING INVOLVED OR PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AT ALL-HE HAS ALL THE POWER AND HE USES IT WITHOUT “I AM GOING TO DRAG YOU- OR RIP YOU FROM YOUR CAR” OR PUSH SOMEONE’S HEAD INTO A CONCRETE BENCH WHEN THEY ARE HANDCUFFED OR THROW SOMEONE ON THE GROUND. NONE OF THIS IS NEEDED- AND HE COLLECTS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX MONEY, SOME OF WHICH PROBABLY WENT INTO PORKY’S POCKET.

OH MAN MAKE THE PHONE CALLS-THIS DUDE OUGHT TO LAST ABOUT 30 SECONDS IN PRISON.

HERE IS AN OLD TUNE BY CONNIE FRANCIS-APPROPRIATELY TITLED: “WHO’S SORRY NOW? HINT: NOT ME.

I HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED OF THE PASSING OF ONE OF MY FORMER COLLEAGUES AT THE BPT (CT) POST-PHOTOGRAPHER WAYNE RATZENBERGER-HE WAS THE COUSIN OF JOHN RATZENBERGER OF “CHEERS” IF YOU REMEMBER THAT SHOW.

I LOVED WAYNE. HE WAS A GREAT PHOTOG AND WE HAD MANY ASSIGNMENTS TOGETHER AND HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS. HE WAS QUIET BUT A BIG GUY- HE WAS 6 FT 6 AND YOU ALWAYS KNEW WHEN HE WAS IN THE ROOM. WAYNE WAS 71 AND DIED OF CANCER. HE WAS A PHOTOG AT THE MILFORD MIRROR WHEN HE PASSED AWAY ON MAY 21. I AM SO SO SORRY FOR HIS DEATH. WHAT  GREAT GUY. I AM SORRY I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW. HE WAS MARRIED TO ELAINE FICARRA WHO USED TO WORK AT THE BPT TELEGRAM (THE MORNING AND WEEKEND PAPER) AND NOW IS PRESS SECRETARY FOR MAYOR BILL FINCH. I AM SO SORRY ELAINE. GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD KEEP YOU WAYNE-YOU WERE A STAND UP GUY. SLOWLY PASSING ARE THE DAYS WHEN PEOPLE DID WORK BECAUSE THEY WANTED AND LOVED IT-NOT FOR “PERKS” OR FOR MONEY. THAT IS WHY WE COULD AND CAN NOT BE DEFEATED BECAUSE IT IS IN OUR SOUL AND WE DEEPLY BELIEVED WHAT WE DID WAS RIGHT AND IT WAS RIGHT. WE WERE ARTISTS AND THIS IS HOW WE EXPRESSED OURSELVES.  WAYNE WAS THAT TYPE OF PERSON. I SAW HIM A FEW YEARS AGO AT AN EVENT I TOOK MY MOM TO AT THE EASTON SENIOR CENTER. I SPOKE WITH HIM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND I AM GLAD I DID.

REST IN PEACE WAYNE.

IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE -THE TAXPAYING PUBLIC IN CHESHIRE, CT WON’T KNOW THE OUTCOME OF THIS EXECUTIVE SESSION WITH THE “MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING” WITH THE POLICE DEPT.

COME ON-WHAT IS THIS “UNDERSTANDING” WHY DOESN’T THE CHESHIRE, CT POLICE DEPT HAVE A CONTRACT? YOU SEE, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CERTAIN TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS NOW REALIZE THAT ALL THIS OVERTIME AND THESE OUT OF CONTROL PENSIONS ARE DOING TO THE LOCAL AND STATE COFFERS. BUT NOW, THEY ARE TRYING TO REEL IN THE FISH WAY TOO FAST. WHEN YOU GO FISHING-YOU REEL IN SLOWLY-WELL, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH THE PENSIONS AND THE OVERTIME-NOT TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE. IT DOESN’T WORK THIS WAY.

THE POLICE NEED A WORKING CONTRACT-NOT SOME UNDERSTANDING THAT ISN’T EVEN BINDING. THIS IS WHY THIS ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IRONED OUT-NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TOOK- WHEN THE ISSUE OF THE PENSIONS FIRST CAME UP. NOW WE HAVE THE DEMS VOTING FOR THE CONTRACT AND THE REPUBLICANS VOTING AGAINST IT. AND I AM SURE, SOME TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER WAS NOT TOO PLEASANT DURING THAT EXECUTIVE SESSION DISCUSSION ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THE TOWN HALL.

I REALLY HAVE MY DIFFERENCES WITH THIS POLICE DEPT-NO DOUBT-BUT THERE ARE A FEW OF THEM DOWN THERE THAT REALIZE WHAT I AM REALLY DOING-YOU SEE, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVERYONE ISN’T TREATED FAIRLY AND WHY I AM CONSTANTLY PUSHING FOR THAT-EQUAL TREATMENT? IT’S LIKE WAITING UNTIL YOUR CHILD IS 60 YEARS OLD AND THEN TRYING TO DISCIPLINE. IT DOESN’T WORK.

YOU CAN’T BLAME THE UNION-THEY SAW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CT STATE POLICE AND CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS-THEY DID NOT COMPROMISE ON THEIR CONTRACTS-THEY DID NOT GIVE CONCESSIONS AND WERE THE ONLY STATE LABOR UNION THAT DID NOT. SO WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

HOPEFULLY, THE PUBLIC WHICH HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW-WE PAY THE BILLS-WILL FIND OUT THE RESULTS OF THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE. I SUPPORT THE POLICE UNION OF CHESHIRE, CT ON THIS ISSUE.

IT DOESN’T EXCUSE WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR-I CAME CLOSE IN MY OPINION OF BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED. SOME PEOPLE DON’T REALIZE, I DO, BECAUSE I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER IN LAW ENFORCEMENT-THAT WHEN POLICE VIDEO IS SHUT OFF (AT LEAST IT CAN BE RETRIEVED FROM THE HARD DRIVE). WHEN AUDIO IS NOT PUT ON-THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT-THANK GOD-AND I WILL SAY IT A MILLION TIMES-MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THAT CAR. I CAN’T GET OVER IT-AND I WON’T FORGET IT-FOR A LONG TIME.

CLICK HERE FOR WHAT SUPPOSEDLY THE “OUTLETS” AT CHESHIRE, CT WILL LOOK LIKE.

WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE JUST ABOUT EVERY BUSINESS IN THIS TOWN, I DON’ EXPECT THIS OUTLET STORE TO MAKE IT IF SOME PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN DON’T CHANGE THEIR ATTITUDE FOR GOOD ABOUT HARASSING THE MOTORING PUBLIC.

SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE-THERE MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 40 BUSINESSES THAT HAVE COME AND GONE AND YOU KNOW WHY. THE LATEST BEING CLIFF’S DELI ACROSS FROM THE TOWN HALL ON S. MAIN STREET. THAT GRAND APIZZA ALSO CLOSED A FEW MONTHS AGO, ARBY’S CLOSED, THREE LIQUOR STORES CLOSED (BUT WHO CARES-THAT DOESN’ ADD ANYTHING TO THIS TOWN). THE SOURCE CLOTHING STORE CLOSED NOT LONG AGO-THAT CLEANERS NEAR MONRO MUFFLER CLOSED-THE HAIR SALON NEAR SHEFF’S BAGELS CLOSED-YELLOWFIN’S CLOSED NOT THAT LONG AGO-SHANGRI LI IN THE STAPLES PLAZA CLOSED-THAT LITLE FOOD STAND IN BACK OF THE TOWN HALL CLOSED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. FOR GOD;S SAKE BURGER  KING CLOSED HERE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO ALONG WITH PIZZA HUT.  FRANKIES HOT DOGS CLOSED SEVERAL YEARS AGO  ALONG WITH THAT BOOKSTORE-BUCK A BOOK-RICHLIN CLOSED WHERE STAPLES IS NOW-HALLMARKS CLOSED WHERE FROYO IS NOW AND OWEN’S DELI CLOSED LAST YEAR; CHESHIRE CYCLE MOVED TO WHITNEY AVENUE IN HAMDEN; CHESHIRE VIDEO AND DISC CLOSED A FEW YEARS AGO. WE USED TO HAVE SEAFARER AND THEN DAMONS RESTAURANT AND THEY BOTH CLOSED (NOW THE CVS IS THERE.   I COULD GO ON BUT IT WOULD TAKE ME HALF THE DAY

IF YOU WERE A BIG RETAIL DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND SAW THIS LIST-AND BELIEVE ME THEY WILL BE GETTING THE COMPLETE LIST-WOULD YOU WANT TO INVEST HERE? I WOULDN’T. BECAUSE I WILL TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN. THE POLICE ARE GOING TO HIRE FIVE MORE OFFICERS-AS THEY DID IN THE EARLY 80′S WHEN APPLE VALLEY MALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BUILT IN THE SAME LOCATION AS THE OUTLETS AT CHESHIRE-NEAR I-691 BUT IT NEVER MATERIALIZED BUT THE POLICE FORCE NUMBERS STAYED THE SAME. THEY WILL BE UP THERE HARASSING CUSTOMERS – DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT SCANNING YOUR LICENSE PLATE AS THEY DO IN THE STOP AND SHOP LOT AND THE BARTLEM PARK LOT WHERE THE STUDENTS PARK DURING THE DAY. I MEAN LOOK, YOUR CAR IS PARKED-NOT EVEN ON THE ROAD AND THEY ARE DOING THIS-I WONDER HOW LEGAL THAT IS? I WILL FIND OUT. DO YOU THINK THESE RETAILERS ARE GOING TO WANT TO PUT UP WITH THIS? NO-AND I WILL MAKE SURE THEY KNOW ABOUT IT.

I DID ASK FOR THE CHESHIRE, CT MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES OVERTIME FOR FY 12/13. I AM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL JULY 1 WHEN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR BEGINS AND THE OLD FISCAL YEAR ENDS. THIS YEAR, HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE POSTING ALL OF THE DEPARTMENT’S OVERTIME-JUST THE POLICE.

OK, I DID ATTEND FOR ABOUT A HALF OF AN HOUR-THE MEETING THE COMMUNITY POOL STUDY COMMITTEE-THAT ISN’T THEIR OFFICIAL NAME, BUT YOU GET THE POINT.

THE CONSULTANT-AND I AM SORRY I DON’T KNOW HIS NAME-WAS GOING THROUGH A REALLY GOOD SLIDE PRESENTATION OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS-ONE OF THEM BEING SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES. THIS CONSULTANT IS REALLY GOOD-HE DESIGNED THAT FTBE (THAT IS THE MATERIAL) I MAY HAVE THE LETTERS WRONG-BUT HE DESIGNED THAT STRUCTURE FOR THE BEJING OLYMPICS IN 2008. REMEMBER, I HAD A LINK TO THIS STRUCTURE-IT IS SORT OF A FANCY INFLATABLE BUBBLE- BACK IN 2008. HE SAID THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SPEND SOMETHING LIKE $100 MILLION ON IT. BUT HE SAID IT WEARS-I SHOULD SAY FADES. HE SAID THE STRUCTURE, THOUGH VERY NICE-LOOKS OLDER THAN IT IS. SO THAT OPTION WAS PROBABLY OUT.

THE CONSULTANT DID SAY THAT AS FAR AS ENERGY CONSUMPTION GOES-HAVING A PERMANENT STRUCTURE OR HAVING A FABRIC STRUCTURE WILL NOT MAKE ANY REAL DIFFERENCE IN ENERGY COSTS-THEY ARE ABOUT EQUAL.

HE DID GO OVER THE STRUCTURE AT THE DENVER AIRPORT-THIS IS A SORT OF FABRIC STRUCTURE HELD UP BY GUY WIRES-HE SAID THE STRUCTURE IS SOUND-THEY HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF SNOW IN DENVER AND WIND ALSO. HE SAID IT WAS THE MATERIAL THAT WAS IMPORTANT NOT THE WIRES.

HE DID SPEAK ABOUT SPRUNG-THAT THEY HAVE A STEEL MEMBRANE. SOME OF THE TENSIONED FABRIC STRUCTURES OUT RIGHT NOW HAVE ALUMINUM FRAMES ALSO. HE SAID THE FRAME WOULD BE PUT UP AGAINST THE WALL OF THE POOL.

I ASKED ABOUT POSSIBLY (WHICH IS BEING CONSIDERED) PUTTING UP ANOTHER INFLATABLE BUBBLE BUT HAVING A TUNNEL-AS I AM SHOWCASING UNDER THE FEATURED PHOTOS-”MADISON SWIM AND RACQUET.” REMEMBER, I WENT OUT TO  MADISON AND TOOK THESE PICTURES SHOWING THE TUNNEL IDEA IN 2009. I WENT TO MILFORD AND HAD PHOTOS OF OPENAIRE, WHICH IS PROBABLY NOT AN OPTION-THE CONSULTANT AGREED WHEN I SPOKE ABOUT IT-THAT IT IS TOO HOT-IT IS A POLYCARBONATE STRUCTURE-BUT IT IS LIKE A GREENHOUSE.

I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SPRUNG AND THE BEJING BUBBLE ALONG WITH THE TUNNEL IDEA FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND WHETHER THIS TOWN LIKES IT OR NOT OR WANTS TO ADMIT IT-ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS TO SEND THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AROUND ON SOME FIELD TRIPS GATHER THE INFORMATION AND COME BACK WITH A FINDING WITHOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS ON A CONSULTANT WHO IS BASICALLY SAYING WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND PUT ON THIS BLOG. BUT CHESHIRE,CT DOESN’T WANT INPUT FROM THE AVERAGE CITIZEN ESPECIALLY IF THEY SAY THINGS THEY DON’T AGREE WITH.

I HAVE NOT SEEN THE HATERS TAKE ANY TIME TO DO ANY RESEARCH AT ALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I TOOK THE TIME AND I AM GLAD I DID AND WAS ABLE TO PRESENT THE OPTIONS TO YOU. I DID THIS BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT. I AM NOT GETTING ANYTHING MONETARY FOR MENTIONING SPRUNG STRUCTURES. IN FACT, I SPOKE TO THEM ONCE A FEW YEARS AGO AND THAT HAS BEEN IT. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO GET INVOLVED AND BRING UP ISSUES THAT THE TOWN GOVERNMENT DEEM NOT POPULAR OR DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT-YOU GET GRIEF. THAT IS FINE-THAT JUST SHOWS WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE WE ARE DEALING WITH-HURRY UP AND CATER TO A FEW PEOPLE AND THE REST OF YOU CAN JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTHS AND PAY YOUR TAXES SO WE-THE TOWN GOVERNMENT-CAN DO WHAT WE WANT. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE HERE. MAYBE CHESHIRE IS STARTING TO LEARN TO STOP CATERING TO A FEW PEOPLE. THIS POOL IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THAT. HURRY UP TO FAIL.

OH THE CONSULTANT SAID THE AVERAGE AGE OF MUNICIPAL POOLS IN THIS COUNTRY IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 25 YEARS OF AGE. HE SAID ONCE THE TENSIONED FABRIC IS STRETCHED OUT-IT IS LIKE CEMENT. IT IS SOUND AND STURDY. LOOK, FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, I HAVE BEEN IN TWO SPRUNG STRUCTURES, AND THERE WERE NEVER ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THEY DID HAVE TWO FAILURES-AND THEY SHOW IT ON THEIR WEBSITE-TWO STRUCTURES IN RUSSIA COLLAPSED BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO PUT IT UP THEM SELVES WITHOUT USING SPRUNG PERSONNEL AND THE FABRIC WASN’T TENSIONED CORRECTLY AND THE STRUCTURE COLLAPSED. THEY SEEM TO BE VERY HONEST AND FORTHCOMING. THE CONSULTANT SAID THE BUBBLE ENCLOSURE WAS THE WAY TO GO YEARS AGO, BUT NOW PEOPLE ARE RECONSIDERING AND GOING WITH THE TENSIONED FABRIC STRUCTURE.

YOU KNOW A FEW WEEKS AGO-I WAS IN WALLINGFORD AND SOME PEOPLE CAME TO THE INLAND WETLANDS MEETING. WHEN THEY LEFT THE COMMISSIONERS SAID “THANK YOU FOR COMING.” IN CHESHIRE, CT ESPECIALLY IF IT IS SOMEONE THEY DON’T AGREE WITH, THEY ACT LIKE-WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE- AND “ARE YOU THROUGH.” YOU KNOW WHAT CHESHIRE-YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE-YOUR SLIP IS REALLY STARTING TO SHOW. PULL IT UP AND GET IT STRAIGHT.

WELL, WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH.

I WILL BE GOING TO THE CT DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION THIS WEEK WITH THE COPY OF THE DUI CHECKPOINT ANNOUNCEMENT-I WILL BE GOING WITH A  FEW PEOPLE. WE ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE FUNDING CUT OFF FOR ANYMORE DUI CHECKPOINTS IN CHESHIRE, CT WHICH HAVE TURNED INTO NOTHING MORE THAN MOTOR VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT STOPS WHICH ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE GRANT-IT IS FOR SOBRIETY-NOT LET ME SEE YOUR LICENSE.

WHILE WE ARE UP THERE, WE WILL BE TRYING TO GET THE CT DOT TO NOT GIVE ANY MORE MONEY TO CHESHIRE CT UNLESS THEY STRAIGHTEN OUT THEIR ACT-PERIOD. I AM SICK OF IT-HEARING ABOUT ANOTHER LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT-IT WAS HARASSMENT-IF THESE PEOPLE CAN’T ACT RIGHT-THEN THEY WILL PAY THE PRICE LEGALLY.

MORE ON THIS LATER.

I NOTICED THE “CHESHIRE CITIZEN” WHICH CAME OUT ON MAY 23-THURSDAY-HAD AN ANNOUNCEMENT UNDER “BRIEFS” REGARDING THE CHESHIRE POLICE DUI ROADBLOCK ON MAY 24. THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT MADE NO MENTION OF THE “OFFICERS WILL ALSO BE CHECKING FOR PROPER LICENSING.”

NICE TRY.

I WANT TO THANK PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WERE VERY MOVED OVER THIS ARTICLE ABOUT MY DAD. IT IS THE GOD’S HONEST TRUTH.  WHAT WAS EVEN MORE TRUTHFUL WAS THE STORY ABOUT MY GREAT UNCLE DAN WHO WAS A PARATROOPER UNDER PATTON. HE LANDED AT ANZIO ITALY-HE WAS A MASTER SERGEANT AT THE TIME. THEY WERE GOING HOUSE TO HOUSE WHEN HE WALKED INTO A HOUSE AND SAW HIS WEDDING PHOTO ON THE MANTLE. IT TURNS OUT IT WAS  A RELATIVES HOUSE. HE BROUGHT THEM FOOD, WHICH WAS AGAINST ARMY POLICY. HE WAS DEMOTED TO PRIVATE FOR DOING SO. BUT HE WAS AWARDED THE PURPLE HEART AND WAS HONORABLY DISCHARGED.

GOD YOU COULDN’T MAKE THAT ONE UP IN A MILLION YEARS-BIZARRE!

APPARENTLY NOW, THE TOWN COUNCIL OF CHESHIRE, CT IS GOING TO DISCUSS -IN  POSSIBLE EXECUTIVE SESSION ON WEDNESDAY-THE “MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING” REGARDING THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT. WELL, AT LEAST THE AGENDA WAS FILED ON TIME. HEY, ITS FOR THE TOWNS OWN GOOD. STOP WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN’T DO THEIR JOBS RESPONSIBLY. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

HERE  IS THE DEFINITION OF A “MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING”

A memorandum of understanding is a document that spells out an agreement between parties.It will also outline the shared objectives, ways to achieve them and conflict resolution mechanisms should there be a disagreement. However it is not legally binding and either party can pull out at any time.

 

 

BOY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT MEMORANDUM. I AM JUST HOPING THE POLICE UNION DID NOT BACK DOWN. NOT THAT I AGREE WITH THIS PENSION SITUATION, THAT IT SHOULD BE ENHANCED FOR PERSONNEL THAT ARE GRANDFATHERED IN BECAUSE NEW HIRES DON’T GET A PENSION-BUT THE TOWN COUNCIL-ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD HAVE IRONED OUT THEIR DIFFERENCES AT THE TABLE RIGHT THEN AND THERE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, WITHOUT ALLOWING THE POLICE TO GO WITHOUT A CONTRACT.

THE POLICE SHOULD NOT BE WITHOUT A CONTRACT PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I SUPPORT THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE UNION AND HOPE THEY STOOD THEIR GROUND BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, STAND YOUR GROUND AS I ALWAYS DO. AND FOR THAT I HAVE RESPECT.

MY DAD WAS IN THE ARMY IN WORLD WAR 2. HE WAS DRAFTED AND WENT TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC.  HE WORKED AS A MECHANIC MOSTLY ON THE B-25 AND P-51.. HE WAS IN SAIPAN AND TINIAN-IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY-THAT WAS WHERE THE ENOLA GAY TOOK OFF FROM AND DROPPED THE FIRST ATOMIC BOMB ON HIROSHIMA AND THEN LATER ON NAGASAKI.

I REMEMBER ONE TIME MY DAD SPOKE ABOUT THE WAR-HE SAID THE JAPANESE WOULD TAKE AMERICAN PRISONERS OF WAR AND SHOOT THEM IN COLD BLOOD. MY DAD SAID ONE TIME-THE AMERICANS TOOK SOME JAPANESE POWS. THEY WERE TOLD TO SHOOT THEM DOWN AS RETALIATION. MY DAD SAID HE TOOK HIS GUN AND DELIBERATELY SHOT OVER THEIR HEADS MISSING THEM SO AS NOT TO KILL THEM. MY DAD NEVER FORGOT THIS-I COULD TELL.

HE CAME BACK FROM THE WAR AND A FEW MONTHS LATER, RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM THE GOVERNMENT TELLING HIM THEY MADE A MISTAKE, HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DRAFTED-HE WAS THE ONLY SON IN THE FAMILY.

I REMEMBER MY AUNT, YEARS AGO, TELLING ME THAT HER MOTHER, MY GRANDMOTHER, WAS SPEAKING TO A MAN AND TOLD HIM OF THEIR PLIGHT-HER ONLY SON WAS IN THE ARMY AND COULD HE HELP. HE SAID HE COULD HELP. SHE PAID HIM $200 WHICH WAS HER LIFE SAVINGS,  BECAUSE HER HUSBAND, MY GRANDFATHER HAD PASSED AWAY AT 40 YEARS OLD AND LEFT THEM PENNILESS AND ON WELFARE. THE MAN TOOK HER MONEY AND THEY NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN.

MY AUNT SAID MY DAD CAME BACK FROM THE WAR AND WAS DIFFERENT. HE WAS ALWAYS NERVOUS. LITTLE THINGS WOULD UPSET HIM.

SOMETIMES I HATED MY DAD BECAUSE HE WAS TOUGH-HE WOULD RIDICULE AND PUT ME DOWN IF HE DID NOT THINK I WAS WORKING TO MY POTENTIAL BUT THAT WAS THE WAY OF A LOT OF OUR PARENTS OF THE WW2 GENERATION. THEY WERE TOUGH-THEY HAD TO BE-AND THEY WERE BRUTAL WITH US-

BUT MY DAD ALWAYS SAID-LISTEN TO EVERYONE-EVERYONE IS EQUAL. AND MY DAD DID-HE LISTENED TO EVERYONE HE MET. I SWEAR MY DAD KNEW EVERYONE IN BRIDGEPORT UNDER THE AGE OF 40, I AM TELLING YOU.

MY DAD DIED IN 1979 OF A HEART ATTACK WHEN HE WAS 56 YEARS OLD. I WAS 21 WHEN MY DAD DIED, MY BROTHER WAS 18.

SOMETIMES I YELLED OUT ABOUT MY DAD-HOW I DID NOT LIKE WHAT HE DID. HOW I WAS ASHAMED OF HIM FOR WHAT HE DID FOR A LIVING – HE WAS A MACHINIST.

I REMEMBER WORKING AT THE NEWSPAPER AS REPORTER IN THE LATE 70′S. CO-WORKERS WOULD SPEAK ABOUT THEIR DADS, “OH MY DAD IS A PROFESSOR” “MY DAD WORKS IN AN OFFICE, ETC ETC.

I REMEMBER GETTING MY PASSPORT BACK THEN AND HAVING TO GET THE LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE WHICH LISTS THE FATHERS (NOT THE MOTHERS AT THAT TIME) OCCUPATION.  I REMEMBER A FRIEND FROM THE NEWSPAPER WENT WITH ME TO GET THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE. I WAS LOOKING AT IT-AND I WAS SO ASHAMED OF WHAT MY DAD DID FOR A LIVING-I REMEMBER PUTTING MY HAND OVER HIS “OCCUPATION” SO THIS PERSON, WHOSE DAD WAS  A PROFESSIONAL, COULD NOT SEE IT.

I WAS ASHAMED OF HIM.

WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY ON DEC 22, 1979 I RETURNED TO WORK A FEW DAYS LATER. WHEN I WAS WALKING INTO THE LOBBY OF THE NEWSPAPER, THE SECURITY GUARD HAD READ ABOUT MY DAD PASSING AWAY AND HE SAID: “YOU KNOW, YOUR DAD WOULD SIT OUT IN HIS CAR ON STATE STREET, UNTIL 1 OR 2 A.M. WAITING FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF WORK  TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE ALRIGHT AND HE WOULD FOLLOW YOU HOME. DID YOU KNOW THAT?

MY DAD USED TO GET UP TO GO TO WORK AT 5 A.M.-AND I NEVER KNEW WHAT HE HAD DONE.

I AM SORRY DAD FOR THE THINGS I SAID. I AM SORRY I WAS ASHAMED OF YOU-YOU WERE  A GOOD DAD-A VETERAN WHO WENT AND SERVED HIS COUNTRY-ASKING FOR NOTHING IN RETURN. I LOVE YOU DAD-AND WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID-FOR ME AND FOR MY COUNTRY.

I REMEMBER A FEW DAYS BEFORE MY DAD DIED, HE CAME UP TO THE NEWSROOM AND SAW ME THERE WORKING-I LOOKED AND SAW HIM, TURNED MY HEAD FOR A SECOND-AND HE WAS GONE.  I AM GLAD MY DAD SAW ME THERE- I REALLY AM. THAT IS THE LAST MEMORY HE HAD OF ME-

WHEN HE OPENED THE LOCAL PAPER IN THE MORNING, MY NAME IS WHAT HE SAW ON AN ARTICLE I WROTE. AND WHEN HE DIED, PEOPLE WOULD TELL ME WHAT HE WOULD SAY -MY FATHER NEVER SAID THAT MUCH-BUT HE WOULD GO AROUND THE STEEL MILL TELLING PEOPLE-THAT IS MY DAUGHTER’S NAME IN THE PAPER-SHE WROTE THAT.

I WONDER WHAT I WOULD SAY TO MY DAD IF I SAW HIM TODAY. I WONDER WHAT HE WOULD THINK OF ALL THE GRANDCHILDREN HE MISSED SEEING.

WE OF THE BABY BOOM GENERATION HAD A REAL  LOVE/HATE WITH OUR PARENTS. WE WERE THE FIRST GENERATION TO REALLY SPLIT WITH THEM-SPLIT OVER HOW THE COUNTRY WAS RUN-WE SPLIT WITH THEM OVER THEIR NOT EVER QUESTIONING AUTHORITY OR THE GOVERNMENT.

BUT, WE DID FOLLOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS-HOW TO WORK HARD-HOW TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY-TO MARRY AND HAVE CHILDREN. IT IS AS IF YOU TURN ONE WAY AND THEN TURN THE OTHER. WE RESENT BECAUSE THEY WERE SO STRICT AND UNBENDING-BUT WE LOVE AND TAKE COMFORT IN WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN AND WHAT THEY TAUGHT US.

THANKS DAD AND ALL THE OTHER VETERANS. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN AND ALWAYS LOVED AND RESPECTED.

 

I SPOKE ON THE LAST POST ABOUT MY SILENT MOVIE COLLECTION. I INHERITED FROM A CLOSE FRIEND OF MY GRANDFATHERS THAT LIVED IN BRIDGEPORT ON GURDON ST YEARS AGO. HE WAS A JOURNALIST WITH THE NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE IN THE 20′S AND ALSO WORKED ON SCRIPTS WITH HAROLD LLOYD, ROSCOE FATTY ARBUCKLE AND MARY PICKFORD. HE IS THE REASON I WENT INTO JOURNALISM. HE HAD NO CHILDREN AND LEFT ME HIS COLLECTION-SOME OF WHICH WERE THE FIRST PRINTS OFF THE THE MASTERS. YES-WORTH MONEY. THEY ARE NOT THE ORIGINALS AND I DO PAY ROYALTIES TO THE ORIGINAL HOLDERS BUT I HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE MONETARILY BUT TO ALSO PRESERVE THIS ART WHICH I DEARLY LOVE.

HULU’S “CRITERION COLLECTION” IS RUNNING ONE  OF THE FILMS I HAVE THE COPY TO: HAROLD LLOYD’S “SPEEDY” FROM 1928. THERE IS A SOUNDTRACK THAT WAS ADDED FOR SHOWING ON THE INTERNET. IF YOU  GET A CHANCE-TAKE A LOOK AT IT. (HEY HOW DO YOU THINK I PAID CASH FOR ALL OF MY KIDS COLLEGE?) DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER-WE LIVE FRUGAL BUT COMFORTABLY AND CAN RETIRE ANY TIME WE WANT. I ALSO HAVE NO CREDIT AND PAY CASH FOR EVERYTHING-AND HAVE NO DEBTS-NONE WHATSOVER-NO MORTGAGES NOTHING.  THAT YOU DAVE LUSTIG.

IT IS 88 DEGREES IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA IN FLORIDA-SUNNY-AND WILL BE SUNNY IN THE HIGH 80′S LOW 90′S ALL WEEKEND-”PICTURE PERFECT” THEY ARE SAYING.

WHY DO WE STILL LIVE HERE? WHY DO I STILL LIVE HERE? NOT AFTER NEXT JUNE, WHEN I GET BACK FROM GERMANY, HUNGARY, AUSTRIA AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC-OFF TO FLORIDA I WILL GO. I WOULD BE GOING SOONER BUT I HAVE ONE OPERATION DOWN AND ONE TO GO THAT WILL TAKE ME SIX MONTHS TO RECOVER. SO AFTER NEXT JUNE I WILL BE GOING TO FLA. AND THE HATERS WILL ALL BE HAPPY. SO WILL I.

I AM STARTING A NEW POST TO PUT THESE GUIDELINES FOR DUI GRANTS THAT THE STATE OF CT DOT GIVES TO THE MUNICIPALITIES-CHESHIRE CT INCLUDED.  YOU CAN STILL REFER TO THE POST BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

 

UNDER FEATURED VIDEO: A GOOD VIDEO OF AN OFFICER’S DASH CAM DUI STOP WHICH WAS INVESTIGATED BY INTERNAL AFFAIRS. THE DUMB ASS COP FORGETS HE IS BEING RECORDED ON VIDEO AND AUDIO-I GUESS THEIR POLICE DEPT’S AUDIO WORKS ALL THE TIME-LISTEN AT THE END WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT GIVING DUI’S TO ANOTHER OFFICER SO THEY CAN GET THE GRANT MONIES. YEP I CAN BET MY LUCKY STARS THAT HALF OF THESE SO-CALLED DUI’S ARE JUST THAT-SO CALLED- TO QUALIFY FOR GRANT MONIES. IF YOU READ THE DUI GRANT GUIDELINES BELOW-YOU KNOW WHY ALL THESE COPS GO FISHING FOR DUI’S-THEY WANT THE GRANT MONEY. REMEMBER ALL MOTOR VEHICLE STOPS ARE A PRETENSE TO DUI-THEY JUST USE ANY EXCUSE TO TRY TO GET YOU FOR A DUI BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THE MONEY IS

WELL GUESS WHAT CHESHIRE, HOPEFULLY NOT FOR LONG.

CLICK HERE FOR A RECENT CASE-GREEN v THROCKMORTON-WHERE A WOMAN FALSELY ACCUSED OF DUI WAS ACQUITTED BY A JUDGE AND SUED. SHE COULD NOT PASS THE FIELD SOBRIETY TEST=AS MOST PEOPLE CANNOT-I AM SURE MY 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER COULDN’T AND BELIEVE ME, THE WAY I FELT THE PAST FEW DAYS WITH DIZZINESS FROM HORMONES AND WOMEN KNOW WHAT I MEAN-I PROBABLY COULDN’T PASS IT EITHER. I WONDER HOW MANY OF THE SO CALLED “DUI ARRESTS” ARE EVEN LEGAL AND WHAT THE OUTCOME OF THESE ARRESTS ARE. THERE IS AN INCENTIVE TO GET AS MANY DUI’S WHETHER THEY STICK OR NOT-IT IS JUST STATISTICS-TO QUALIFY FOR THE ST OF CT DOT GRANT WHICH WILL SOON BE COMING TO AN END FOR CHESHIRE, CT. I DON’T CARE WHAT OTHER TOWNS DO-OTHER TOWNS POLICE DEPARTMENTS DON’T HARASS ME AND MY FAMILY FOR HAVING A BLOG THEY DON’T HAPPEN TO LIKE.

HERE IS THE WORDING OF THE DUI GRANT GUIDELINES AS POSTED ON THE CT DOT WEBSITE:

 Policies and Procedures for

DUI Enforcement Grants

 

 

General Information

 

The Comprehensive DUI Enforcement program has been modified.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations’ (NHTSA) mobilization campaigns (Holiday enforcement periods) and the Expanded DUI enforcement program are now combined into one application.  The following information is designed to inform you of the revised policies and procedures relating to the DUI Enforcement Program.

EDITORS NOTE: “EXPANDED DUI ENFORCEMENT” MEANS OTC DRUGS OR PRESCRIPTION DRUGS-UNDER THE INFLUENCE-LIKE IF I DROVE THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT STONED ON VICODIN-I COULD BE ARRESTED FOR DUI-UNDER THE INFLUENCE-NOT JUST ALCOHOL-IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT LICENSE CHECKS.

 

  • Do not alter the application.

 

  • This application is intended to SUPPLEMENT your municipalities existing DUI activities based on a well documented identified problem in your municipality.

 

  • You must have received a letter from the Department of Transportation stating that your project has been approved before you can conduct any enforcement activity that you will be claiming for reimbursement.  Under no circumstances will any enforcement activities, prior to the approval date indicated in the approval letter from the Connecticut Department of Transportation, be eligible for reimbursement.

 

  • The DUI Enforcement Program is data driven.

 

  • Municipalities should not assume that they will be funded based on previous years awards.

 

  • This application includes the NHTSA mobilization periods of; Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day and includes Expanded DUI activity.

 

Data (Previous 3 Years’ Data)

 

  • Your local municipality’s alcohol-related impaired driving problem statistics must be included in your application.

 

  • Include your alcohol-related crashes, fatalities and injuries in your problem ID statement.  Also include your DUI arrests data – contact CT DOT Accident Records Office at (860)594-2087.

 

  • Only data that occurs on your local roads will be admissible as sufficient problem ID.

 

  • Crash data included in applications from interstate highways will not be taken into consideration when reviewing your application.

 

Operations

  • Submit specific days that you wish to conduct DUI enforcement (i.e. do not list “the week of May 1-7”).

 

  • You must notify the impaired driving program coordinator once per month of any changes to scheduled enforcement.

 

  • Defined core hours for enforcement are 5:00 p.m. Thursday to 4:00 a.m. Sunday.

 

  • Shifts are a maximum of 8 hours per shift.

 

  • You may select any 8 hour time frame within the program parameters to conduct your daily enforcement.

 

  • Calls for service/assistance that are not DUI-related cannot be billed to the project.

 

Checkpoints

  • You may utilize a maximum of 8 personnel including supervision.

 

  • The checkpoint may be no longer than 8 hours.

 

  • A checkpoint is defined as an operation in a fixed location where motor vehicle operators (including motorcyclists) are stopped and interviewed to establish if they are operating while impaired.

 

  • Saturation/roaming patrols are not considered checkpoints – they are considered to be patrols and must be reported as such.

 

Reporting            

 

  • You must submit project data to the impaired driving program manager for each of the following 4 periods:

 

1)      Project inception date through January 1, 2013

2)      January 3, 2013 through May 27, 2013

3)      May 30, 2013 through  July 27, 2013

4)      August 1, 2013 through September 17, 2013

  • You may report your data on a monthly basis, however at a minimum you must report according to the above schedule.

 

Claims Submission

 

  • Claims must be submitted four times a year. Claims against your project must be submitted 30 days after each mobilization according to the following schedule:

1)      February 1, 2013

2)      July 1, 2013

3)      September 1. 2013

4)      October 1, 2013

 

  • Claims must have the required support documentation in order to be processed.

 

  • Completed and signed “Highway Safety Time Sheets and Activity Reports” and “Sobriety Check Point Sheets and Activity Sheets” MUST accompany these claims.

 

  • All time sheets must be original signed sheets.  Signature stamps are not acceptable and will be returned to the grantee.

 

  • Under no circumstances may an employee sign their own time sheet as employee and as the supervisor.

 

HERE IS THE WORDING IN ITS ENTIRETY OF THE PRESS RELEASE FOR THE MAY 24 2013 DUI CHECKPOINT THAT NEVER OCCURRED:

NOTICE THE WORDING IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH: “OFFICERS WILL ALSO CHECK DRIVERS FOR PROPER LICENSING.”

THERE IS NO SUCH MENTION OF LICENSE CHECKS IN THE CT DOT DUI SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT GUIDELINES.

A COPY OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT HAS BEEN PRINTED OUT AND WILL BE HANDED IN PERSON TO THE CT DOT OFFICIALS.

 

On Friday, May 24, 2013, the Cheshire Police Department will be conducting roadside sobriety checkpoints between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. on state roads within the Town limits.

The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized checkpoints are conducted.

Officers will be contacting drivers passing through the checkpoint for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment. Officers will also check drivers for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving.  Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, license suspension, and insurance increases, as well as fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000.

In 2011, over 10,000 people were killed nationally in motor vehicle traffic crashes that involved at least one driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher.

 

MORE FOI VIOLATIONS

  • By: Cindy

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA-AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS-ONE NATION-UNDER GOD-INDIVISIBLE-WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

A LONG-TIME SUPPORTER AND FRIEND OF UNDERGROUND TOWN HALL HAS PASSED AWAY AND I AM SO SO SAD. THIS PERSON HAS BEEN WITH ME SINCE 2002. HE WAS A PEACEFUL PERSON-A FLOWER CHILD. OUR DAYS ARE COMING TO AN END-BUT I AM HAPPY FOR WHAT WE WERE-AND WHAT WE BELIEVED IN-AND WE STOOD OUR GROUND. THEY CAN NEVER BEAT US-BECAUSE OUR BELIEFS WERE INGRAINED INTO US WHEN WE WERE 10 AND 11 YEARS OLD. AND THEY WILL NEVER LEAVE US-EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL-EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL-CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL.

FOR WHAT ITS WORTH-BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD (1967)

WE JUST DEFENDED THE BILL OF RIGHTS TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION THE FOURTH AMENDMENT  AND YOUR RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN  WITHOUT PICKING UP A WEAPON OR FIRING A SINGLE SHOT.

I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down-BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD-”FOR WHAT ITS WORTH”

WE HAD PEOPLE GOING OUT FROM 6:30 P.M AND AS OF 10 P.M. THERE WAS NO DUI ROADBLOCK IN CHESHIRE, CT ON FRIDAY, MAY 24. NOW I KNOW I WENT OUT TO THE STORE AROUND 3:30 AND RT 10 IN FRONT OF THE JAIL WAS BLOCKED OFF FROM AN ACCIDENT-THE POLICE WERE DETOURING PEOPLE DOWN JARVIS ST. AS OF 5:45 THE POLE THAT FELL WAS REMOVED AND CL&P CREWS WERE CLEANING UP DEBRIS BUT THE SOUTHBOUND LANE WAS PASSIBLE-THEY WERE DETOURING PEOPLE DOWN COUNTRY CLUB LANE ON THE NORTHBOUND SIDE-AS OF 7 P.M BOTH LANES WERE PASSIBLE. I DON’T KNOW IF THAT CANNED THE ROADBLOCK BUT I DOUBT IT-ONE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANOTHER-THE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING ON OTHER ROADS-NO WORSE THAN ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND THEY DON’T USE PCP’S IN THE TRANSFORMERS ANYMORE SO IT WASN’T A HAZARD ISSUE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK HAPPENED BUT THEY WILL NEVER ADMIT TO IT-THE LANGUAGE THE POLICE USED IN THE PRESS RELEASE WAS NOT IN THE GRANT WHICH I NEVER COULD SEE-I GOT THE RUN AROUND-ON THURSDAY. YOU SEE, IT GOES LIKE THIS-IF I WRITE ON THIS BLOG THAT I AM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE-I AM NOT- JUST AN EXAMPLE-EVEN THOUGH I NEVER FOLLOW THROUGH-MY LANGUAGE ALONE WILL GET ME ARRESTED.

EVEN IF THE COPS NEVER CHECKED FOR A PROPER LICENSING-NOT ONE PERSON-THE LANGUAGE THEY USED INSINUATES THAT THEY WILL CHECK. ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS TO READ THE LANGUAGE WHICH IS ILLEGAL IF THAT WORDING IS NOT IN THE GRANT. I DON’T KNOW. BUT I WILL BE GOING TO THE CT DOT AND GETTING A COPY OF THE GRANT THAT I COULD NOT GET FROM THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT. WE WILL TRY ONE MORE TIME NEXT WEEK TO GET THE GRANT AND COMPARE IT WITH THE CT DOT GRANT. IF WE DON’T GET A COPY FROM CHESHIRE, CT WE WILL FILE FOR ANOTHER FOI HEARING.

THEY JUST DON’T LEARN DOWN THERE. SOME PEOPLE NEED TOUGH LOVE. AND THIS IS “YOUR TAX MONEY BEING SPENT FOR NOTHING-ALL THEY HAD TO SAY WAS : OK HERE IS A COPY OF THE GRANT. BUT NO-I GOT DANCED AROUND AGAIN. AND YOU KNOW WHY? HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET THE STATE TO EXAMINE THE PAST GRANT MONIES THAT WERE GIVEN TO THE POLICE WITH THIS CHECKPOINTS AND SEE THE LANGUAGE OF THE GRANT WHICH HAS TO BE FOLLOWED TO THE TEE. TELL PEOPLE IT IS A SOBRIETY SAFETY CHECKPOINT WHEN THE GRANT SPECIFICALLY STATES THE MONIES IS TO BE USED ONLY FOR SOBRIETY IS FRAUDULENT-WE WILL FIND OUT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND THEN HOPEFULLY THE STATE WILL DENY THEM ANY MORE GRANT MONIES -THEY DID THIS TO THEMSELVES.

IT IS LEGAL TO HAVE A SAFETY CHECKPOINT-I.E. SEATBELT-BUT THE COPS CAN’T ASK “HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING” AT A SAFETY OR SHOULD I SAY-SEATBELT CHECKPOINT. HOWEVER, IF I ARRIVE AT THE SEATBELT CHECKPOINT SMELLING OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS CAN BE SEEN IN PLAIN SIGHT ON MY SEAT OR FLOOR OF THE CAR- I CAN BE ARRESTED FOR DUI OR DRUGS-BECAUSE IT WAS IN PLAIN SIGHT TO THE OFFICER. THAT IS LEGAL.

I WILL GET A COPY (PROBABLY FROM CT DOT) OF THE GRANT AND THE LANGUAGE AND I DON’T THINK “PROPER LICENSING” WAS INCLUDED. BECAUSE YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THEY WERE GOING TO ASK PEOPLE FOR THE DRIVER LICENSES WHEN THE CHECKPOINT JUST SAID “SOBRIETY.” AND THAT IS ILLEGAL SEIZURE UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. THE CT DOT WAS INFORMED-THE COMMISSIONERS OFFICE-THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE THE GRANT-IF WE DON’T GET IT NEXT WEEK-ANOTHER FOI HEARING WILL BE TAKING PLACE.

I GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU.

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TOUCH MYSELF OR MY FAMILY EVER AGAIN-COUNT ON IT-SAY OR DO WHAT YOU WANT-FOLLOW ALL YOU WANT-YOU WILL BE DESTROYED LEGALLY-I WILL FIGHT UNTIL I AM ON MY DEATHBED-YOU ARE FINISHED.

HELLO-500 HIGHLAND AVENUE AND ALL THE REST OF YOU OUT THERE WHO DON’T GRASP THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS 4th AMENDMENT-CLICK HERE AND GET A LESSON ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT “IN PLAIN SIGHT” AND HOW LONG CAN A PERSON BE DETAINED AT A TRAFFIC STOP-JUST LONG ENOUGH TO WRITE THE TICKET NOT A HALF HOUR TALKING ABOUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.  AND A TRAFFIC STOP WHERE MY PURSE WAS SEARCHED A FEW YEARS AGO-ILLEGAL. LEARN THE LAW OR PAY THE PRICE FROM NOW ON.

THE ARTICLE HAS A TYPO-WHERE IT SAYS-IN PLAIN SIGHT-DOESN’T NEED A WARRANT- BUT IN THE CASE WHERE YOU THE COP ARE IN THE LOCAL RESIDENTS HOUSE AND CANNOT SEE THE SUPPLEMENTS ON THE TABLE IN THE KITCHEN FROM THE LIVING AREA BECAUSE OF A WALL-THAT IS WHERE A WARRANT WAS NEEDED. GOD THESE PEOPLE ARE SO DEAD IN THE WATER LEGALLY, I CAN TASTE IT.

I TURNED MY HEAD LAST YEAR-BUT NO MORE. AND I DON’T NEED A LAWYER I CAN FILE SUIT MYSELF. D HAS TO OBEY THE CONSTITUTION AND PEOPLES RIGHTS AND STILL MANAGES TO COLLECT MILLIONS OF UNPAID EMPLOYER TAX  EVERY YEAR, HE IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST TAX COLLECTORS IN THE STATE – SO PEOPLE CAN COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. YOU DO THE SAME OR BE SUED IN PLAIN ENGLISH. DO YOU THINK HE COULD SAY TO SOMEONE: IF YOU DON’T SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS I WILL RIP OUT OUT OF YOUR OFFICE? HE WOULD HAVE FIRED IN PLAIN ENGLISH. WALKING ON REAL THIN ICE OVER THERE.

I DID CONTACT THE CT DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION ON FRIDAY AND RECEIVED CONTACT INFORMATION AND PHONE NUMBER FOR AN “E.H.” WHO IS ONE OF TWO PEOPLE WHO UNDERWRITE THESE “SOBRIETY” CHECKPOINT GRANTS.  I SPOKE WITH THE COMMISSIONERS OFFICE WHO ARE NOW GOING TO BE LOOKING INTO THESE “SOBRIETY” CHECKPOINTS-LIKE ARE THEY REALLY STOPPING OR PULLING OVER IMPAIRED DRIVERS OR HAS IT DEGENERATED INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE VIOLATION CHECKPOINT.

LOOK, THE COURTS ARE SET UP TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM HARM. NOT A DRIVER LICENSE WHICH IS INCORRECT-IT SHOULD STATE AS IT USED TO “OPERATOR’S LICENSE” BECAUSE A “DRIVER” IS A PROFESSIONAL-I.E. CAB DRIVER; LIMOSINE DRIVER; BUS OR COACH DRIVER; TRUCK DRIVER; YOU ARE NOT PAID TO DRIVE YOUR CAR. ANYWAY, NOT HAVING A DRIVER LICENSE IS NOT HARMING ANYONE-IT IS WRONG-BUT YOU COMING TO THIS STATE AND NOT REGISTERING YOUR OUT OF STATE VEHICLE AFTER 30 DAYS IS WRONG ALSO-BUT YOU DO IT-SO DON’T POINT FINGERS. BESIDES, WHOM ARE YOU PHYSICALLY HARMING? NO ONE-AND THE COURTS NEED TO STOP PROSECUTING VICTIMLESS CRIMES.

WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE COMMISSIONERS OFFICE AT DOT THEY WERE LIKE-YES-WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS-BECAUSE IT IS MIS-APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. IT IS AKIN TO ME GETTING A STUDENT LOAN AND TAKING THE MONEY AND BUYING A CAR WITH IT AND TELLING THE GOVERNMENT-OH IT IS CONNECTED, BECAUSE I NEEDED A CAR TO GET TO SCHOOL.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR ANSWER WOULD BE-SO WHY SHOULD IT BE ANY DIFFERENT WITH AUTHORITY. ALSO, WHY WOULD YOU HAVE  A “SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT” AT 6 P.M. ON A WEEKNIGHT-ALBEIT A FRIDAY AFTERNOON. WOULDN’T YOU HAVE THE CHECKPOINT FROM LIKE 11 P.M. TO 4 A.M. WHEN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THE BARS AND NIGHTCLUBS AND DRIVING HOME FROM THEM AFTER THEY CLOSE-I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE A LOT MORE EFFECTIVE.

WELL, I BE PURSUING THIS UNTIL THE GRANT MONIES ARE ELIMINATED-IF THE POLICE ARE NOT GOING TO DO SOBRIETY AND STRICTLY SOBRIETY-THEN GOODBYE. GRANT MONIES.

“OH WHAT IF A FELON WITH AN OUTSTANDING WARRANT COMES THROUGH?” WELL TOO BAD-USE YOUR RESOURCES AND GET THE PERSON ANOTHER WAY. THIS IS A FREE SOCIETY, LEARN HOW TO WORK AROUND IT. WE CAN’T GET EVERYONE-CUT THE SHIT-THIS MONEY IS TO ARREST IMPAIRED DRIVERS, NOT CHARLES MANSON.

YOU SEE WHAT YOU STARTED? AND I WILL BE PURSUING IT TO THE END. THIS IS WHAT I WAS TRAINED TO DO- I WAS TRAINED BY THE BEST -AND NO BODY DOES IT BETTER.

I hope all young women watch this “The Trouble with Women” video from 1959 and thank people who got out there and complained and changed the way things are for today.  Back then, women could NOT own property-they could NOT get credit-if they worked, THEIR INCOME WAS NOT COUNTED. On my birth certificate-FROM THE 50′s it lists my fathers occupation-MY MOTHER-SHE WORKED-BUT HER WORK WAS NOT LISTED-IT DID NOT COUNT. WOMEN WERE ASKED TO LEAVE THEIR EMPLOYMENT WHEN THEY BECAME PREGNANT BECAUSE AFTER FIVE MONTHS IT WAS EMBARRASSING-THEIR PREGNANCY WAS SHOWING.

THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS WOMEN OF TODAY-FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES US OLD WOMEN GAVE TO YOU BECAUSE WE QUESTIONED AND GOT OUT THERE AND ASSERTED OURSELVES.

Well, thanks to MISS-INFORMED-I did go to the Cheshire, CT Police Dept to ask to see the wording on the DUI grant. Well, I did not see the grant but I will try again next week.

Anyway I asked why some cars in the police lot did not have TWO PLATES-because SOMEONE told me all cars need to have two plates.

WRONG-police and public safety vehicles ONLY NEED ONE PLATE. NOW THE COP  GOT MAD AT ME-BUT WHAT ELSE IS NEW. HEY I HAVE KNOWN MANY OF THESE COPS FOR MANY MANY YEARS, ITS ALL GOOD-ITS NOT PERSONAL-AS THE MOBSTER TESIO SAID IN THE GODFATHER-ITS JUST BUSINESS.

REMEMBER THAT.

BEFORE I GO-THE CHESHIRE CT POOL STUDY COMMITTEE IS CONSIDERING A PERMANENT STRUCTURE-TENSIONED AS IS FOUND AT THE DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

CLICK HERE TO SEE WHAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO AND NOTE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY-YOU KNOW THAT FLY BY NIGHT COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 150 YEARS AND HAS 112,000 STRUCTURES IN 96 COMPANIES-DUH!

DOES THE COMPANY NAME LOOK FAMILIAR HOMER?

 

NEXT POSTING-AFTER THE DUI CHECKPOINT-IN THE MEANTIME-THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I AM MOVING TO FLORIDA SOON. 

CLICK HERE

I DO HEAR FROM MANY PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY ABOUT THIS BLOG-SOME IS NOT GOOD-SOME IS. DON’T MISUNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO HERE-IT IS ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY, FAIRNESS AND EQUAL TREATMENT UNDER THE LAW. WE CAN’T HAVE THE LAW FOR SOME AND NOT FOR OTHERS. CASE IN POINT-WHAT IF A HIGH RANKING TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT OFFICIAL WAS PULLED OVER AND WAS INTOXICATED. WOULD WE HEAR ABOUT IT?

LET ME PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY: IF OUR BODIES IMMUNE SYSTEM WAS LIKE THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD IN 15 MINUTES. WE CAN’T HAVE EVERYONE ON THE SAME SIDE-DEFENDING PEOPLES ACTIONS OR COVERING UP WHEN IT IS WRONG TO DO SO.  EVEN IN OUR OWN BODIES THERE ARE OPPOSITE FORCES WORKING AGAINST EACH OTHER TO KEEP YOU ALIVE. IT IS NORMAL AND NECESSARY.

 

I FOUND EXACTLY THE REASON WHY THESE PHONY DUI CHECKPOINTS ARE JUST THAT-PHONY EXCUSES FOR THE POLICE TO MAKE THEIR MOTOR VEHICLE TICKET QUOTAS. NOW I KNOW I WILL BE GOING TO NEWINGTON WITH THESE RESULTS AND PROBABLY CHESHIRE’S IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE CT DOT TO STOP GIVING OUT THIS MONEY.

ON MAY 9 2013, THE BERLIN PD HAD A “DUI” AHEM-CHECKPOINT. APPROX 1,250 CARS PASSED THROUGH-THERE WERE NO DUI ARRESTS NONE. HOWEVER, THEY DID CITE 20 PEOPLE FOR NO SEATBELT NO REGISTRATION, NO VALID LICENSE. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE CHECKPOINT AND YOU BEING DETAINED IS FOR. NOT HAVING A REGISTRATION IS WRONG BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO HARM ANOTHER PERSON-NEITHER IS NOT HAVING A LICENSE.

CLICK HERE FOR STORY.

OMG-HERE IS A SHORT SEGMENT FROM 1959 CALLED “THE TROUBLE WITH WOMEN.” IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT-THIS IS WORSE THAN THE GOODYEAR TIRE AD. TALK ABOUT DEGRADING. WOMEN ARE PERCEIVED AND DUMB AND SCATTERBRAINED WHEN IT COMES TO WORKING WITH EQUIPMENT. THEY ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND WHAT A MAN SHOULD BE DOING.

LIKE MY MOM USED TO SAY: “IF A MAN INVENTED IT-IT CAN’T BE TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND.”

YOU DON’T THINK WOMEN WORKED IN PROFESSIONS RIGHT ALONG WITH THE MEN BACK THEN DOES SHE? HELL NO. SOME DID BUT THEY WERE NOT VIEWED AS WOMEN-IF YOU GET MY DRIFT. YOU DON’T THINK YOU DARED DATE INTERRACIAL BACK THEN-OH MY GOD HELL NO. WHEN THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW CAME OUT IN 1970 THAT WAS CONSIDERED A SCANDAL BECAUSE A YOUNG UNMARRIED WOMAN-DARED LIVE ALONE IN HER OWN APARTMENT. NOW MY DAUGHTER JUST LAUGHS BECAUSE NO ONE THINKS ANYTHING OF IT. BUT IF IT WERE NOT FOR PEOPLE QUESTIONING THINGS-YOU MY DEAR-WOULD NOT BE WHERE YOU ARE NOW. BELIEVE ME.

OK – I HAD MANY ASK WHY I TOOK DOWN THE UNDERCOVER LICENSE PLATE NUMBERS OF THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT. AND I HAVE ACQUIRED A FEW MORE-I HONESTLY DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE PUBLISHING THEM- I REALLY DON’T. WE HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES, BUT I DON’T WANT THE POLICE TO BE PUT IN DANGER. IT IS SNEAKY AND UNDERHANDED-BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS -ONE CAR IS CHEVY IMPALA-RED WITH GOLD BOW TIE IN THE FRONT-THE FIRST LETTER OF THE LAST THREE LETTERS IS “Z”; ONE CAR IS  A BLACK FORD TAURUS AND THE FIRST LETTER OF THE LAST THREE LETTERS IS “P” AND THE OTHER CAR IS A DARK BLUE FORD TAURUS FIRST LETTER OF THE LAST THREE LETTERS IS “M.”

I WOULD NEVER PUT AN OFFICER IN DANGER AND I WOULD NEVER PUT MY HANDS ON A OFFICER NO MATTER HOW I FELT-I WILL VERBALIZE BUT THAT IS IT-YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO QUESTION-BUT ONLY GO SO FAR. IT IS BETTER TO COOPERATE WITH THEM, THEN TAKE IT TO COURT AS I DID.

ALSO, I AM WORKING WITH A STATE LEGISLATOR WHO WILL BE GOING THROUGH THE CPD CHECKPOINT ON FRIDAY MAY 24 TO GET THE LAW CHANGED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC-DUI CHECKPOINT SHOULD BE DUI CHECKPOINT AND NOTHING MORE. REMEMBER, THE REAL DRUNKS WILL JUST TURN AROUND WHICH THEY HAVE THE RIGHT UNDER THE SUPREME COURT RULING TO DO-YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE CHECKPOINT IN ADVANCE AND BE ABLE TO TURN AWAY FROM IT-AND REMEMBER MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE GOING THROUGH THIS CHECKPOINT, ESPECIALLY EARLY EVENING AROUND 6 OR 7 P.M. WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE WORKING PEOPLE WHO WILL NOW BE ILLEGALLY SEIZED WITH OUT PROBABLE CAUSE AND THAT IS WHAT BOTHERS ME.  I WILL BE WATCHING ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE FROM A DISTANCE-AND I KNOW AT LEAST 7 PEOPLE WILL BE DRIVING THOUGH-POSSIBLY MORE AND THEY WILL BE FILMING.

AND I WANT TO SEE WHAT THE GRANT SAYS. DOES IT SAY MONEY FOR “SOBRIETY AND LICENSE CHECK CHECKPOINT? OR JUST SOBRIETY? I HAVE  A RIGHT TO SEE WHAT LANGUAGE IS IN THE GRANT-AND IF LICENSE CHECK ISN’ T IN THERE-HOUSTON THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM.

HERE IS A VIDEO OF A “DUI-DRIVER LICENSE CHECKPOINT” I DON’T KNOW WHAT STATE IT IS FROM-BUT THE DRIVER-I DON’T AGREE WITH HIS ATTITUDE-JUST MAKE A STATEMENT-THIS CHECKPOINT IS ILLEGAL UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT BUT I WILL COOPERATE-AND FIGHT THE BATTLE IN THE COURTS AND IN THE LEGISLATURE TO GET THINGS CHANGED SO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTOXICATED GET THE BOOK THROWN AT THEM-NOT HAVE 45 COPS STAND AROUND ALL NIGHT TO MAYBE-MAYBE GET ONE PERSON AND STUFF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKETS-THAT IS THE REAL REASON THEY ARE THERE.

OK, IF NOT-THEN WOULD ANY POLICE DEPT DO A VOLUNTARY (NO PAY) DUI CHECKPOINT IF THEY ARE SO CONCERNED WITH PEOPLES SAFETY?

DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH WAITING FOR AN ANSWER. YOU AND I KNOW THE ANSWER.

DUI LICENSE CHECK-CHECKPOINT AND THE GUY ACTS LIKE AN IDIOT. WITH ME REGARDING THE MS VERMONT ISSUE- SHE ASKED FOR MY LICENSE AND REGISTRATION AFTER I TOLD HER I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HER BEHIND ME-AND NO OTHER REASON WHICH IS ILLEGAL UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AND SHE KNOWS THIS SHE ISN’T STUPID. IF SHE HAD FIRST SAID-I DID NOT SEE YOU SIGNAL WHEN YOU PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD- CAN I SEE YOUR LICENSE-NOW SHE HAD PROBABLE CAUSE. IT WAS HER FIRST STATEMENT OUT OF HER MOUTH WHICH WAS ILLEGAL. YOU WOULDN’T HAVE THE BALLS TO SAY ANYTHING-EVEN QUESTION-BUT I DID QUESTION-AND I EVENTUALLY GAVE HER THE LICENSE FOUGHT IT I COURT-FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST HER AND EVERYTHING WAS DROPPED. AND JUST ABOUT EVERY STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE ACLU KNOW ABOUT THIS INCIDENT.

BOTTOM LINE-KEEP LOOKING FOR TROUBLE-YOU FIND IT-MISSY.YOU CAN TELL THE DRIVER IN THIS VIDEO IS NOT COMFORTABLE DOING WHAT HE IS DOING-HIS FRIEND TALKED HIM INTO IT-TAKE A LOOK AT HIS FACE. DON’T EVER PLAY AUTHORITIES GAME-PLAY YOUR GAME- AND THEY LOSE. IT IS NOT WORTH GETTING ARRESTED OVER THIS -THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT-TAKE CONTROL AND I KNOW HOW TO DO IT-MAKE THEM HAVE TO OBEY YOU. USE THE FLAWS IN THE SYSTEM TO WORK AGAINST ITSELF-AND BELIEVE ME-IT DOES.

OH I LOVE THE “YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR INTERFERING WITH OUR DUTIES.” WELL GUESS WHAT COP-YOU SHOULD BE UNDER ARREST FOR INTERFERING WITH OUR TRAVEL.  WHAT AN ASSHOLE.  THAT REMINDS OF ME OF WHAT I GOT TOLD BY THE OFFICER WHEN I WAS RIDING MY MOPED LEGALLY AND I GOT PULLED OVER AND ISSUED A TICKET LAST YEAR FOR A BICYCLE-”IF I SEE IT AGAIN I WILL IMPOUND IT.” REAL NICE-THAT GOT NOLLED ALSO AND AN APOLOGY LETTER SENT BY THE POLICE DEPT IN CHESHIRE, CT  OK? REAL NICE ATTITUDE. THEY GOT A REAL PROBLEM DOWN THERE AND SOME PEOPLE ON THE TOWN COUNCIL BETTER GET WISE. THIS TOWN IS A DISASTER BECAUSE OF THEM.

I AM SENDING WS DEVELOPMENT A LETTER WITH ALL OF THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE CLOSED BECAUSE OF THE ATTITUDE OF THE CPD AND THEIR TICKET INFATUATION-ASKING THEM NOT TO GO AHEAD WITH THEIR PLANS FOR THE OUTLET STORES IN CHESHIRE CT BECAUSE THE STORES WILL CLOSE FOR LACK OF BUSINESS. YOU CAN BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR-EVERY COP WILL BE PLANTED UP THERE HARASSING PEOPLE-DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WITH THEIR LICENSE PLATE READERS AS THEY DO AT THE STOP AND SHOP LOT-I NOTICE THEY DON’T DO IT AT EVERYBODY’S-WHY? BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE ARE FROM ELIM PARK. WHEN I FIND OUT WHO THE ANCHOR STORES WILL BE-I WILL BE SENDING THEM LETTERS TOO.

AND WHEN ONE OF THEM TALKS ON WORK DETAIL DUTY AND IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION-I AND A FEW OTHERS CALL. WE CALLED CL&P TODAY AND REPORTED ONE OF THE COPS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. BELIEVE ME-YOU WANT YOUR MONEY-YOU WILL OBEYMY COMMANDS. NICE.

 

I BELIEVE IN NOTHING MORE STRONGLY THAN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE FIRST 10 AMENDMENTS AND  I WILL DEFEND THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

SLOWLY BEING TAKEN AWAY-BY GOVERNMENT CONDITIONING:

JAMES MADISON AND THOMAS JEFFERSON-ROLL OVER IN YOUR GRAVES. WHEN I GO THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT, I WILL RIP IN HALF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT-FOR IT MEANS NOTHING ANYMORE.

SAD. AND WHAT IS EVEN SADDER-MANY OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE DON’T EVEN REALIZE THEIR RIGHTS-THANKS TO THE I-PHONE AND WHATEVER THE HELL ELSE THEY HAVE THEIR HEADS STUCK IN. WHY DO THEY THINK THEY DON’T GET THE FOLLOWING LETTER:

GREETINGS FROM UNCLE SAM

THE LETTER TELLING YOU -YOU ARE DRAFTED.

WOMEN  CAN NOW WORK IN FIELDS EVEN 30 YEARS AGO WERE SCOFFED AT-PEOPLE CAN FEEL FREE TO MARRY WHOM THEY WANT WITHOUT FEAR-GUESS WHO YOU CAN THANK?

I DID HEAR FROM SEVERAL READERS WHO SAID THEY WERE STILL GOING TO GO THROUGH THE DUI CHECKPOINT IN CHESHIRE,CT ON FRIDAY MAY 24 FROM 6 P.M. TO 2 A.M AND ANOTHER WHO SAID THEY WERE GOING TO FILM THE CHECKPOINT TO MAKE SURE THE STOPS ARE IN AN INCONSISTENT PATTERN. I WILL BE MONITORING THE CHECKPOINT FROM A FAR ENOUGH AWAY ADVANTAGE.

LOOK, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING DRUNK DRIVERS OFF OF THE ROAD-AND THEY SHOULD BE OFF THE ROAD PERMANENTLY. I COULDN’T DRIVE WITH A MEDICAL WITHDRAWAL OF LICENSE BUT A DRUNK-AND THE ONE THAT HIM ME A FEW YEARS GO-WAS IN THREE DIFFERENT COURTS AT THE SAME TIME-WAS ALLOWED TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH A WORK PERMIT.

ARE WE GOING TO THROW THE BOOK AT THESE PEOPLE-OR JUST SEE IT AS A CASH COW FOR THE STATE. IF THESE DUI CHECKPOINTS WERE WORKING, AND THE COURTS WERE PUNISHING THESE PEOPLE APPROPRIATELY, THERE WOULDN’T BE ANY MORE PEOPLE DRIVING DRUNK.

THESE CHECKPOINTS ARE DETERIORATING INTO OTHER REASONS TO ILLEGALLY DETAIN YOU-OH LET ME SEE YOUR LICENSE-LET ME SEE IF YOU HAVE  A WARRANT-WHAT’S NEXT-A NOT ENOUGH TREAD ON YOUR TIRES CHECKPOINT-RIPPED SEAT CHECKPOINT-RUSTED CAR BODY CHECKPOINT? YOU WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE SCREAMING FOUL IF A COP JUST DECIDED ON A SPUR OF THE MOMENT TO PULL YOU OVER FOR NO REASON-NO PROBABLE CAUSE-DETAIN YOU AND ASK FOR YOUR LICENSE-WHAT YOU ARE DOING, WHERE YOU ARE GOING-BECAUSE BASICALLY-THAT IS WHAT THESE CHECKPOINTS ARE-DETAINING WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE.

YOU DON’T THINK THE GOV’T IS CONDITIONING YOU? WELL CONSIDER THIS: WOULD YOU HAVE PAID $2 A GALLON FOR GAS IN 1970? OR EVEN 1980? HELL NO-YOU WOULD BE FLIPPING MAD. NOW YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY: DAMN-I JUST GOT GAS AT THE STOP AND SHOP GAS STATION FOR $3.39 CENTS-BOY WAS THAT CHEAP.

EXACTLY.

PLEASE GO THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE AND REMEMBER ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS WHO DIED DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION ESPECIALLY THE FOURTH AMENDMENT-THAT YOU ARE NOW ALLOWING THE GOVERNMENT TO DEFILE. YES, IT IS EASIER TO CATCH LAW BREAKERS THIS WAY-BUT REMEMBER, THERE IS ALSO NO CRIME IN NORTH KOREA. ANY TAKERS?

IMPORTANT–THE TOWN OF WINDSOR CT-WHICH BASICALLY IS THE SAME SIZE AS CHESHIRE CT AND THE SAME POPULATION-BUT DOESN’T LET  NINE PEOPLE DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR 29,000 PEOPLE AND LET AN UNELECTED OFFICIAL CALL ALL OF THE SHOTS HAD A TOWN ELECTION TO DECIDE THE BUDGET-THEIR  APPROXIMATE $101 MILLION FY 13/14 BUDGET WAS DEFEATED.

Town of Windsor Budget Referendum Results

SHALL THE ANNUAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2014 IN THE AMOUNT OF $101,299,250 AS RECOMMENDED BY THE WINDSOR TOWN COUNCIL BE ADOPTED?

Yes: 1,164

No: 1,798

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. PAY ATTENTION CHESHIRE, CT AND LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE THE BUDGET AND THE POOL. WATCH THE TC AND THE TM WRANGLE THEIR WAY AROUND THAT ISSUE-(THE POOL) SO IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE DECIDED BY THE VOTERS.

UPDATE: I ALWAYS TRY TO RESEARCH AND ASK FOR OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS. SO, AS FAR AS CAN BE DETERMINED THROUGH SUPREME COURT CASES, AN CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE DUI CHECKPOINT AND LICENSE CHECKPOINT ARE LEGAL AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT PRE-DETERMINED.

REMEMBER, I SAID I “THOUGHT” THESE CHECKPOINTS WERE NOT LEGAL AND PRESENTED ARGUMENTS TO BACK UP WHAT I THOUGHT WAS CORRECT. I STILL AND SO DO MANY, BELIEVE THESE CHECKPOINTS ARE ILLEGAL AND THEY ARE-IF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT IS FOLLOWED TO THE TEETH.

I WILL ABIDE BY THE DECISIONS OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT EVEN THOUGH I AND MANY OTHERS DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM. THINGS ARE CHANGING SO FAST-THE GOVERNMENT IS SLOWLY TAKING PEOPLES RIGHTS AWAY. THEY ARE GETTING US USED TO HAVING OUR RIGHTS VIOLATED-JUST LIKE WE ALL GOT USED TO $3.50 CENTS A GALLON GAS WHEN LESS THAN 10 YEARS AGO, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN RIOTS IN THE STREET IF GAS PRICES WERE THIS HIGH.

THE WAY OF LIFE THAT I KNEW AND THINGS I BELIEVED IN ARE SLOWLY DISAPPEARING. BUT I KNOW WHO MY ENEMIES ARE AND I WILL DEAL WITH THEM LEGALLY AT A LATER DATE. THEY ARE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH ANYTHING-BELIEVE ME.  THEY DON’T LIKE THIS BLOG BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHAT A PARTY LIFE THEY HAVE AND THEY CAN WRITE ALL THE SHIT THEY WANT-IT JUST REAFFIRMS THAT I AM RIGHT-BUT SOMEDAY THE PARTY WILL BE OVER WHEN THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT REALIZES THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS TO HAVE PEOPLE GIVE OUT TRAFFIC TICKETS. THEY WILL LEARN-IT IS ALREADY STARTING TO SINK IN-THE OVERTIME IS CUT EVERY YEAR NOW, SINCE I RAN THE MUNICIPAL OVERTIME A FEWS YEARS AGO AND WILL BE RUNNING AGAIN-AND THE MEMORIAL DAY BONANZA USED TO BE DOUBLE TIME AND A HALF -IS NOW JUST DOUBLE  TIME. SO THINGS ARE CHANGING. I HAVE TO TAKE A LOT OF FLAK BUT THAT JUST MEANS THEY ARE BOTHERED BY IT– AND THIS BLOG THAT THEY TRIED TO SHUT DOWN BUT COULDN’T WILL CONTINUE. 

 

I AM GETTING READY FOR THE ROTATOR CUFF SURGERY. THIS WILL BE A TOUGH DEAL BECAUSE MY JAW STILL HURTS FROM THE CROWN LENGTHENING SURGERY BUT I NEED TO GET THIS DONE. I WILL BE IMMOBILIZED FOR UP TO SIX MONTHS-WHICH MEANS NO DRIVING. SO AGAIN, I WILL HAVE TO RELY ON PEOPLE TO TAKE ME PLACES BUT SO BE IT.  THE DOCTOR SAID I CAN TYPE AND USE MY WRIST-BUT NO LIFTING ABOVE THE HEAD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

HERE IS THE VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS THE ROTATOR CUFF TEAR.

OK HERE IS SOMETHING INTERESTING-THE TOWN OF TILTON NEW HAMPSHIRE IS BEGINNING THEIR RECYCLING PROGRAM. THEY WILL BE USING BINS AS CHESHIRE, CT DOES-BUT THEY ARE OFFERING THREE DIFFERENT SIZE BINS: 96 GALLON-64 GALLON AND 35 GALLON BINS.

PHOTOS OF THE THREE-SIZE BINS. MAYBE CHESHIRE CT SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED THE SMALLER BIN-BUT THEN AGAIN, CHESHIRE, CT   DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK. AND TILTON, -IS IMPLEMENTING PAYT-(PAY AS YOU THROW).

TO CHANGE SUBJECTS FOR A BIT-KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, WON THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN 2012. WELL, K-STATE HAS JUST WON THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP IN BASEBALL DEFEATING OKLAHOMA 6-5.  I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE K-STATE UMASS EXHIBITION FOOTBALL GAME AT K-STATE IN OCTOBER BUT IT DEPENDS ON HOW MY SHOULDER SURGERY GOES.

ALSO, I AM PLANNING TO SHOW A FEW OF MY SILENT MOVIES THAT I OWN-I HAVE THE COPYRIGHT TO 75 SILENT MOVIES AND I WAS SHOWING THEM YEARS AGO AT THE WARNER THEATER IN TORRINGTON. I AM MAKING PLANS TO SHOW THEM AGAIN-MARY PICKFORD-ROSCOE “FATTY” ARBUCKLE-HAROLD LLOYD AND  A FEW OF THE KEYSTONE COP SILENT MOVIES TO BOOT. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY-THIS TIME PROBABLY “NEWTOWN” AND “BOSTON STRONG”

MORE ON THIS LATER

HERE IS THE CASE: MICHIGAN STATE POLICE V SITZ REGARDING THE DUI CHECKPOINTS WHICH THE SCOTUS SAID WAS LEGAL. ALSO NOTED IS DELAWARE V PROUSE-WHERE THE SCOTUS (THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES) SAID DETAINING PEOPLE TO ASK FOR DRIVER LICENSES IS ILLEGAL.

THIS IS THE DECISION FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES REGARDING THE ASKING OF DRIVER LICENSES WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE.

In Delaware v. Prouse, supra, we disapproved random stops made by Delaware Highway Patrol officers in an effort to apprehend unlicensed drivers and unsafe vehicles. We observed that no empirical evidence indicated that such stops would be an effective means of promoting roadway safety and said that

“[i]t seems common sense that the percentage of all drivers on the road who are driving without a license is very small, and that the number of licensed drivers who will be stopped in order to find one unlicensed operator will be large indeed.”

440 U.S. at 440 U. S. 659-660. We observed that the random stops involved the

“kind of standardless and unconstrained discretion [which] is the evil the Court has discerned when in previous cases it has insisted that the discretion of the official in the field be circumscribed, at least to some extent.”

THE SUPREME COURT CALLS THIS “EVIL” GO AHEAD-AND DO IT PLEASE-YOU THINK THE FOI HEARINGS ARE COSTING MONEY-WAIT PALS. BESIDES, THE I-PHONE NOW HAS AN APP THAT ALERTS YOU TO ANY POLICE CHECKPOINT SO YOU CAN AVOID IT. AND YOU KNOW THE DRUNKS WILL AVOID THE CHECKPOINT AND ALL US LAW ABIDING PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO DRIVE UP RT 10 TO GET TO OUR DESTINATION, WILL BE STUCK ANSWERING THESE ILLEGAL QUESTIONS. I KNOW THE NAME OF THE APP BUT I WON’T DISCLOSE IT. MY SON HAS THE APP AND IT DID ALERT HIM TO CHECKPOINTS IN VA WHICH WE CONVENIENTLY AVOIDED, NOT BECAUSE WE WERE IMPAIRED, BUT WE NEEDED TO NOT BE ANNOYED AND HAVE OUR RIGHTS VIOLATED BY SOME MORONS ON THE SUPREME COURT WHO NEVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS.

I AM SICK OF IT. LAST YEAR MY CIVIL RIGHTS WERE VIOLATED NOT ONCE BUT TWICE-I WAS ILLEGALLY DETAINED AND GIVEN A TICKET-BECAUSE OF “WHAT APPEARED TO BE” A CELL PHONE.  A FEW WEEKS LATER I WAS ILLEGALLY DETAINED WHEN THE OFFICER ASKED WHY I PULLED OVER AND PARKED-AND I DID SIGNAL-AND THE VIDEO SHOWS IT-AND I SAID “I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH YOU BEHIND ME (AND SHE WAS SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET AWAY, NOT ON MY BUMPER) SHE SAID: “WELL THEN I HAVE TO SEE YOUR LICENSE AND REGISTRATION.” OK? ILLEGAL SEIZURE UNDER THE FOURTH AMENDMENT-THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE SECURE IN THE PERSONS, PAPERS AND EFFECTS AGAINST UNREASONABLE-UNREASONABLE SEARCH AND SEIZURE-SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED.  I DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU SAID TO ME-AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE-ARE NOT REASONABLE REASONS TO DETAIN A US CITIZEN AND  THE POLICE KNEW IT.  I LET IT GO-BUT NO MORE- I AM ON A RAMPAGE WITH THESE PEOPLE NOW AND I WILL WIN GOD STRIKE ME DEAD-I WILL WIN LEGALLY.

 

IF THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT DOESN’T CONTROL THESE CLOWNS-IT IS GOING TO END UP COSTING YOU MILLIONS.

THIS WAS ALL AN EFFORT TO END UNDERGROUND TOWN HALL TO PUT  A PERMANENT DAMPER ON THIS BLOG-AND IT FAILED. IT WILL FAIL AND WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL. NOW IT IS MY TURN AND I WON’T FAIL PAL-I WON’T. .

ALSO: A READER SENT ME A COPY THROUGH FACEBOOK, OF A LETTER HE HAS WRITTEN TO THE CT CHAPTER OF THE NAACP STATING THAT CHESHIRE, CT PD DOES NOT EMPLOY ANY AFRICAN AMERICAN OR ASIAN POLICE OFFICERS AND THERE ARE MANY RESIDENTS OF THAT ETHNICITY IN THE TOWN. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL INVESTIGATE.

THE COURT CASE FOR THE DUI CHECKPOINTS THAT PREVENTS OFFICERS FROM JUST ASKING FOR YOUR DRIVER LICENSE AT A DUI CHECKPOINT IS MICHIGAN V SITZ. THIS IS A SUPREME COURT RULING. SO PLEASE CHESHIRE, GO AHEAD AND MAKE OUR DAY BECAUSE YOU WON’T SURVIVE THIS LAWSUIT. IS THE TOWN GETTING TIRED OF WRITING CHECKS TO PEOPLE TO COVER FOR THESE PEOPLES ACTIONS?

“OH WE DON’T WANT THIS TO BE PROTRACTED.”

OH YES WE DO-THIS IS THE FOI HEARING THAT JUST WON’T END-IT WILL GO ON AND ON MY FRIEND. IF I WIN I AM UNLEASHING A BARRAGE OF FOI VIOLATIONS NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I AM JUST LIKE A RACEHORSE WAITING AT THE GATE-WAITING FOR ME TO UNLEASH HOLY HELL ON THIS TOWN.

 

UNDER FEATURED VIDEO: “SHELTON CT (SUMMERTIME)”

SHELTON IS A GREAT TOWN-I WORKED THERE FOR MANY YEARS AND ALWAYS FELT SAFE (DESPITE WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK). MAYBE THIS PERSON NEEDS TO VISIT SHELTON AND FIND OUT HOW IT REALLY IS.

I RECEIVED A CHALLENGE FROM AN UNNAMED MEMBER OF THE AUTHORITY, SO WE WILL BE SENDING APPROXIMATELY 20 CARS THROUGH THE ILLEGAL (AND I DON’T CARE WHAT THE SUPREME COURT SAYS OR THE STATE OF CT BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN REVENUE) DUI CHECKPOINT ON FRIDAY, MAY 24  IN CHESHIRE, CT.

BTW: THE TILTON NEW HAMPSHIRE POLICE DEPT IS HAVING A DUI CHECKPOINT ALL NEXT WEEK. THEY SHOULD GET A TON OF DRUNKS UP THERE.

THE PEOPLE WE HAVE ARE DIFFERENCE RACES, DRIVING CARS AND MOTORCYCLES, ALL ARE UP TO DATE WITH LICENSE AND REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE, NO TINTED WINDOWS, NO TAILLIGHT OR HEADLIGHT OUT OR LICENSE PLATE NOT ILLUMINATED BRIGHT ENOUGH AND ALL THAT OTHER PETTY NONSENSE, SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ALL OF THEM WILL BE FILMING AND THEY WERE TOLD TO CO-OPERATE WITH THE POLICE. HOPEFULLY ONE OF THEM WILL FOUL UP AND ASK FOR THE DRIVER LICENSE WHICH THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ASKING FOR AND THE ACLU CAN FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT AND THEY CAN SPEND EVEN MORE MONEY ON LEGAL FEES BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF THIS POLICE DEPT.

MORE ON THIS LATER.

TO MY SUPPORTERS: WE ARE CLOSE TO A MAJOR LEAGUE VICTORY WITH THIS FOI ISSUE. IF THE TOWN APPEALS, I WILL APPEAL. I AM OUT TO HAVE THEM SPEND AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE-AND HOPEFULLY BANKRUPT THE TOWN WITH LEGAL FEES AND FINES.

THESE SMART MOUTH PUNKS ARE GOING DOWN. WE ARE TIRED OF THEIR THREATS- ITS ALL OVER PAL-ALL OVER. YOU ARE GOING TO SLIP UP AND WE ARE GOING TO BE THERE WAITING. TIRED OF THEIR LIES, EXAGGERATIONS, DRAGGING AN 85 YEAR OLD WOMAN OUT OF HER HOME RESULTING IN HER DEATH THREE MONTHS LATER-AN ELDERLY MAN LEFT TO DIE ON THE FLOOR OF HIS HOME BECAUSE SOMEONE COULDN’T BE BOTHERED CHECKING INSIDE THE HOUSE.  THEY ARE INCOMPETENT AND LIARS TO BOOT. THEY LIE ON SWORN STATEMENTS AND RESORT TO SICK PERVERTED ACCUSATIONS. YOU BROTHER ARE GOING TO ROT IN HELL

 

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I AND MY FAMILY WENT THROUGH THE PAST TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF THESE PEOPLE. THINK ABOUT IT-HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? IT IS PRETTY HARD TO SHAKE HAVING YOUR LICENSE WITHDRAWN BUT I REALLY WASN’T SURE WHAT SHE SAID AND THEN GET ISSUED THREE TICKETS WITH FIVE CHARGES ON THEM IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BECAUSE I FILED A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT-”WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CELL PHONE”-I DID NOT HEAR WHAT SHE SAID-AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CELL PHONE-AND THEN GET CITED FOR A BICYCLE VIOLATION FOR RIDING A MOPED. I SEE PLENTY OF PEOPLE RIDING MOPEDS ALL THE TIME IN CHESHIRE, CT AND NOT A COP BOTHERS THEM.

I AM GOING TO FIGHT TO THE END-CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED. FIGHT FOR THE LOCAL RESIDENTS MOTHER WHO HAD NO VOICE AND NO CHOICE WHEN THEY DRAGGED HER OUT-WHY? BECAUSE OF A LOUD TELEVISION AND THAT ELDERLY MAN WHO DIED ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T BE BOTHERED-IT WAS INTERFERING WITH THEIR BULLSHIT TICKET QUOTA. AND ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN THREATENED AND HARASSED BY THEM. I AM NOT GIVING UP UNTIL I WIN-AND I WILL WIN.

CLICK HERE FOR PBS SHOW ON “DUI CHECKPOINTS RAISE SKEPTICISM”

I HAVE A MORE CLEARER ARTICLE THAT STATES THE POLICE CANNOT JUST ASK TO SEE YOUR LICENSE UNLESS THEIR HAS BEEN A VIOLATION (SUSPECTED DUI) AT A DUI CHECKPOINT. I HAVE THIS VERBIAGE BELOW, BUT THIS ARTICLE IS  A LOT MORE EXPLICIT.  HERE IS AN EXCERPT:

In the DELAWARE V PROUSE case, officers were not allowed to make a driver pull over and show his/her license or check the driver’s registration unless the officer noticed signs of intoxication

IF I FIND OUT THE CPD DID THIS AT THE CHECKPOINT- SOME MORE MAJOR LEAGUE ATTORNEY FEES ARE GOING TO BE PUT OUT BY THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE,CT. YOU BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLAR I, THROUGH THE ACLU, WILL BRING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST THE TOWN. AND I WILL BE GOING TO THE CT DOT AND SHOWING THEM THIS RULING ABOUT THE CHECKPOINTS AND HOPEFULLY I CAN PREVENT THEM FROM ISSUING THE GRANT MONEY TO THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT

CLICK HERE FOR ARTICLE

UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO” MICHAEL BADNARIK EXPLAINS THE FOURTH AMENDMENT.

I CAN TELL YOU THIS-WE WILL BE MONITORING WHAT TYPE OF TICKETS ARE GIVEN OUT ON MAY 24 AND 25 IN CHESHIRE CT.  BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 6 P.M. AND 2 A.M.

IF THERE ARE JUST “MOTOR VEHICLE VIOLATION” TICKETS GIVEN, THEN ALL OF THOSE TICKETS, WHICH ARE PUBLIC INFORMATION WILL BE GIVEN OVER TO THE ACLU IF THEIR ATTORNEY MAKES A DETERMINATION THAT ANYTHING OTHER THAN DUI CITATIONS ARE LEGAL. IF THE ACLU RULES THAT THE POLICE CAN CITE FOR DRIVER LICENSE INFRACTIONS, THEY WE WILL ABIDE BY THEIR DECISION. BUT WE WILL BE WATCHING.

MAY 16, 2013-I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM “JEREMY” THE PARALEGAL AT THE CT ACLU WHO PRINTED OUT THE DUI CHECKPOINT ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT. ON THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT WEBSITE. HE SAID HE IS CONCERNED AND IS GOING TO SPEAK TO THE ATTORNEY ABOUT IT. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY COME UP WITH. HOPEFULLY, WE CAN STOP THIS “ILLEGAL” CHECKPOINT BECAUSE IT IS USELESS-THEY DON’T GET ANY DUI’S NOT A ONE AND HAVEN’T OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

HE TOLD ME HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS LANGUAGE  BEFORE (REGARDING THE LICENSE CHECK) IN AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR A DUI CHECKPOINT.

“OH IF WE GET JUST ONE” WELL YOU AREN’T GETTING “JUST ONE.” WHAT WILL HAPPEN, IS THAT A FEW WEEKS FROM THE CHECKPOINT DATE, YOU WILL SEE THE POLICE LOG IN THE PAPERS AND SEE “NO LICENSE” “NO REGISTRATION” ” NO SEATBELT” AND THAT WILL BE MORE THAN LIKELY, FROM THE DUI CHECKPOINT. THIS IS JUST A COVER FOR THE POLICE TO STUFF THEIR POCKETS WITH TAXPAYER MONEY AT $38 A HOUR-AND THEN USE THE CHECKPOINT AS AN EXCUSE TO CHECK FOR OTHER SUPPOSED VIOLATIONS.

THE PROUSE CASE JUST UPHOLDS TRAFFIC CHECKPOINTS, I MISINTERPRETED IT-NOT CHECKING FOR DRIVER LICENSES AT A  DUI CHECKPOINTS. SO DON’T BOTHER CHANGING THE ANNOUNCEMENT CPD, BECAUSE THE ACLU PRINTED IT OUT.

AGAIN: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT (BILL OF RIGHTS).

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

AMEN. GOD BLESS THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. AND I AND MANY OTHERS WILL UPHOLD THIS DOCUMENT TO OUR DEATHS. THEN THEY’LL GO TO THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE AND ACT LIKE A BUNCH OF PHONIES AND CHARGE THEIR OVERTIME TO MARCH IN THE PARADE TO BOOT. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

 

I SPOKE WITH THE CT STATE LEGISLATOR WHO IS INTERESTED IN THESE DUI ROADBLOCKS, ESPECIALLY IN SMALLER COMMUNITIES LIKE CHESHIRE, CT. I HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING DRUNKS OFF OF THE ROAD-NONE. BUT LET’S FACE IT, IN A TOWN LIKE CHESHIRE, THEY HARDLY GET ANY DUI’S AT ALL AND THE POLICE HAVE ADMITTED TO THIS. MOST OF THE TICKETS ARE FOR OTHER OFFENSES WHICH IS ILLEGAL. IF THE POLICE GET A WARRANT, IT HAS TO STATE THE PERSON OR THING TO BE SEIZED. IF THEY HAVE A WARRANT FOR DRUGS AND THEY FIND GUNS ON A PERSON, THEY HAVE TO GET  A SEPARATE WARRANT. THE SAME SHOULD BE TRUE WITH THESE DUI ROADBLOCKS. TEN GET YOU ONE- AND WE WILL BE CHECKING-MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THEIR TICKETS GIVEN OUT THAT NIGHT ON MAY 24 WILL BE FOR “SEATBELTS” OR INVALID REGISTRATIONS OR INVALID OR NO LICENSE. AND HOPEFULLY THIS STATE LEGISLATOR WILL BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE A BILL TO ELIMINATE THIS-IF IT IS A DUI CHECKPOINT THEN GET PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER THE INFLUENCE NOTHING ELSE. THIS IS ONLY A CHANCE FOR THEM TO STUFF THEIR POCKETS FULL OF TAXPAYER MONEY YIELDING LITTLE OR NO RESULT.

THE STATE LEGISLATOR WILL HAVE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS ROADBLOCK IN CHESHIRE, CT. I ALSO HEARD FROM A MAN WHO SAID HE IS GOING TO GO THROUGH THE ROADBLOCK AND FILM. WE WILL BE OBSERVING FROM A DISTANCE THE ENTIRE TIME THE ROADBLOCK IS IN EFFECT-6 P. M. TO 2 A.M. AND WE WILL HAVE CAMERAS.

NOW I DID GET A RESPONSE FROM THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT’S ATTORNEY REGARDING THOSE ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS I SENT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION. THEY ARE CRYING IT IS “TOO LATE” AND OH HERE IS A GOOD ONE-THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THAT I MADE UP THE PAPERWORK. THEY CAN’T VALIDATE THEIR AUTHENTICITY.

YOU KNOW WHAT? ARE YOU BLIND. THE PAPERWORK HAS THE TOWN CLERK’S STAMP ON IT? WHAT ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE CHESHIRE POLICE DEPT? THEY ARE EXPERTS AT MAKING UP “STORIES” ON SWORN STATEMENTS. AND DON’T THINK THE ACLU DID NOT GET COPIES OF THOSE DISGUSTING POLICE REPORTS THEY WROTE LAST YEAR-THEY DID AND THEY ALSO GOT A COPY OF THE REPORTS REGARDING THE LOCAL RESIDENT AND HIS MOTHER. ALL OF MY TRAFFIC CHARGES AND THE LOCAL RESIDENTS CRIMINAL CHARGES WERE DISMISSED.

I REALLY WONDER WHAT THE TRACK RECORD IS FOR THE CPD? NOT VERY GOOD I THINK. IF THEY CUT OUT THE CRAP IN THE REPORTS AND STUCK TO TO OR THREE PARAGRAPHS, THEY WOULD MAKE OUT BETTER BECAUSE GUESS WHAT? THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN COURT EACH DAY-THE PROSECUTOR DOESN’T HAVE TIME TO READ “WAR AND PEACE.”

AS WEBSTER BANK USED TO SAY: “THE SIMPLER-THE BETTER.”

 

I AM POSTING UNDER THE “PHOTO” SECTION OF THE BLOG-THE PICTURES I TOOK ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO- OF THE MADISON CT SWIM AND RAQUET CLUB THAT HAS THE INFLATABLE BUBBLE OVER THEIR POOL AND TENNIS COURT. IT HAS A “TUNNEL” CONNECTING THE MAIN BUILDING AND THE BUBBLE AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STRUCTURE FALLING. APPARENTLY NOW THE POOL STUDY COMMITTEE IS LOOKING INTO THIS OPTION AND A “TENSIONED” STRUCTURE-SOUNDS LIKE SPRUNG.  AND A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 150 YEARS AND HAS 112,000 STRUCTURES IN OVER 96 COUNTRIES IS NOT “FLY BY NIGHT.”

UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO” WHAT SHOULD BE THE PENALTY FOR DRIVING DRUNK. I HATE DRUNKS AND I HATE EVEN WORSE WHEN THEY DRIVE. BUT, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE CORRECTLY AT THE DUI CHECKPOINT OR THE PERSON CAN CALL A SAVVY LAWYER AND GET HIS OR HER ARREST OVERTURNED. I SUPPORT THE POLICE ARRESTING DRUNK OR IMPAIRED DRIVERS, BUT I WANT THESE CHECKPOINTS TO BE DONE CORRECTLY. AND SADLY THEY REALLY DON’T CATCH HARDLY ANY DRUNKS. WATCH, THE ARRESTS WILL BE FOR A SEATBELT OR AN EXPIRED LICENSE OR REGISTRATION AND NOT FOR THE INTENDED CHECKPOINT.

A STATE REP IS GOING TO OBSERVE THE CHECKPOINT WITH ME BUT WE WILL BE FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE ACTION BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE THAT EVERYTHING GOES ACCORDING TO THE LAW.

DRIVING DRUNK OR IMPAIRED IS A BIG PROBLEM. I REMEBER A FEW YEARS AGO, A DRUNK DRIVER HIT MY CAR ON THE SOUTHINGTON CHESHIRE LINE AND THEN LEFT THE SCENE. I DID GET HIS LICENSE PLATE NUMBER AND THE CHESHIRE POLICE HAD TO LITERALLY FORCE THE GUY OFF MARION ROAD BECAUSE HE WOULD NOT STOP HE WAS SO DRUNK.

THEN I LEARNED HE (A LAWYER TO BOOT) WAS IN THREE DIFFERENT COURTS AT THE SAME TIME FOR DUI”S CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. I THINK HE GOT THE BOOK THROWN AT HIM. I SORTA LOST TRACK BECAUSE A YEAR LATER HE WAS STILL GOING TO COURT FOR GOD’S SAKE. I HOPE HE LEARNED HIS LESSON.

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, D WAS DRIVING TO NEW HAMPSHIRE ON 495 NEAR MARLBORO MASS AND A DRUNK HIT IS CAR. THE DRUNK HAD A DODGE DURANGO. D HAD THAT OLD 91 CAMRY. D KNOCKED THE DRUNK IDIOT OVER THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO  A DITCH THAT WAS HOW WELL MADE THAT CAMRY WAS. A DURANGO IS A PIECE OF CHEAP MADE SHIT ANYWAY-DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. THE COPS CAME AND THE GUY WAS SO INTOXICATED HE ASKED “WHAT STATE AM I IN.” UNBELIEVABLE.

HOW CAN YOU GET INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU ARE IMPAIRED FOR GOD SAKES? I WAS TAKEN 800 MILLIGRAMS OF MOTRIN AND IT MADE MY DROWSY WHEN I HAD MY GUM OPERATED ON AND I HAD D DRIVE ME, EVEN TO WORK. GIVE ME A GODDDAMN BREAK YOU DRUNK BASTARDS. ROT IN HELL.

OK I SAID I WASN’T POSTING BUT I AM POSTING ANYWAY-WHY?

WELL, I DID FIND OUT SOME CT LAW ON THESE DUI CHECKPOINTS. I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THE STATE LEGISLATORS OFFICE OFFICIAL WHO IS CONTACTING THE CT ACLU REGARDING THE “DRIVER LICENSE CHECK”

HERE IS THE CT LAW:

In Connecticut v. Boisvert (1996), the Connecticut Appellate Court held that roadside sobriety checkpoints do not violate the Connecticut Constitution’s provision protecting people against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Connecticut Supreme Court declined to review the Appellate Court’s decision, making Boisvert the controlling law in Connecticut as it relates to sobriety checkpoints.

In upholding the constitutionally of sobriety checkpoints, both the U.S. Supreme Court and Connecticut’s Appellate Court stated these stops had to be performed in a reasonable manner. In judging what is reasonable, courts generally look to such factors as the length and nature of the stop, the neutral criteria utilized to conduct the stop (no persons were arbitrarily singled out for detention and/or investigation), and whether established, reasonable procedures were followed.

The Connecticut State Policy Administration and Operations Manual provides guidelines for undertaking sobriety checkpoints on state highways. In order for a checkpoint to be reasonable, officers must follow the manual’s guidelines requiring notice of the operation be provided to the media at least three days in advance and officers asking all detained drivers the same initial questions.

Additionally, the chosen location must have a history of traffic violations and accidents, should be a road traveled by potential violators, and be clearly visible and marked by the police. Further, police officers must use a neutral formula for stopping drivers, such as every 8th vehicle. Random stops would not be constitutionally permissible, while well conceived and properly executed checkpoints would be acceptable.

I BELIEVE I FOUND THE ANSWER REGARDING THE DRIVER LICENSE CHECK:–DELAWARE VS. PROUSE

Delaware v. Prouse, 440 U.S. 848, 99 S.Ct. 1391 (1979): us not so much as a solid ruling in favor of such Checkpoints, but rather as an observation by the Court while ruling that Officer could not conduct routine traffic stops of individuals to check their Driver’s Licenses and/or Registrations without some type of articulable suspicion. For those of you who have been in Law Enforcement for a wh
Next in the progression of Traffic Checkpoint cases came toile you will recall the days of stopping motorists just to see if their DL’s were valid. For those of you newer to the profession, you are probably saying: “what?” Yes, in the good old days Officers in some jurisdictions did just stop people to check their Driver’s Licenses and/or Registrations. But, with the advent of Prouse that traffic enforcement technique came to a screeching halt. For our purposes here, the importance of Prouse is that the Court took the time to again explain how the Court differentiated between the degree of 4th Amendment intrusion created by a traffic stop vis-à-vis that created by a fixed Traffic Checkpoint, explaining that a motorist is much less likely to be frightened or annoyed by a Traffic Checkpoint than by a traditional, lights and siren traffic stop. Prouse at 657-658. While I am not sure the ACLU would agree that was the holding of the Court. The Court’s “observation” which is pertinent to this article was that: “[t]his holding does not preclude the State of Delaware or other States from developing methods for spot checks that involve less intrusion or that do not involve the unconstrained exercise of discretion. [FN26] Questioning of all oncoming traffic at roadblock type stops is one possible alternative. We hold only that persons in automobiles on public roadways may not for that reason alone have their travel and privacy interfered with at the unbridled discretion of police officers.” Prouse at 663. So, the Court left the door open a bit for future legitimate Traffic Checkpoints

THAT WAS A TRAFFIC CHECKPOINT-NOT DUI-SO THE JURY IS OUT.

CT IS A BUNGHOLIO STATE.

CHESHIRE, CT PUBLIC WORKS INFORMED ME ON MONDAY, MAY 13 THAT THEY DID PICK UP THE ILLEGALLY DUMPED ITEMS ON RESERVOIR ROAD.

I DID CONTACT A STATE LEGISLATOR-I WON’T SAY WHICH ONE-TO LOOK INTO THE LEGALITY OF THE DUI CHECKPOINT THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE WILL BE CONDUCTING ON MAY 24 FROM 6 P.M. TO 2 A.M.

DESPITE WHAT THE AUTHORITY SAYS, THESE DUI CHECKPOINTS ESPECIALLY IN CHESHIRE, CT HAVE YIELDED LITTLE OR NO VIOLATORS. IN FACT, I MADE A POINT OF ASKING THE PD AT THE BUDGET HEARING LAST YEAR-THEY SAID THEY HAD THREE CHECKPOINTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR AND NO DUI’S WERE GIVEN OUT. I THINK OVER THE  PAST SEVERAL YEARS THEY HAVE ARRESTED ONE OR TWO PEOPLE THE MOST-AND HOW MANY PEOPLE TRAVEL ON RT 10 EVERY DAY?

DON’T TELL ME THIS IS EFFECTIVE-IT ISN’T. THE POLICE ADMITTED ROVING PATROLS BRING FAR SUPERIOR RESULTS THAN DETAINING PEOPLE WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE AND STUFFING ALL SORTS OF TAXPAYER MONIES INTO THEIR POCKETS WHILE PEOPLE ARE BEGGING FOR DECENT JOBS.

I TOLD THE LEGISLATORS OFFICE THAT FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO-THE CHECKPOINT IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOCATED IN AN AREA THAT HAS THE HIGHEST DUI ARRESTS OR FATALITIES (AND PROBABLY RT 10 DOES, I DON’T KNOW). AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO STOP EVERY SINGLE MOTORIST-NOT RANDOM-THAT IS ILLEGAL FROM MY RESEARCH BUT WE WILL GET THE CT ACLU TO COMMENT HOPEFULLY AND I WILL ABIDE BY WHAT THEY SAY.

AS FAR AS THIS LICENSE CHECKING-THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A STAGE 2-THE PRESS RELEASE CLEARLY STATES THE OFFICERS WILL BE CHECKING LICENSES-VIOLATION-CLEAR CUT-OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT-NO PROBABLE CAUSE. THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE-NOT PRIVILEGE-THE RIGHT. AND I AM TIRED OF HEARING “OH WHEN YOU SIGNED FOR DRIVER LICENSE, YOU CONSENTED.

NO YOU DID NOT-YOU DID NOT CONSENT TO HAVE YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATED YOU AND I CERTAINLY DID NOT. AND WE DO HAVE A RIGHT TO FREE TRAVEL. THERE ARE ENOUGH DRUNKS, TEXTERS, SPEEDERS, AND CELL PHONE USERS IN PLAIN SIGHT OUT THERE, WITHOUT HAVING 45 OFFICERS STANDING ON RT 10 ALL NIGHT STUFFING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKETS.

LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY: CAN YOU GO TO WORK AND TELL YOUR BOSS IF HE ASKS: “WHAT DID YOU ACCOMPLISH TODAY?-ANSWER-NOTHING-YESTERDAY-NOTHING-THE DAY BEFORE-NOTHING. I DON’T THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A JOB FOR LONG-BUT IT IS OK FOR A COP TO STAND THERE ALL NIGHT LONG-LITERALLY ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

I WILL GET AN OPINION AND IF I AM CORRECT-THAT ROADBLOCK IS GONE WITH THE WIND.

WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. NOW, OFF I GO.

I AM NOTICING A SLOWING OF THE BLOG. I HATE MY WEBHOSTER. I AM GIVING THEM ONE MORE CHANCE AND THAT IS IT. GOD THEY HAVE THE WRONG NAME-QUICK-IT SHOULD BE SLOW. DAMN THESE PEOPLE. BUT THEN AGAIN, MY TRAFFIC HAS TRIPLED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. BUT HAVE DATABASE, WILL TRAVEL I STILL THINK SOME ENTITY IS TRYING TO TAKE THE BLOG DOWN. WELL-LET YOU TELL YOU PALS, YOU DO AND YOUR WEBSITE IS HISTORY.

NOW I HAVE FOUND EVEN MORE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION VIOLATIONS-I AM SENDING THEM OFF TO THE FOI COMMISSION.  REMEMBER THAT LIST I PUBLISHED A FEW MONTHS BACK OF “NO MINUTES AND OR AGENDAS”?

WELL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE ARE STILL OUTSTANDING AGENDAS AND MINUTES THAT WERE NEVER FILED FROM 2009!

HERE ARE THE MISSING ITEMS FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION IN CHESHIRE, CT:

2009-1.14-NO MINUTES

2010:

2/11- NO AGENDA.

6/10 – NO MINUTES

8/12 – NO MINUTES

11/10 – NO MINUTES

THIS IS BEYOND UNBELIEVEABLE. IT IS DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL. AND TO THINK OTHER MUNICIPALITIES (LIKE WINDSOR) ARE MAKING SURE THEIR AGENDAS AND MINUTES ARE FILED ON TIME. WHY? WHEN ARROGANT CHESHIRE, CT GETS AWAY WITH IT?

HOPEFULLY, NOT FOR LONG.

NOW I WILL BE BUSY FOR A FEW DAYS, SO BY REQUEST, I AM POSTING THE ENTIRE ALBUM: “SYNCHRONICITY” BY THE POLICE.  I HAVE ASKED SOMEONE TO GO OUT TO THE BROAD BROOK RESERVOIR AND TAKE A PHOTO OF A COUCH AND LOVESEAT SOMEONE THREW OVER THERE- BECAUSE THIS TOWN, CHESHIRE, CT, REFUSES TO HAVE THE BULK PICKUP.

THIS IS NEAR THE WATER WE DRINK PEOPLE. WE CANNOT HAVE PEOPLE FISHING, SWIMMING AND THROWING BULK PICKUP ITEMS NEAR THERE. I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE HAD TO CALL THE POLICE ABOUT THESE INCIDENTS BUT I DO CARE ABOUT OUR RESERVOIR AND SO SHOULD YOU.

YOU HAD BETTER PRAY TO WHATEVER GOD YOU BELIEVE IN, TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT THAT YOU WIN THE FOI HEARING BECAUSE IF I WIN I WILL UNLEASE HOLY FOI HELL IN THIS TOWN. I AM GOING TO BANKRUPT THIS ARROGANT,  ANTI-EDUCATION-WE ONLY CARE ABOUT A FEW PRIVELIGED PEOPLE-AND WE DON’T HAVE TO OBEY THE LAW BUT YOU DO-TOWN. I WILL FIRE AND FIRE AND FIRE AND FIRE-FOI, FOI, FOI, FOI, FOI-UNTIL YOU CRACK.

AND YOU WILL CRACK. I AM DOING TO YOU-WHAT YOU DID TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY (AND PROBABLY A LOT OTHERS).

BE BACK IN A FEW.

SOMEONE ASKED WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BLOG-WELL-IT IS TECHNICAL BUT ALL I CAN SAY IS MY WEBHOSTER HAD TO RESTART MY SQL. FROM WHAT I CAN DETERMINE-IT WAS ON THEIR END.

 

FOURTH AMENDMENT-REST IN PEACE

 

THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE WILL BE CONDUCTING ANOTHER WASTE OF TIME USELESS (THEY NEVER GET ANY DUI’S) CHECKPOINT ON FRIDAY MAY 24 ON RT 10.   THIS IS JUST MORE MONEY FOR THEM TO STUFF INTO THEIR POCKETS.  THEY DON’T CATCH ANYONE DRUNK. I DON’T  GET THE POINT OF THESE ROADBLOCKS FOR DUI. AND I WILL CHECK BECAUSE THE SUPREME COURT RULED YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE CHECKPOINT AND HAVE TIME TO TURN AROUND. IF NOT-THE CHECK POINT IS ILLEGAL.

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,shall  not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

THE FOURTH AMENDMENT.

THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE OLD BRITISH “WRITS OF ASSISTANCE” WHICH ALLOWED THE BRITISH TO SEARCH ANY ONES HOME FOR ANY REASON. GUESS WHAT? WE ARE RETURNING FULL CIRCLE TO THOSE DAYS. I DEEPLY BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES-AND UNDERGROUND TOWN HALL DEFENDS THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES EVERY SINGLE DAY.

 

All of these checkpoints are per se violations of the Fourth Amendment but unfortunately only a handful of states including Texas and Iowa, have the balls to say that they are a violation and do not allow them. Nanny state Connecticut is NOT one of these States. In fact, CT is so NANNY-they are going to pass a law which states of you have bamboo growing on your property and it goes over onto your neighbors, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING RID OF IT ON YOUR NEIGHBOR’S PROPERTY.

WHAT IS NEXT NANNIECTICUT? SOME DANDELIONS FROM YOUR PROPERTY BLEW OVER ONTO YOUR NEIGHBORS AND NOW YOU HAVE TO GET RID OF IT.

AS MY DAD USED TO SAY: “KEEP SITTING IN FRONT OF THE TV.”

THIS IS INTERESTING.

In the final analysis, it is now the law that from a narrow Fourth Amendment standpoint, nondiscriminatory sobriety check-points in general are not unreasonable. Bear in mind that other Fourth Amendment problems with sobriety check-points may exist when individual drivers passing through the check-point are asked to pull over.

Police do not have the right, per se, to check driver’s licenses or registrations when the stop is not initiated by a violation.However, where the police have a reasonable suspicion of illegal conduct, even though there is not actual violation of the law they may examine drivers’ licenses or registration.

 

I WILL BE CONTACTING THE CT ACLU REGARDING THIS PRESS RELEASE BY THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT ABOUT THE DUI CHECKPOINT. LOOK, I AM ALL FOR STOPPING PEOPLE DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, BUT THEY CANNOT JUST DETAIN PEOPLE TO CHECK THEIR DRIVER LICENSES. THAT IS ILLEGAL. IF THE PERSON HAS VIOLATED ANOTHER LAW-IN THIS CASE THE DUI-THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN THE POLICE DO A DRIVER LICENSE CHECK.

NOW HERE IS AN ARTICLE THAT SAYS THE POLICE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE YOUR DOCUMENTATION AT THE ROADBLOCK. OH ALL OF THIS IS ILLEGAL IN MY OPINION AND MANY OTHERS. IT VIOLATES THE “PROBABLE CAUSE” SECTION OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT WHICH IS GETTING TO MEAN NOTHING IN THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE. SAD. THE ROADBLOCKS ARE JUST SET UP TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE. WELL, I WILL BE GETTING PEOPLE FROM THE ACLU TO DRIVE THROUGH THAT ROADBLOCK TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE LEGALLY. PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEY WILL GO OUT AND FILM TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DONE ON THE UP AND UP. IMAGINE MAKING SURE THINGS ARE DONE “LEGALLY” AT AN ILLEGAL EVENT.

SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE UNITED STATES THESE DAYS.

HERE IS A STATEMENT FROM A FRIEND WHO IS EMPLOYED BY THE CT ACLU AND WHO WILL BE GOING THROUGH THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT’S ROADBLOCK ON MAY 24TH.

Roadblocks are usually established in locations that prevent easy avoidance, offer ample parking for interrogating suspected law violators and issuing tickets, and usually in places and during times that will not cause serious traffic tie ups, although there have certainly been exceptions.

The stated purposes of roadblocks are usually legalized excuses to stop and scrutinize motorists for which there would otherwise be no reason to do so. These excuses include “sobriety checks,” license and registration verification, possession of insurance, proof of citizenship, and seatbelt usage.

The desired effect is to establish a sense of fear and intimidation among the population. The pity is that it works, as far as the “desired effect” is concerned.

Even if the courts disallow roadblocks for certain purposes, e.g. the recent cases prohibiting roadblocks from being used to identify drug users or couriers, the enforcement agencies just claim another purpose for the roadblocks and it’s business as usual. The courts have gone out of their way to allow the police great latitude in what they can do, once they have you stopped and under their control.

The point of the above discussion is to suggest that you engage the roadblock process from the standpoint that the current courts find them legal and a legitimate law enforcement tactic. Therefore, there is little to gain by launching into a tirade over the constitutionality of roadblocks, at least while you are stopped at one.

However, this is not to say that all your rights are null and void once you enter a roadblock.

First, the police do not have the authority to search you or your vehicle, not without probable cause that you have, or are committing a crime. They may ask your permission for a search — which means they do not have legal grounds to force a search.

Never permit a voluntary search of your person or your vehicle. The police may try to cajole you into permitting a search. The old ruse, “if you don’t have anything to hide, why object to a search?” should be ignored, or met with a response that you value your right to privacy and do not consent to a search of your vehicle.

If, under any set of circumstances, the police force a search of your vehicle, assume the worse case scenario. If they can’t find anything illegal in your vehicle, they may place something in your vehicle that will justify their search.

This is a sad commentary on the state of affairs, but these events should be expected in a society that employs police state tactics to intimidate common citizens.

Often, an involuntary search is preceded by another form of search, the once-over by the urban myth known as the infallible drug sniffing dog. Old Bowser can be relied upon to find drugs anyplace the police want to find drugs. (Yes, the dogs can detect drugs, but they can be easily manipulated or tricked into “sensing” drugs where no drugs exist, at least prior to the roadblock stop.)

Most people are so relieved to be allowed to leave after the harrowing experience of having their car ravaged that they never consider launching a civil suit against the police department.

If the police are persistent about searching your vehicle, you should be equally persistent in demanding that they specify what illegal item they are looking for and why they think you have it in your vehicle. If they cannot come up with plausible answers to these questions, they do not have legal grounds to even consider searching your car.

The courts allow the police to detain drivers for further interrogation, but not for indefinite lengths of time.

The courts seem to tolerate 20 minutes of harassment and intimidation and consider that tolerable for a suspected criminal. However, unless you ask to leave, the courts have said the police are under no obligation to tell you that you can leave. You have to ask, “Am I free to go?”

If the police do not have defensible grounds to further detain you, they have to let you leave.

There is no greater symbol of a society having lost its bearings than the “sobriety roadblock.” It is universally admitted that roadblocks apprehend very few drunk drivers, far fewer than the same allocation of resources could apprehend during regular patrols.

Again, the purposes are intimidation, using the stops as a pretence to look for other criminal activity, and to garner public relations points as a “get tough on drunk drivers” agency.

DWI roadblocks are usually set up at night and can be quite unnerving with the bright lights, orchestrated show of force, and flashlights thrust in drivers’ faces. All the previous comments about searches are applicable to DWI roadblocks. Also, you should not allow any penetration of your vehicle’s interior space, that includes sticking a flashlight (often contains an alcohol sensor) through your window.

You can be required to show the usual documentation, such as your driver’s license, but you do not have to open your window any further than the space to hand it out. You do not have to answer questions about where you have been or where you are going, whether or not you have been drinking or what items are contained in your car.

If you are ordered out of your car, lock the door behind you.

You do not have to perform any feats of balance, answer quiz questions, or recite the alphabet. In fact we recommend that you respectfully decline to do any of these things.

A so-called field sobriety test is conducted for one reason only — to develop probable cause to arrest you for drunk driving. You can not pass a field sobriety test, no matter how sober or gifted you are. If the police believe they have probable cause to charge you with drunk driving, they can coerce you to take some form of breath or chemical test to determine your blood alcohol content. You can refuse, but the penalties for refusal are often as severe as a DWI conviction.

When you are first approached at a DWI roadblock, open your window slightly and wait for the officer to make his statement or ask his questions. If he simply offers the canned explanation for the stop and asks to see your license, have it ready to hand to him.

If he asks any further questions, you should politely decline to enter into a discussion. Something like; “officer, I really don’t approve of roadblocks and I don’t care to discuss my affairs” should suffice. If the officer persists, ask for the return of your license and ask if you may leave.

It’s important not to answer any questions, no matter how harmless. Your willingness to answer some questions, but not others, will raise suspicion. Worse yet is to give incriminating answers to seemingly routine questions.

If you set the stage in a manner that it is clear you are not going to answer questions, period, there can be no defensible reason for detaining you, based on what you said.

Just answer every question with “I don’t wish to discuss my affairs, may I leave now?” By law, you are not obligated to answer these kinds of questions and you cannot be detained because you refuse to chit-chat with the officers at a roadblock.

 

WE ARE GOING TO ASK FOR ALL OF THE NAMES OF THE PEOPLE THEY DETAINED, THEIR CHARGES AND WE WILL BE ASKING THEM IF THEY WERE TREATED FAIRLY ESPECIALLY BY OFFICER GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE.  WE WILL WATCHING HER BUT SHE WON’T SEE US-WE WILL MAKE SURE OF IT. MY FRIENDS HAVE HIGH POWERED LENSES ON THEIR CAMERAS AND WE CAN RECORD IN LIGHT OR DARK FROM QUITE A DISTANCE.

IF WE SEE ANYTHING AMISS -KISS YOUR GRANT MONIES GOODBYE CPD.

HERE IS THE REPORT FROM THE CT ACLU REGARDING THE FILING OF POLICE COMPLAINTS-AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO,

May 10, 2013-I JUST RECEIVED THE SCHEDULE OF THE 2012 MEETING DATES FOR THE CHESHIRE, CT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION. IT CAME FROM THE POLICE DEPT.

TOO BAD 2013′S MEETING DATES WERE FILED IN APRIL 2013. THAT’S NICE. THEY WAITED UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE BECAUSE THEY ARE A BUNCH OF ARROGANT SMART ASSES. WELL IF I WIN THIS HEARING-I AM GOING UNLEASH A BARRAGE OF FOI COMPLAINTS THIS TOWN OR NO TOWN HAS EVER SEEN. AND I HAVE PLENTY OF AMMUNITION.

YOU SEE, THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION FILED THE MEETING DATES FOR 2013 LATE BECAUSE THEY ARROGANTLY THOUGHT MY COMPLAINT WAS FILED LATE. IN FACT, I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THIS BY THE FOI BUT I DISPUTED IT AND THEY TURNED AROUND. THE REASON THEY DID THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE VIOLATIONS WERE SO EGREGIOUS MONTH AFTER MONTH AFTER MONTH OF NO MINUTES OR AGENDAS AND THIS WAS OVER A TWO YEAR PERIOD.

I WONDER HOW IT FEELS TO THEM TO HAVE TO OBEY LAWS LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE?

IN FACT, I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE 2012 MEETING DATES. I HAD GONE DOWN TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE IN AUGUST AND THAT IS WHEN I SAW THAT LIST OF UNFILED MINUTES AND AGENDAS FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION. I HAD GONE DOWN THERE ORIGINALLY TO FIND OUT WHEN THE AUGUST MEETING WAS BECAUSE I HAD A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE. WELL, THE AUGUST MEETING GOT CANCELED-BUT EVEN WHEN A MEETING IS CANCELED-YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PUBLISH THE AGENDA AND THEN PUT “CANCELED” ACROSS IT.

THAT WASN’T DONE.

AND WHEN THEY FOUND OUT I HAD BEEN IN THE TOWN CLERKS OFFICE-I AM ASSUMING THAT IS WHEN THE “NOTICES OF MEETING DATES GOT FILED.”

THEN I WAS LOOKING FOR THE SEPTEMBER MEETING DATE. IT WAS NOT ONLINE SO I ENDED UP CALLING THE POLICE DEPT. I DID NOT WANT THEM TO ORIGINALLY KNOW I WAS SHOWING UP. BUT I HAD TO GET THE DATE. SO I WENT TO THE SEPT 2012 MEETING, THE TRAFFIC DIVISION SUPERVISOR SHOWED UP. WE WERE WAITING FOR A QUORUM AND CONVENIENTLY THERE WAS NO QUOROM THAT NIGHT-I WONDER WHY?

WHY WOULD A BRAND-NEW MEMBER OF A COMMISSION MISS THE FIRST MEETING? HELLO? I WASN’T BORN YESTERDAY PALS.

SO THIS IS A BATTLE-I HOPE I WILL WIN. THEY WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF THIS IF I WIN-COUNT ON IT. AND I WILL UNLEASH MORE FOI VIOLATIONS-WHICH MEANS MORE MONEY SPENT ON ARROGANT PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW. I WILL HAVE  A NEVER-ENDING SUPPLY OF FOI COMPLAINTS TO FILE-AND I WILL FILE THEM BELIEVE ME.

THIS IS COSTING YOU THE TAXPAYERS THOUSAND AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS-FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE POINTING THE FINGERS AT YOU.

AND AS FAR AS THIS WS DEVELOPMENT MALL-THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO FILE THE APPLICATION SOON AND COMPLETE THE OUTLET SHOPS IN 2015. IF YOU REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO, AT THE POLICE BUDGET HEARINGS, THE TOWN MANAGER TALKED ABOUT GETTING ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS TO PATROL THAT MALL AREA IF IT WERE GOING TO BE BUILT. THE NUMBER WAS FIVE-THE PD SAID THEY NEEDED FIVE MORE OFFICERS. DO YOU REMEMBER THIS PAST BUDGET HEARING-THE TOWN MANAGER SAID THE DEPT NEEDED “FIVE MORE OFFICERS”

YEAH-PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE SEVERAL OFFICERS RETIRING SOON IN CHESHIRE, CT AS WE WERE TOLD AT THE BUDGET HEARING THIS PAST MARCH. THEY ARE GOING TO ADD FIVE MORE OFFICERS TO AN ALREADY OVERSTAFFED AND UNDERWORKED DEPARTMENT. IN FACT, ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, WHEN THE ILL-FATED APPLE VALLEY MALL WAS PROPOSED AT THE SAME LOCATION WS DEVELOPMENT IS PLANNING ON BUILDING THESE “OUTLET” STORES, THE TOWN ADDED SEVERAL OFFICERS IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS AND NEVER REDUCED THE FORCE WHEN THE PLANS FOR THE MALL FELL THROUGH

DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE A NEW FIELD HOUSE CHESHIRE RESIDENTS-OR BULK PICKUP OR NEW LOCKER ROOMS FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL. IT IS YOUR FAULT. YOU DON’T GO OUT TO THE MEETINGS, YOU DON’T VOTE IN THE LOCAL ELECTION, SO THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CONTINUES TO CATER TO THE TWO P’S-THE POLICE AND THE POOL.

YOU ARE LETTING THEM DO IT.

CAN THIS TOWN JUST ONCE LEVEL WITH PEOPLE AND TELL THE TRUTH?

OH AND BTW-APPARENTLY THERE WAS  A BIG STOLEN CREDIT CARD RING THAT WENT THROUGH CHESHIRE, CT OVER THE HOLIDAYS. CVS GOT HIT-THE ONE BY THE LIQUOR STORE. I WONDER IF ANY OF THESE PEOPLE (WHO ARE REAL CRIMINALS) EVER GOT CAUGHT.

 

OK EVERYONE-HOPEFULLY-HOPEFULLY MY WEBHOSTER SOLVED THE DATABASE PROBLEM. IT WAS ON THEIR END. SO I PRAY THE SITE WILL NOT GO DOWN AGAIN. IF IT DOES, I AM TAKING MY DATABASE FILES AND MOVING TO ANOTHER WEBHOSTER. I REALLY DON’T WANT TO BECAUSE I PERSONALLY KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THIS COMPANY AND HAVE BEEN WITH THEM FOR 10 YEARS. BUT I CAN’T KEEP HAVING THIS BLOG GO DOWN.

I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT TO RESPOND TO THE ORDER OF THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF THE 2012 MEETING DATES FOR THE PUBLIC BUILDING COMMISSION. THE FOI HEARING OFFICER SHOULD BE RECEIVING MY PACKET OF INFORMATION REGARDING ALL OF THE LATE AGENDAS FOR 2012 AND THE LIST OF MEETING DATES FOR 2013 WHICH WAS FILED WITH THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE IN APRIL 2013.

APPARENTLY, THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT IS EMBARKING ON NO TOLERANCE SPEED ENFORCEMENT. NO WARNINGS JUST TICKETS. I WANT EVERYONE GOING THROUGH CHESHIRE TO GO THE SPEED LIMIT-NO HIGHER THAN 30 ON ALL ROADS ESPECIALLY DURING THE RUSH HOUR ON RT 10. WE ARE GETTING ABOUT 20 PEOPLE FOR FRIDAY AND MONDAY OF THIS WEEK TO DO JUST THAT. WE DID IT BEFORE AND THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP FOR MILES. LET’S SEE HOW LONG THIS LASTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PARENTS ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL ON TIME OR PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GO TO WORK.

ME I KNOW THE ROADS THEY WON’T EVER BE ON-SO I JUST GO THERE AND GO OUT OF TOWN. ON UTH FOR MEMBERS ONLY- I HAVE THE LIST OF ROADS THE PINKERTON POLICE FORCE (BECAUSE THEY CATER TO CERTAIN PEOPLE) NEVER GO ON. GET ON THOSE ROADS LIKE I DO AND SPEED AWAY.

ALSO, WHEN I WAS ON JARVIS ST-(SPEED LIMIT 25) WITH MY MOPED LAST JULY, THE COP WROTE IN THE REPORT THAT “I WAS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC.” WELL, IF THE SPEED LIMIT IS 25 AND I WAS GOING 25, WHAT TRAFFIC WAS I HOLDING UP”

TALK ABOUT PHONY. THE STREETS THEY WILL BE DOING THE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON ARE STREETS THAT PROMINENT PEOPLE LIVE ON. I HOPE THEY BEHIND US WHEN WE DO 25-THE CAMERAS WILL BE ROLLING IN THE CAR WHEN THEY GET FED UP AND PASS. COUNT ON IT. AND THE ONE DOING ALL THIS CRAP-I GOT A NICE VIDEO OF HIM NOT PAYING ATTENTION AT A TRAFFIC WORK ZONE. WAIT.

OH-I AM ANNOUNCING MY “ZERO TOLERANCE” CAMPAIGN FOR ANY AGENDAS OR MINUTES FILED LATE-NO WARNINGS-JUST FOI HEARINGS. ANY CHESHIRE, CT BOARD OR COMMISSION FROM THE PERIOD FORWARD THAT FILES ANY AGENDA OR MINUTES LATE- THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION WILL BE NOTIFIED AND A HEARING WILL TAKE PLACE.

 

ALSO: MAYBE THE POLICE CHIEF COULD SEE TO IT THAT THE OFFICERS ON 11 P.M. TO 7 A.M. HAVE COFFEE MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM SO THEY DON’T HAVE TO COME BACK INTO THE STATION AND FILL UP THEIR COFFEE MUGS. ONE OF THEM EVEN USES HIS OWN COFFEE MAKER FOR GOD’S SAKE. I SAW THE OFFICER IN THE STATION THE NIGHT I WAS DOWN THERE AND I ASKED WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE SAID HE BROUGHT HIS OWN COFFEE MACHINE BECAUSE NOTHING IS OPEN AFTER 11 (WHICH IS TRUE) EXCEPT 7-11 AND I DON’T BLAME ANYONE FOR NOT WANTING TO GO IN THERE PERSONALLY.

WITH ALL THIS MONEY PUT INTO THE GIFT ACCOUNT-BUY THESE PEOPLE A NICE THERMOS SO THEY CAN DRINK THEIR COFFEE-WITHOUT HAVING TO COME BACK TO THE STATION, PARK THE CRUISER, GO TO GET COFFEE AND THEN GET BACK INTO THE CRUISER. THEY SHOULD BE OUT ON THE ROAD-PATROLLING. IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH TIME TO MISS SOMETHING. SO GET WITH IT AND USE SOME OF THE GIFT ACCOUNT MONIES TO PURCHASE THIS FOR THESE OFFICERS SO THEY STAY AWAKE OVER NIGHT.  MAYBE I SHOULD SEND MISSY SOME OF MY VICODIN SO SHE CAN FALL ASLEEP.

AND PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ON DUTY-SHOULD NOT BE AT THE POLICE STATION. OK I GAVE MY ORDERS NOW I AM GOING BACK TO WORK.

NOW I JUST GOT OUT OF THE GUM/JAW SURGERY. IT WENT WELL. I HAVE STITCHES ALL THROUGH THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY MOUTH ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TOOTH AND JAW-MY GUM WAS RETRACTED AND BONE REMOVED FROM MY JAW SO MY CROWN CAN BE FITTED EVENTUALLY ON MY ONE TOOTH THAT I CRACKED YEARS AGO. THE ROOT CANAL WASN’T DONE CORRECTLY, IT GOT INFECTED, I HAD TO HAVE IT RE-DONE BUT THEN THE TOOTH WAS GROUND DOWN SO LOW THE CROWN COULD NOT FIT PROPERTY OVER IT. SO I HAD TO HAVE THE GUM CUT AND RETRACTED-AND THE BONE AROUND THE JAW CUT OUT AND SEWN BACK. SO I CANNOT EAT ANY HARD FOODS FOR FIVE DAYS-JUST SOFT FOODS-I AM READY WITH THE VICODIN. SO GIVE A BREAK FOR A FEW DAYS.

OK -CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PROCEDURE I HAD DONE ON WEDNESDAY-IT TOOK AN HOUR AND A HALF-BUT HONESTLY IT ONLY SEEMED LIKE A FEW MINUTES-PROBABLY BECAUSE  I WAS IN LA-LA LAND WITH THE NITROUS OXIDE (LAUGHING GAS). UNFORTUNATELY I HAD TO DISCONTINUE THE NITROUS OXIDE BECAUSE IT MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH WHICH DOES HAPPEN. SO ALL OF THIS WAS DONE WITH PLAIN OLD NOVACAINE.

 

OK I JUST MAILED OUT SOME ADDITIONAL VIOLATIONS OF THE CHESHIRE, CT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION HEARING OFFICER-AND THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT AND THEIR LAW FIRM. YOU SEE, THESE PEOPLE CONTINUED TO VIOLATE THE LAW-BECAUSE THEY ARROGANTLY THOUGHT THE FOI WAS GOING TO THROW OUT MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT WASN’T “TIMELY.”

WELL, AT THE HEARING WHICH YOU READ IN THE POST BELOW, THE HEARING OFFICER SAID THE COMPLAINT WAS TIMELY AND THE CLARIFICATION WAS TIMELY.

AND I WANT TO KNOW NOW WHAT THE CURRENT POLICE CHIEF’S EXCUSE IS: “OH I WASN’T HERE IN 2010.”

WELL GUESS WHAT PAL? YOU WERE HERE IN 2012, AND 2013.

THE HEARING OFFICER WANTED TO SEE A COPY OF THE SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS FOR 2012? WELL-HELLO-I JUST SENT HER THE COPY OF MEETING DATES FOR 2013 AND THEY WERE SUBMITTED ON APRIL 8, 2013. WHAT’S THE EXCUSE NOW.

THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE-PUBLIC SAFETY-THAT ARE POINTING THE FINGERS AT YOU AND I WITH TRAFFIC REGULATIONS AND THEY CAN’T OBEY THESE LAWS. THEY CONTINUED TO FILE LATE AGENDAS MOST OF 2012 AND A FEW TIMES IN 2013. THE APRIL AND MAY AGENDAS WERE FILED ON TIME. THERE IS A MEETING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 8  AND THAT WAS FILED TIMELY BECAUSE THEY KNOW I AM WATCHING AND THEIR MOTION TO DISMISS GOT DISMISSED.

NOW I AM GOING TO LIST THE AGENDAS THAT WERE FILED LATE IN 2012. MY QUESTION-WHAT IF SOME OF YOU WANTED TO ATTEND THESE MEETINGS? IT IS ONE THING NOT PUT ON THE WEBSITE, BUT IF YOU TRIED TO GO TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE TO SEE THE AGENDA-YOU WERE SHIT OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE THINK THEIR MEETINGS ARE A PRIVATE COFFEE KLATCH.

THEY ARE WATCHING-WELL SO AM I PALS. YOU BEST BELIEVE IT. YOU PICK I PICK YOU STOP-I STOP. SIMPLE AS THAT.

APRIL 11 ,2012 AGENDA-RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON JULY 26, 2012.

MAY 9, 2012 AGENDA-RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON JULY 26, 2012.

JUNE 12, 2012 AGENDA – RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2012.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012 AGENDA – RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2012 – NOT 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

NOVEMBER 14, 2012 AGENDA – RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON JANUARY 8, 2013.

DECEMBER 12, 2012 AGENDA – RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON DECEMBER 12, 2012 – NOT 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

JANUARY 8, 2013 AGENDA – RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK ON JANUARY 8, 2013 – NOT 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.

THIS SAYS IT ALL.

I AM BEEN HEARING FROM ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE ABOUT THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPTS CRAP-NOT WRITING REPORTS CORRECTLY-ESPECIALLY MS. VERMONT. HAVING TO WRITE THEM OVER-WTF. SO IN GESTAPO CT YOU CAN’T GO OUT FROM 11 P.M. TO 6 A.M APPARENTLY. PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEY HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO GO TO WORK. YES, THEY GET PULLED OVER RUSH HOUR IN THE AFTERNOON TOO. WELL, TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME BECAUSE NOW I HAVE A FEW PEOPLE WILLING TO GO OUT WITH CAMERAS AS WE HAVE DONE BEFORE-ALL HOURS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT AND LET’S SEE IF WE CAN GET MISSY TO PULL HER SHIT. AND OUR AUDIO WILL BE WORKING GIRLIE.

UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO” A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS DAY-THAT AWARD WINNING SERIES: LIFE AFTER WOMEN.

WELL, IT WAS CALLED “LIFE AFTER PEOPLE” BUT TRUTHFULLY, LET’S FACE IT-IF WOMEN SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED, WITHIN HOURS-THE WORLD WOULD GO TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET BECAUSE NO WOMAN WOULD BE AROUND TO NAG THE CRAP OF THE LAZY ASS MAN.

THEY MAKE ME LAUGH WITH “FATHERS DAY.” EVERY DAY IS FATHERS DAY-THEY SIT ON THEIR ASS AND WAIT FOR THE WOMAN TO NAG THEM TO DO SOMETHING. I MEAN SOME MEN GET OUT THERE ON THEIR OWN BUT FOR THE POST PART-MEN ARE USELESS.

SO, AS I STATED BEFORE WHEN I RAN THIS SERIES-WHEN YOU HEAR THE MODERATOR SAY “PEOPLE” JUST SUBSTITUTE THE WORD “WOMEN” AND IT ALL MAKES SENSE.

“IMAGINE OUR PLANET WITHOUT ITS WOMEN”

CUTE BABY ANIMALS WITH THEIR MOMS

I AM DOING MY MOTHER’S DAY TRIBUTE ON THE POST BELOW.

I ALSO NOW AM GOING TO FILE ANOTHER REQUEST FOR AN FOI HEARING AGAINST THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION- BECAUSE THERE ARE A TON OF VIOLATIONS-LATE AGENDAS-SOME FILED MONTHS LATER-MONTHS.

I HAVE THE DATES OF THE AGENDAS WHEN THEY WERE FILED AND 99 PERCENT OF THEM WERE LATE. SOME WERE MONTHS LATER-OTHERS WERE FILED A FEW DAYS LATE-AND A FEW WERE FILED THE DAY OF THE MEETING. THE FOI REGULATIONS STATE THAT ALL AGENDAS MUST BE FILED AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE NOT THE SAME DAY OR WEEKS OR MONTHS LATER. WHAT IS THE SENSE OF THAT? SO PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE WANTED TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WOULD BE ON THE AGENDA.  UNBELIEVEABLE.

AND THIS “LIST” OF MEETING SCHEDULES FOR 2012. I AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS ALSO. THE LIST ON FILE FOR 2012 IS NOT SIGNED BY THE CHAIRMAN BUT THE LIST for 2013 IS. AND THE “STAMP” SAYING WHEN EVERYTHING IS BEING RECEIVED IS SUSPECT. IT JUST SAYS “REC’D” AND THEN THERE ARE BLANKS. GOD, ANYONE COULD FILL THAT IN ANYTIME THEY WANTED. IF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION HAD FILED THE LIST OF MEETING DATES FOR 2012 ON TIME THEN WHY DID THE FOI HAVE TO ORDER THEM TO PRODUCE IT AND WHY DID THE TOWN CLERK’S LIST OF ITEMS NOT RECEIVED INCLUDE THE MEETING DATES FOR 2012. I RECEIVED THIS LIST IN AUGUST OF 2012 AND AS OF THAT TIME, THE MEETING DATES HAD NOT BEEN FILED-SO I WONDER WHAT THIS SHEET IS THAT I SAW ON MONDAY STATING THEY FILED THE MEETING DATES IN NOVEMBER OF 2011 WITH THE FILL IN THE BLANKS STAMP?

I AM NOT ACCEPTING THAT AND I WILL FORWARD A COPY TO THE HEARING OFFICER ROSS AT FOI.

I AM PUTTING THE NAIL IN YOUR COFFIN FOR GOOD CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT. “OH-YOUR LICENSE PLATE WAS ILLUMINATED, BUT IT WASN’T BRIGHT ENOUGH.”

OK? THAT WAS A TICKET THAT D RECEIVED A FEW YEARS AGO-CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THE COURT THREW IT OUT BUT TALK ABOUT PETTY IT IS SICK. AND TO TOP IT OFF, THE GUY HAD JUST GOTTEN OUT OF MONRO MUFFLER THAT SAME DAY(HOURS EARLIER). IT’S RIDICULOUS AND I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THE STORIES I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

AND I NOTICED WHEN I WENT TO THE TOWN HALL IN CHESHIRE, CT MONDAY TO LOOK AT THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION AGENDAS SOMEONE HAD PARKED A MOPED/SCOOTER-IT WAS WHITE AND LOOKED LIKE A VESPA WHICH REQUIRES A LICENSE PLATE (DID NOT SEE ONE)-I WONDER IF THE POLICE ARE GOING TO TELL THIS PERSON TO RIDE IN THE CURB OR TELL THEM THEY ARE HOLDING UP TRAFFIC DOING 25 ON A ROAD WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 25?

ITS TIME TO STAND UP AND FIGHT THE FINAL BATTLE.

THEY WANT TO PICK-I WILL DO THE SAME. AND GUESS WHAT? THERE ARE EVEN MORE VIOLATIONS FROM OTHER COMMISSIONS. SEE YOU AT FOI-FOI-FOI-FOI-FOI-AND ON AND ON AND ON.

 

FOI UPDATE

  • By: Cindy

FOI DOCUMENT 2013

I HOPE TO HELL THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT LOSES THIS FOI ISSUE AND GETS FINED BIG TIME I REALLY DO. I MEAN ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, BUT I AM CONFIDENT.I AM GIVING IT BACK TO THEM-THE WAY THEY GAVE IT TO ME AND MY FAMILY FOR YEARS FOR DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG-FOR JUST GETTING INVOLVED IN A COMMUNITY WE CARED ABOUT AND SAYING THINGS THEY DIDN’T AGREE WITH AND FELT THREATENED BY. WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS-WE DON’T DO DRUGS, DON’T DRIVE DRUNK, DON’T STEAL, DON’T HARM ANYONE AND NEVER DID. THEY SHOULDN’T EVEN BE LOOKING AT US. IT IS ALL COMING TO AN END NOW-THE PARTY IS OVER FOR REAL 500 HIGHLAND AVENUE  BECAUSE I WILL POUND AND POUND UNTIL YOU COLLAPSE. YOU CAN’T EVEN KNOW THE RAGE THAT IS INSIDE OF ME.

UNDER “FEATURED VIDEO” THE ATTICA RIOTS OF 1971.

I AM SHOWING YOU THESE VIDEOS: “THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND” AND “ATTICA RIOTS” TO SHOW YOU, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER PEOPLE, WHY MANY, NOT ALL, BUT MANY IN MY GENERATION DID NOT TRUST AUTHORITY. LOOK WHAT WE SAW EVERYDAY 12 AND 13 YEARS OLD-VIETNAM, CIVIL RIGHTS RIOTS, THE ASSASINATION OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. THE ASSASINATION OF BOBBY KENNEDY, ATTICA, KENT STATE. WE LEARNED TO MISTRUST THE GOVERNMENT-TO ASK QUESTIONS-TO ACT-TO LEARN AND TO TEACH.

SADLY, THE LESSONS LEARNED ARE BEING FORGOTTEN. NOW IF YOU SPEAK UP AND TRY TO QUESTION YOU ARE LOOKED DOWN UPON. IF YOU TRY TO DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS, PEOPLE ACT AS IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU.

IT WAS A TOUGH TIME, AND WE WERE TORN FROM OUR PARENTS AND WE SEPARATED FROM THEM POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY, WE QUESTIONED THEIR OBEDIENCE TO AUTHORITY AND WE REJECTED THEIR STRICTNESS, BUT WE LEARNED FROM THEM HOW TO BE TOUGH AND HANG IN THERE. OUR PARENTS WERE TOUGH-BY TODAY’S STANDARDS-IT WAS BORDERLINE CHILD ABUSE-NOT PHYSICAL BUT VERBAL. BUT THEY DID THIS TO MOTIVATE AND PREPARE US FOR A TOUGH WORLD.

THEY DID THEIR JOB.

 

I DID RECEIVE A RESPONSE FROM THE CHESHIRE, CT PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER REGARDING THIS “DESK DUTY” INCIDENT.

Cindy,

I checked with the Police Department on this (and I let the Chief and the Deputy Chief know that I would respond to your request).  There has been no officer put on desk duty for doctoring a police report.  Therefore there is no dash cam video since there was no incident.  Hope this helps.

Arnett

 

HONESTLY, I DON’T BELIEVE THEM FOR A NANOSECOND. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NOTHING MORE I CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY KNOW I KNOW THE TRUTH AND SO DO YOU NOW.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

I RECEIVED THIS CORRESPONDENCE IN THE MAIL FROM THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION REGARDING THE “SHOW-CAUSE” HEARING I ATTENDED ON APRIL 22, 2013. THIS CORRESPONDENCE IS FROM THE HEARING OFFICER AND ORDERS THE RESPONDENTS (TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT AND THE CHESHIRE CT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION) TO SUBMIT TO THE COMMISSION, ON OR BEFORE MAY 10, 2013, A DATE-STAMPED COPY OF THE SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS FOR THE RESPONDENT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION FOR YEAR 2012, INDICATING WHEN SUCH SCHEDULE WAS RECEIVED BY THE TOWN CLERK.

WANT TO PLAY GAMES TOWN OF CHESHIRE AND THEIR POLICE DEPT? THIS IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. WANT TO HAND OUT ONE TICKET AFTER THE NEXT-THEN I AM RETURNING THE FAVOR. LIKE IT?

THE SECOND ONE OF THEIR AGENDAS  AND OR MINUTES IS NOT FILED ON TIME-ANOTHER FOI COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED. AND THAT GOES FOR ALL OF THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.  AND GUESS WHAT? THEY ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN ACTION GRID-WHO WAS IN ATTENDANCE, TIME MEETING WAS CALLED TO ORDER – WHAT MOTIONS WERE MADE WHEN MEETING WAS ADJOURNED-WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM THE MINUTES. OMG-THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE A NEVER-ENDING POUNDING. DO IT RIGHT OR DON’T DO IT AT ALL.

 

 

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION HEARING

  • By: Cindy

SOMEONE LEFT A COMMENT ABOUT THE FASHION SHOW VIDEO AND WHY  SOME OF THE MODELS ARE CARRYING TOY GUNS. THIS SHOW WAS FILMED LAST APRIL 2012 AND IT WAS A JAMES BOND THEME.  BESIDES JESSICA, IT IS BRIDGEPORT. COME ON DOWN AND SHOOT (NO PUN INTENDED) YOUR BIG MOUTH OFF DOWN HERE.

DIDN’T THINK SO.

WE ARE REALLY SINKING INTO NEW LOWS IN THIS COUNTRY:

MAN ARRESTED FOR NOT FLUSHING TOILET ON AIRPLANE

EDITORS NOTE: GOD DON’T GO ON AMTRAK!

I DID SEND OUT SEVERAL EMAILS TO TOWN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN CHESHIRE, CT ON WEDNESDAY REQUESTING THE DASH CAM VIDEO OF THAT DUI TRAFFIC STOP THAT ENDED UP WITH AN OFFICER BEING PUT ON DESK DUTY FOR SUPPOSEDLY DOCTORING A POLICE REPORT.

THEY SHOULD RELEASE THE DASH CAM VIDEO BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE END OF IT-ALL OF THIS “FAVORITISM” WILL STOP. ENFORCE THE LAWS FOR SOME BUT NOT FOR OTHERS. SOME PEOPLE CAN DRIVE DRUNK AND IT HAS HAPPENED-THERE WAS AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN CHESHIRE CT, HIT A WOMAN GOING TO HER MAILBOX BECAUSE HE WAS DRUNK, FLIPPED HER OVER THE HOOD OF HIS CAR AND NOTHING CAME OF IT-BECAUSE HE WAS PROBABLY SOMEONE PROMINENT IN TOWN. OK? AND THE TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER WHO THINKS ITS OK TO TALK ON THEIR CELL PHONE FROM CHESHIRE TO QUINNIPIAC COLLEGE-BECAUSE THE PERSON KNOWS THE COPS WON’T BOTHER THIS PERSON. I SAW SOMEONE ELSE CONNECTED WITH THE TOWN PICK UP THEIR CELL PHONE AND TALK ON IT IN CHESHIRE FOR A FEW MILES. RIGHT ON RT 10 AND COPS WENT RIGHT BY HIM.

IT’S WRONG. RELEASE THE DASH VIDEO. BUT NO-COVER IT UP AND HAVE THE PERSON ON DESK DUTY WITH PAY PROBABLY AND THEN SPEND OVERTIME MONEY HAVING ANOTHER OFFICER TAKE HIS PLACE. REAL GOOD.

THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT THAT LIAR-MENGELE -MURDERER ON COLEMAN ROAD THAT SHOULD FALL OF HIS ROOF ON DESK DUTY PERMANENTLY-AFTER HE WROTE ON A SWORN AFFADAVIT THAT THE LOCAL RESIDENT’S  MOTHER  WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED TO GET A CONVICTION AFTER THE COPS-ONE OF WHICH IS INVOLVED IN THIS DASH CAM VIDEO AND LIKES TO KNOCK PEOPLE ON THE GROUND – DRAGGED AN 85 YEAR OLD WOMAN OUT OF HER HOME BECAUSE THEY “THOUGHT” HERE WE GO AGAIN ALL ASSUMPTIONS-NO REAL PROOF- THE LOCAL RESIDENT WAS THREATENING HER WHEN IT WAS THE LOUD TELEVISION THEY HEARD. THEY ALSO ACCUSED THE LOCAL RESIDENT OF “KICKING AND HITTING” HIS MOTHER, WHEN IN FACT THE MOTHER HAD DEMENTIA AND WAS ASSAULTED A FEW YEARS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT AT A LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER AND THAT IS WHERE THE”KICKING AND HITTING”  CAME FROM. THE MURDERER LIAR-NEVER BOTHERED TO “INVESTIGATE” AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH-JUST LIE LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO AND GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO RUN CHESHIRE ARE AFRAID TO OFFEND THE FEW PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY RUN THIS TOWN.

-AND THAT OTHER PSYCHOPATH  THAT SENT ME EMAILS CALLING ME A A PERSON OF ILL-REPUTE AMONGST OTHER LITTLE NICETIES. THIS IS THE ONE THAT TROLLS ON THE RECORD JOURNAL AND TRIES TO PUT DOWN MY FAMILY. I GOT YOUR NUMBER PAL-JUST WAIT-BUT SEE, ALL OF IT WILL BE DONE LEGALLY-WE WILL USE THE SYSTEM TO GET BACK AT YOU. AND WE WILL GET BACK-WE WILL GET OUR REVENGE. IT JUST TAKES TIME.

I READ THIS IN THE LOCAL MEDIA BUT MY GIRLFRIEND CALLED ME ON TUESDAY AND TOLD ME THERE ARE CAMERAS ON THE TOP OF AN OVERPASS ON I-91 IN WALLINGFORD. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN “ORIGIN AND DESTINATION” STUDY BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE CAMERAS TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND THEN SEND YOU A “CONFIDENTIAL” SURVEY (YEAH OK) ASKING YOU WHERE YOU ARE COMING AND GOING FROM.

WHAT? MY FRIEND SAID SHE HAS TO DRIVE THIS WAY EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK TO WORK, SO SHE LEAVES A FEW MINUTES EARLY, COVERS HER PLATES, DRIVES PAST THE OVERPASS ABOUT A MILE-THEN PULLS OVER AND TAKES THE COVERING OFF OF HER PLATES. I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME. I KNOW I WILL DO IT. F U FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- A “SURVEY” AND CONFIDENTIAL TO BOOT. UNREAL.

I GUESS THE TOWN COUNCIL OF CHESHIRE, CT PICKED THE STUDY COMMITTEE FOR THE COMMUNITY POOL. I PUT A LOT OF RESEARCH INTO THIS AS YOU KNOW BUT THEY WOULD NEVER PICK ME BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO “ENCOURAGE” DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW. THEY HAVE THE LOCAL MEDIA ALL PAID OFF, BUT THEY CAN’T GET TO ME.  FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A “STUDY” WHEN WE KNOW THE ANSWER.

WE ARE FUNDING A POOL-SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR, AND WE STILL DON’T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE THIS FACILITY. I BET THEY COME UP WITH SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES WHICH IS NOT SOME FLY BY NIGHT FACILITY AS A  HATER STATED-NEW YORK CITY USED THEM AT THE SITE OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER FOR A TEMPORARY EMERGENCY FACILITY. THEY HAVE 112,000 STRUCTURES IN 96 COUNTRIES, NONE OF THESE STRUCTURES,  FAILED, EXCEPT FOR ONE IN SIBERIA THAT THE RUSSIANS PUT UP INCORRECTLY, AND IT IS ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS HAD A SPRUNG STRUCTURE AND EVEN THOUGH IT HAD DAMAGE-IT SURVIVED HURRICANE KATRINA.

I WENT TO A LOT OF MEETINGS TALKING ABOUT THIS STRUCTURE AND EVEN THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETINGS. I NEVER SAW ANY OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE AT THESE MEETINGS. BUT, THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT WANTS OBEDIENT SHEEPLE.

THE ONLY PLACE THAT HASN’T HEARD OF SPRUNG IS NUMB NUTS TOWN AND THE TINY MIND HATER COP AND HIS MURDERER PAL ON COLEMAN ROAD THAT TROLLS AND WRITES SICK PERVERTED POLICE REPORTS ACCUSING THE LOCAL RESIDENT OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING  HIS MOTHER.  WELL I HAVE  A VIDEO OF HATER-NOT DOING HIS JOB AT A TRAFFIC WORK ZONE. WAIT TILL I RELEASE THAT.

IT IS REALLY SAD WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS TOWN-BUT IT IS STARTING TO BREAK-I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITH THESE PEOPLE FOR YEARS, NOT TO START TROUBLE, BUT TO BE MORE OPEN AND HONEST. IF THEY THINK I AM A THORN GOOD, THEN I WILL LIVE UP TO MY NAME AND BE A THORN.

DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CHESHIRE CT TOWN COUNCIL MEETING ON TUESDAY APRIL 30? DISSENSION AMONGST THE RANKS? YES-FINALLY NOT VOTING PARTY LINE AND DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR THE TOWN-NAMELY-RESTORING THE BULK PICKUP. IT COSTS SOMETHING LIKE $15 PER HOUSEHOLD FOR GOD’S SAKES. THE COUNCIL WENT AGAINST THE CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN’S WISHES BECAUSE MAYBE IT IS DAWNING ON SOME PEOPLE THAT THEY NEED TO SERVE THE ENTIRE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT NOT A FEW PROMINENT PEOPLE. AND BESIDES, THAT BULK PICKUP WAS GOING TO BE BIG TIME FODDER FOR MY ELECTION ATTACK LETTERS.

THEY WILL SPEND $40,000 ON A POOL STUDY AND SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ON A POLICE DEPT THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GLORIFIED METER MAID DEPARTMENT.  LOOK WHAT JUST HAPPENED WITH THE SO-CALLED “SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE.”

THAT WASN’T SUSPICIOUS. LOOK, IF  I OPENED THAT RUNNING CAR DOOR AT THE FALL FESTIVAL A FEW YEARS AGO BECAUSE THE COPS COULDN’T HAVE BEEN BOTHERED INVESTIGATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THEY WOULD GO NEAR A CEMENT BLOCK WITH DUCT TAPE ON IT? OF COURSE THEY CALLED THEIR MOMMIE-THE STATE POLICE. THIS IS WHY THEY NEED TO BE ELIMINATED. THE STATE POLICE ARE ALREADY DOING THE REAL POLICE WORK IN THIS TOWN-COSTING LOCAL TAXPAYERS NOTHING.

THIS CEMENT BLOCK INCIDENT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE TRIED TO COPY THE TOOTHBRUSH WITH “DUCT TAPE” AROUND IT AT JFK AIRPORT A FEW DAYS AGO. GROW UP WILL YOU AND STOP THE THEATRICS.

LAST YEAR I SAW THREE BAGS LEFT UNATTENDED ON THE CORNER OF JARVIS ST AND HIGHLAND AVE BY THE CORRECTIONAL CENTER. I CALLED THE COPS BUT BEFORE THEY CAME. I THREW A ROCK AT ONE OF THEM-IT DIDN’T BLOW UP-SO WHEN I LOOKED INSIDE- I FOUND SODA CANS.  AGAIN, I DON’T KNOW IF THE COPS CAME OR NOT, SO MUCH FOR SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING-ESPECIALLY IF IT COMES FROM SOMEONE THEY DON’T LIKE.

 

NOW A FEW OF YOU ASKED ABOUT THIS “INCIDENT” INVOLVING A CHESHIRE CT POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS PUT ON DESK DUTY FOR SUPPOSEDLY “DOCTORING” A POLICE REPORT.  NOW THAT THE “INVESTIGATION” IS OVER, I AM WONDERING IF I CAN GET THE AUDIO OR THE ENTIRE VIDEO OF THIS SITUATION UNDER FOI. OH HERE WE GO-AGAIN.

YOU SEE, IT IS NEVER ENDING WHAT I CAN DO-I HAVE A RACING MIND-HELL YEAH-AND NOW YOU ARE GOING TO SEE HOW IT WORKS TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT. MY IMAGINATION HAS NO LIMITS AND YOU ARE FINDING THIS OUT. AND IF THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT WINS THIS FOI HEARING ON THE MINUTES AND AGENDAS, I WILL BE FILING A MOTION TO VACATE BECAUSE WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE HEARING-THE RESPONDENTS WERE IN THE ROOM ALONE WITH THE HEARING OFFICER ASKING ABOUT FILING A BRIEF. WELL, I AS THE COMPLAINANT, SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED TO STAY-BETTER YET, THE CONVERSATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN “ON THE RECORD.”

IF I LOSE THIS WILL BE A BONE OF CONTENTION-”UNDUE INFLUENCE.”

THEY CAN HAVE ALL THE VIDEO AND AUDIO KNOWN TO MANKIND-THEY HAVE BODY CAMERAS, EYEGLASS CAMERAS, PEN CAMERAS, WHATEVER- ALL I HAVE TO DO IS UTTER SEVEN WORDS AND THAT COPS CAREER IS DOWN THE TUBES. AND IT IS ALL LEGAL-ALL OF IT-AND THEIR “CAMERA” WILL BE THERE TO CAPTURE THE ENTIRE THING-ALONG WITH MINE. YOU WONDER WHAT THOSE SEVEN WORDS ARE?

WE WERE TAUGHT HOW TO DEAL WITH AUTHORITY-NOT TO PLAY THEIR GAME-WE PLAY OURS AND WE WIN. THE AUTHORITY WANTS YOU TO GET ARRESTED-THEY WANT YOU TO PLAY THEIR GAME-THAT IS THEIR TRAINING-BUT THEY ARE NO MATCH FOR SMARTS AND STAMINA AND THAT IS THE TOOL WE USED BACK IN THE DAY.

YOU ARE PLAYING MY GAME NOW-AUTHORITY-AND I LOVE IT-I THRIVE ON THIS-I WIN.

I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REGARDING A DECISION AND I DON’T EXPECT ANYTHING SOON BUT I WILL BE FILING FOUR OTHER FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMPLAINTS-I KNOW I CAN FIND MORE VIOLATIONS FROM THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AND COMMISSIONS IN CHESHIRE, CT. IN FACT, THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION ADMITTED THEY FILED LAST MONTHS MINUTES LATE- CAN YOU BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE? OMG THEY BETTER PRAY I LOSE-BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER EVER HEAR THE END OF IT.

“OH WE CAN’T FIND ANYONE” OH BLAH BLAH BLAH. I WILL DO IT-JUST CALL ME-AND THE MINUTES WILL BE DONE WITHOUT PREJUDICE AND DONE-ON TIME. SO DON’T SAY YOU CAN’T FIND PEOPLE-I AM PUTTING MYSELF OUT THERE- I WILL DO YOUR MINUTES.

I RECEIVED FIVE TICKETS IN LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS BECAUSE I FILED LEGITIMATE COMPLAINTS AGAINST  THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE-THEY RETALIATED-WELL I AM NOW RETALIATING AND WILL FILE FOUR MORE FOI COMPLAINTS REGARDING NON-FILED MINUTES, AGENDAS, OR MINUTES AND OR AGENDAS FILED LATE. TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME PALS BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T LEARN FROM TWO YEARS AGO. YOU WILL LEARN NOW BECAUSE IT IS COSTING THE TAXPAYERS OF THIS TOWN MONEY THAT SHOULD BE SPENT ON OTHER THINGS-NOT THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT AND THEIR SCREW UPS.

I AM GOING TO RELEASE A BARRAGE UNTIL THEY CRACK-I WILL BE MERCILESS AS THEY WERE.

I AM GOING TO GET THESE PEOPLE LEGALLY IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO ON EARTH. SO HELP ME GOD I WILL. AND NOT ONLY FOR ME-BUT FOR YOU-THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN THE VICTIMS OF THEIR LYING AND EMBELLISHING. THAT IS WHY NOW I HAVE CAMERAS RECORDING IN MY CAR-AUDIO AND VIDEO-ALL OF MY CARS-ALL OF THEM. THEY CAN CALL FOR ALL THE BACKUP THEY WANT-THE VIDEO AND AUDIO -LIKE THE SHELTON STATEMENT – DOESN’T LIE.

THEY STEPPED IN IT GOOD AND THEY WILL NEVER EVER BE ABLE TO WIPE IT OFF THEIR SHOE AS LONG AS I AM IN THIS TOWN. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW “PHONY” THEY ARE-THERE WAS A STORY IN THE LOCAL PAPERS ABOUT A SUSPICIOUS ITEM AT THE LINEAR TRAIL AND OF COURSE THEY CALLED “THE STATE POLICE.”  ALL THIS TRAINING FOR WHAT? IT WAS A PIECE OF CEMENT FOR GOD’S SAKE. GROW UP.

LAST YEAR AT THE FALL FESTIVAL WE PARKED NEAR A CAR THAT WAS RUNNING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS AROUND 10 A.M. WHEN WE LEFT THE FALL FESTIVAL ABOUT 2 P.M. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. I LOOKED INTO THE CAR-THERE WAS A LOT OF PAPERS AND JUNK IN THE FRONT AND BACK SEAT-BLANKETS-YOU COULDN’T REALLY SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING UNDER THE JUNK.

D WENT OVER TO THE POLICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT-NOT EVEN THAT IT WAS SUSPCIOUS, BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE WAS IN THE CAR AND NEEDED HELP OR THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. NOT ONE POLICE OFFICER WOULD COME OVER-NOT ONE. I ENDED UP-ME, MYSELF-ENDED UP CAREFULLY OPENING UP THE DOOR, PRAYING IT WASN’T A BOOBY TRAP-AND SHUTTING OFF THE CAR. I PUT THE KEY ON THE SEAT. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

“OH IF YOU SEE SOMETHING-SAY SOMETHING”  WELL WE DID-SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ONE LISTENED. YOU KNOW WHAT-YOU CPD, AND YOUR TROLL COP PAL CAN ALL SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS.

APPARENTLY SOME POLICE OFFICER IN SOME TOWN (I WON’T SAY WHICH TOWN, BUT THINK HARD), RECEIVED DESK DUTY FOR DOCTORING A POLICE REPORT.  GOD I’M SURPRISED THEY HAVEN’T RUN OUT OF DESKS DOWN THERE. FROM WHAT I HEARD, THE AUDIO ACTUALLY WORKED THIS TIME-A WOMAN WAS ARRESTED FOR DUI, AND THIS OFFICER WANTED TO HAVE HER RELEASED AND IT WAS RECORDED ON THE AUDIO. HE KEPT SAYING-OH RELEASE HER, RELEASE HER BECAUSE IT WAS PROBABLY SOMEONE HE KNEW.  THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. THE LAWS DON’T APPLY EQUALLY TO EVERYONE AS THEY SHOULD. THEIR FAVORITES OR THEIR FRIENDS GET LET OFF. THE OFFICER JUST GOT RELEASED FROM DESK DUTY. I KNOW WHO IT IS AND IF THAT LITTLE “GIRL” EVENS GIVES ME A LOOK-HIS NAME WILL BE RELEASED. AND HE’S BEEN IN THE NEWS BEFORE-LIKE A FEW YEARS AGO.

IT WAS A MALE POLICE OFFICER-AND YOU KNOW THE TOWN. OF COURSE IT WILL BE COVERED UP BUT IT SHOULDN’T. IT SHOULD BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC.  BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT WILL STOP. YOU KNOW THIS TOWN’S ACHILLE’S HEAL-BAD PUBLICITY. AND I KNOW IT ALSO.

THIS IS ONE OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED WITH THE LOCAL RESIDENTS LAWSUIT.

NICE.

REMEMBER, IF IT HAPPENS YOU KNOW WHERE- I WILL EVENTUALLY FIND OUT. THERE ARE A LOT OF LOOSE LIPS-AND THEY SINK SHIPS.

WHAT A MESS AND SOMEONE IS FINDING OUT-WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS NO QUESTIONING-DO WHAT YOU WANT FOR 50 YEARS. UN REAL. AT LEAST SOMEONE IS TRYING TO MAKE AN EFFORT HERE.

OK, I DID ATTEND THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION HEARING IN HARTFORD, CT ON MONDAY, APRIL 22.  I WAS IN ATTENDANCE, ALONG WITH D, CHIEF DRYFE OF THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ATTORNEY ALFRED SMITH REPRESENTING THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT.

THE HEARING TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR. HEARING OFFICER ROSS WENT OVER THE REGULATIONS. SHE SAID WE WOULD RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL WITH THE HEARING OFFICER’S  FINDINGS OF FACT AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FILE A BRIEF. SHE SAID THE FINAL DECISION WOULD BE MADE BY THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION.

AFTER THE FORMALITIES, MARKING EXHIBITS AS EVIDENCE, THE HEARING BEGAN. I SPOKE FIRST, STATING THAT I WANTED TO GO TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION MEETING IN AUGUST, BUT NOTICED THERE WAS NO AGENDA POSTED ON-LINE. I WENT TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE AND “DISCOVERED” THE PAPER THAT THE TOWN CLERK HAD PUT INTO THE BOOKLET THAT LISTS ALL OF THE MINUTES AND AGENDAS. (I HAD THIS LIST THAT NOTED ALL OF THE “MISSING” MINUTES AND AGENDAS FOR 2009 AND 2010.  FOR 2009, THIS WAS JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE MONTH. THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION ONLY MEETS ONCE A MONTH ON WEDNESDAYS. FOR 2010,

THERE WAS ALSO QUITE  A NUMBER OF MISSING MINUTES AND OR AGENDAS.

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED ME IF THERE WERE ANY HAND WRITINGS ON THAT DOCUMENT WHEN I RECEIVED IT FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE.

I ANSWERED THAT I PUT ON TOP OF THE PAGE (WHICH I POSTED ON THIS BLOG NOT THAT LONG AGO), “PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION, TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT” FOR THE FOI. BUT, “PUBLIC SAFETY” HAD BEEN TYPED IN BY THE TOWN CLERKS OFFICE AND ALL THE OTHER TYPED IN INFORMATION WAS FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE INCLUDED THE CROSS-OUTS INCLUDING THE CHECKS ON THE BOTTOM. THIS LIST WAS MARKED “COMPLAINANT EXHIBIT A.”

I THEN READ THE FOI RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING THE POSTING OF MINUTES AND AGENDAS INTO THE RECORD – “AN AGENDA OF EACH REGULAR MEETING MUST BE POSTED WITH THE TOWN CLERK AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE SUCH MEETING.”

“MINUTES OF MEETINGS MUST ALWAYS BE KEPT.”

I NOTED THAT ON THE BOTTOM OF MY COMPLAINT LETTER REGARDING THE MINUTES AND AGENDAS, THAT D WENT TO THE CHESHIRE, CT POLICE DEPT ON SEPT 25, 2012 ATTEMPTING TO READ THE TRAFFIC STOP REGULATIONS AND WAS TOLD “WE ARE TOO BUSY.” I SAID THIS INFORMATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON FILE AT THE POLICE DEPT AND HE WAS DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY BY STAFF.

I SAID A PERSON IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO INSPECT RECORDS UPON REQUEST DURING REGULAR BUSINESS HOURS. D SAID HE WENT TO THE RECORDS DEPARTMENT AND A REPRESENTATIVE CAME OUT, SAYING THEY WERE TOO BUSY.

I TOLD THE HEARING OFFICER THAT WE HAVE THESE RULES FOR A REASON. I HAVE FOUR JOBS-THREE OF THEM INVOLVE THE TAKING OF MINUTES FOR VARIOUS MUNICIPALITIES. I TOLD THE HEARING OFFICER I GET THEM IN ON TOWN. I SAID THESE TOWNS WOULD QUESTION RIGHT AWAY WHY MINUTES AND OR AGENDAS WERE NOT FILED.  I SAID YOU CAN’T EXPECT PEOPLE TO RUN DOWN TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE EVERY 30 DAYS TO SEE IF MINUTES AND OR AGENDAS ARE BEING FILED.  I SAID IF THEY ARE NOT FILING AN AGENDA IN THE FIRST PLACE, ONE WOULD NOT EVEN REALIZE THERE WAS A MEETING. I SAID I COULD SEE IF THE MINUTES OR AGENDAS WERE NOT FILED A FEW TIMES-BUT THIS IS OVER A TWO-YEAR PERIOD. I SAID IT WASN’T A FEW TIMES-IT WAS “JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER FOR 2009. AND THEY DID NOT EVEN GET ANY MEETING DATES FOR 2012. I SAID YOU CAN’T GO DOWN AND CHECK TO SEE IF SOMETHING IS NOT FILED ON-TIME IF IT ISN’T FILED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

D SAID HOW WOULD HE KNOW IF HE WANTED TO ATTEND A MEETING IF THERE WAS NO AGENDA. HE SAID HE DID NOT BELIEVE WHATEVER WENT ON AT THOSE MEETINGS SHOULD BE VALID.  HE SAID IT IS ONE THING, MAYBE YOU HAD AN EXCUSE BEING LATE ON MINUTES, BUT IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO OCCUR AT A MEETING.

I SAID THE TOWN CLERK DID NOTIFY THEM, THIS IS THEIR NOTIFICATION (AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE EXHIBIT A)– “REQUESTED ABOVE DOCUMENTS.”  I SAID WHY DO I SIT UP, I WORK OTHER JOBS, TO TWO OR THREE O CLOCK IN THE MORNING TO MAKE SURE I GET THE THINGS IN ON TIME.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS — “ON SEPTEMBER 25 WHEN D ASKED ABOUT THESE REGULATIONS, DID HE ASK TO REVIEW THEM OR DID HE ASK FOR A COPY.

D SAID HE ASKED TO VIEW THEM.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS ASKED IF D HAD ANY DISCUSSION WITH THIS PERSON ABOUT COMING BACK AT ANOTHER TIME, MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO VIEW THEM AT A LATER TIME.

D SAID “JUST TOO BUSY”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS ASKED IF THE ONLY RESPONSE THAT HE RECEIVED WAS THEY WERE “TOO BUSY.”

D SAID “CORRECT.” D SAID HE DID NOT EXPECT A SWORN OFFICER TO COME OUT-HE WENT TO THE RECORDS DEPARTMENT TO MAKE THE REQUEST.

I SAID IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ENFORCE THESE LAWS, THEN THEY NEED TO TAKE THEM OFF THE BOOKS.  PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO INSPECT RECORDS.  THIS LAW HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR SEVERAL YEARS, IT’S NOT LIKE IT WAS PASSED YESTERDAY, OR LAST WEEK OR LAST MONTH. ALL MUNICIPALITIES KNOW THE LAW.  THEN WE ARE PLAYING, IT’S OK FOR YOU AND NOT OK FOR OTHERS AND WE CAN’T DO THAT HERE. D SAID THIS IS A DEPARTMENT THAT ENFORCES THE LAW DAILY.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS PERMITTED THE RESPONDENTS CROSS-EXAMINATION AT THIS TIME.

ATTORNEY SMITH –”THE COMPLAINT IN WHICH I READ WAS DATED OCTOBER 1, 2012 IS THAT CORRECT?

I ANSWERED – “CORRECT.”

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED IF I RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO THAT COMPLAINT FROM THE FOIC.

I ANSWERED  – “I DID.”

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED IS THAT THE RESPONSE DATED NOVEMBER 5, 2012.

I ANSWERED -”I HAVE IT HERE-YES.

ATTORNEY SMITH  ASKED WHAT THAT SAID.

I ANSWERED – OH I AM REQUESTING A HEARING AGAIN?”

ATTORNEY SMITH SAID “NO, THE RESPONSE FROM THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION.”

I ANSWERED – “YOU HAVE NOT ALLEGED A VIOLATION OF THE FOI ACT.” AND THEN I WROTE-

ATTORNEY SMITH SAID -”PLEASE. “

I SAID -”OH-OK.”

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED “ON NOVEMBER 5, YOU RECEIVED A NOTICED FROM THE FOIC THAT YOUR OCTOBER 1 FILING DID NOT ALLEGE A VIOLATION OF THE ACT-CORRECT?

I ANSWERED – WELL THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID-CORRECT.

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED IF THAT WAS IN EVIDENCE. HEARING OFFICER ROSS SAID IT WAS IN THE RECORD. ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED -”SO YOU FILED A SUBSEQUENT LETTER”

I SAID “CORRECT.”

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED – “AND THAT WAS DATED NOVEMBER 18, 2012?

I ANSWERED-”BUT I HAD CALLED THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION AFTER I HAD RECEIVED THIS CORRESPONDENCE AND THE SECRETARY CYNTHIA CANNATA REQUESTED THAT I JUST NARROW IT DOWN AND MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE CLEARER BUT I THOUGHT I WAS CLEAR.”

ATTORNEY SMITH ASKED-”IN YOUR SECOND FILING  TO THE COMMISSION DATED NOVEMBER 18, 2012, DID YOU MAKE AN ALLEGATION CONCERNING THE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS”

I ANSWERED-” I DON’T SEE IT IN HERE.”

ATTORNEY SMITH – I ASSUME THE NOVEMBER 18,2012 COMPLAINT IS IN THE RECORD?

HEARING OFFICER ROSS-”A LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 18, 2012? – YES.

ATTORNEY SMITH-”NOW WHEN YOU WENT TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE AND OBTAINED THE LIST MARKED EXHIBIT A, DID YOU INSPECT THE FILES TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS ACCURATE?

I ANSWERED-”YES, IN FACT THE AGENDA FOR THAT MONTHS MEETING WAS FILED FOUR WEEKS LATE.” YES, BECAUSE THE OCTOBER MEETING WAS LATE-YES, I WENT THROUGH THE BOOK, I DID, BECAUSE THAT (EXHIBIT A) WAS THE FIRST PAGE IN THE BOOK AND THEN I FLIPPED ——

ATTORNEY SMITH- “AND WHEN YOU REVIEWED THE FILES, YOU DIDN;T-YOU FOUND THAT THIS LIST WAS AN ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT WAS OR WASN’T IN THE BOOK?

I ANSWERED-”YES”

ATTORNEY SMITH- “AND YOU DID NOT ASK TO THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST-YOU DID NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING AND WERE DENIED ACCESS TO IT?

I ANSWERED – “NO, WHATEVER WAS IN THE BOOK I LOOKED AT.”

ATTORNEY SMITH – “SO YOU WERE NOT DENIED ACCESS  TO ANYTHING THAT WAS THERE IN RESPECT TO THE DOCUMENTS.”

I ANSWERED-”OH NO-NO.” WHATEVER WAS IN THE BOOK I LOOKED AT, WHATEVER WAS AVAILABLE I LOOKED AT AND EVERYTHING WAS LATE.

ATTORNEY SMITH – “I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU – WITH REGARDS TO I THINK YOU WERE ASKED, WHETHER THIS LIST MATCHED UP WITH WHAT RECORDS WERE IN THEIR BOOK, AND YOU MADE SOME REFERENCE TO THE 2012 MEETINGS? IS THAT CORRECT? YOU MADE REFERENCE TO A SEPTEMBER 2012 MEETING.

I ANSWERED-”THERE WAS A MEETING —NO. I HAD GONE DOWN THERE, IN SEPTEMBER-WHATEVER, AND THEY HAD A MEETING, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MEETING LIKE  IN OCTOBER, I THINK THEY MEET THE THIRD WEDNESDAY, AND THAT WAS FILED LATE. I MEAN IT WAS IN SEPTEMBER AND IT WAS LATE.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “SO IN OTHER WORDS, –

I ANSWERED- “THE SEPTEMBER MEETING WAS LATE.” THEY MEET ONCE A MONTH.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS-”SO THE DATE OF YOUR COMPLAINT IS OCTOBER  1,2012, SO WHAT I AM GETTING AT IS, DID YOU LOOK TO SEE WHETHER THE MINUTES OR AGENDAS WERE PROPERLY ON FILE FOR THE YEAR 2012 OR WAS THERE A REASON THAT YOU FOCUSED ON 2009 AND 2010?

I ANSWERED- “BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT–I DIDN’T. I WENT DOWN TO SEE WHAT THE AGENDA WAS GOING TO BE FOR THE SEPTEMBER MEETING –

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – “SEPTEMBER 2012″?

I ANSWERED- -AND IT WAS LATE. BUT WHEN I OPENED THE BOOK-HERE’S THE BOOK,  I WENT LIKE THIS —AND THE WOMEN IN THE TOWN CLERK-SAID OH SEE-THEY DON’T FILE LOOK, WE KEPT TRACK OF IT.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “SO I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SAW THAT THE AGENDA FOR THE SEPTEMBER 2012 MEETING WAS LATE, WHAT I AM TRYING TO ELICIT FROM YOU, DID YOU LOOK,BECAUSE OCTOBER 1 IS THE DATE OF YOUR COMPLAINT, DID YOU LOOK THROUGH THE 2012 MEETING AGENDA AND —

I ANSWERED- “YES AND THEY WERE ALL LATE.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – AND MINUTES.

I ANSWERED- “THEY WERE ALL LATE, I DON’T WHY THEY DON’T HAVE-I DON’T KNOW-I LOOKED.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS -WHEN YOU SAY THEY WERE ALL LATE, WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THAT?

I ANSWERED- -”THE AGENDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE FILED 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE, LIKE FOR AUGUST, IT WAS FILED LIKE LATE-SEVERAL DAYS LATE.  A LOT OF TIMES, THE AGENDA —-

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “THAT IS YOUR RECOLLECTION FOR 2012 ALL OF THE AGENDAS

I ANSWERED – I CAN’T SAY ALL OF THEM, BUT WHEN I FOUND THIS (EXHIBIT A), OH THEY JUST DID, MY WORK BASICALLY BY WRITING DOWN—.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- OK, BUT YOU DON’T ALLEGE ANYTHING YOU HAVEN’T ALLEGED ANYTHING–

I ANSWERED – “I AM ONLY ALLEGING WHAT’S ON THE SHEET AND THE SEPTEMBER 2012 AGENDA THAT WAS LATE. BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO GO TO THAT MEETING AND THEY DIDN’T HAVE AN AGENDA. I WENT TO THE TOWN CLERK.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- DID YOU RECALL THAT DATE OF THE SEPTEMBER MEETING, WHEN IT WAS TO HAVE BEEN HELD?

I ANSWERED- “I BELIEVE THEY MEET THE THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH. BECAUSE I REMEMBER CALLING DOWN THERE AND I GOT TOLD –”OH, I CALLED FOI, I CONTACTED FIO AND GOT TOLD IT ONLY HAS TO BE ON FILE WITH THE TOWN CLERK AND I SAID-NO. IF YOU HAVE A WEBSITE WHICH THEY HAVE, IT SAYS YOU MUST-MUST FILE IT ONLINE.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS-SO WITH REGARDS TO THE SEPTEMBER 2012 MEETING, DO YOU RECALL SEEING WHEN YOU WENT IN SEPTEMBER, I DON’T THINK YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE DATE YOU WENT, DO YOU RECALL THE DATE THAT THE AGENDA WAS POSTED WITH THE TOWN CLERK FOR THIS MEETING”

I ANSWERED- “IT WAS LIKE THREE DAYS LATE.” THEY HAD IT STAMPED “RECEIVED.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “OK” SO AS I SEE THIS, YOU ARE ALLEGING THAT THERE ARE NO MINUTES AND AGENDAS ON FILE FOR THE YEARS 2009 AND 2010. IS THAT CORRECT.

I ANSWERED- YES, THAT IS CORRECT.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- BUT YOUR COMPLAINT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU ARE STATING TODAY AND I THINK WE SHOULD CLARIFY THIS. YOU ARE STATING IN YOUR COMPLAINT THAT THE RESPONDENTS FAILED TO FILE TIMELY MINUTES AND AGENDAS FROM 2009 TO 2011. SHOULD THAT–

I ANSWERED- NO, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 2010.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- OK

ATTORNEY SMITH – JUST A POINT – 2009 TO 2010 OR 2010 TO 2011.

I ANSWERED-WHATEVER IT SAYS ON THIS LETTER.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – ON THE LETTER ON THE COMPLAINT DATED OCTOBER 1, OR THE LIST FROM THE TOWN CLERK?

I ANSWERED-”THE LIST FROM THE TOWN CLERK.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – “THE LIST FROM THE TOWN CLERK STATES THAT THERE WERE NO AGENDAS OR MINUTES FROM 2009 AND 2010 SO THAT IS YOUR ALLEGATION.

I ANSWERED – YES.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- OK. AND WHEN I SAY–AND WHERE I AM GETTING THIS, JUST FOR EVERYONE’S PURPOSE , FOR THE RECORD, THAT’S THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS LETTER—”DEAR FOI I AM REQUESTING A HEARING TO DISCUSS ON-GOING VIOLATIONS OF THIS PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION WHICH DID NOT FILE TIMELY MINUTES OR AGENDAS FOR 2009 TO 2011.

ATTORNEY SMITH—NOT LEGIBLE.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS-”THIS IS THE COMPLAINT – OCTOBER 1, 2012. THE NEXT PART OF THIS COMPLAINT, IS A RESCITATION OF WHAT THE COMPLAINANT BELIEVES IS THE LAW, SO I DON’T CONSIDER THAT TO BE AN ALLEGATION, AND THE NEXT ALLEGATION CONTAINED IN THE COMPLAINT, IS THIS DENIAL OF A REQUEST TO VIEW THESE TRAFFIC STOPS REGULATIONS. IS THIS CORRECT?

I ANSWERED- “CORRECT.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “NOW TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTIONS THE RESPONDENT’S COUNCIL IS ASKING, WHEN THE CLERK ASKED FOR -WHEN WE SEND THAT LETTER-WE CALL THAT ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL, AND ASK PEOPLE TO WRITE BACK, WE DO NOT CONSIDER THE WRITING BACK WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, TO BE A NEW OR SEPARATE COMPLAINT. SO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. THE NOVEMBER 18TH LETTER, YOU ARE CLARIFYING THAT THE COMMISSION DID NOT FILE MINUTES OR AGENDAS FROM 2009 TO 2011 BUT NOW YOU ARE STATING IT SHOULD HAVE READ 2010 WITH THE CLERK’S OFFICE.

I ANSWERED- YES, OK, WHAT IS ON THE SHEET.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “AS OF OCT 5, 2012, NO MEETING DATES FOR 2012 WERE FILED WITH THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE.

I ANSWERED – “WELL THAT IS THE TOWN CLERK’S PAPER- THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE KEEPING TRACK OF IT.

HR ROSS- OK.

ATTY SMITH- SO YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO VERIFY THAT IS THE CASE, YOU ARE JUST REPORTING WHAT THE TOWN CLERK TOLD YOU, YOU DON’T HAVE—

I ANSWERED-”I AM REPORTING WHAT 2012? YEAH, I MEAN NO-I AM ONLY REPORTING WHAT SHE GAVE ME, AND THAT YOU KNOW, WHEN I RECEIVED IT, I SENT IT RIGHT IN, SO THAT WAS LIKE RIGHT UP TO THE MINUTE, I DIDN’T WAIT LIKE SIX MONTHS—-I SENT IT RIGHT IN-AT THAT POINT IN TIME, THIS WAS ACCURATE–AT THE POINT IN TIME WHEN I SENT THE CORRESPONDENCE TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION, THIS WAS AN ACCURATE REFLECTION.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “WHEN YOU STATE NO MEETING DATES FOR 2012—

I ANSWERED – “I DIDN’T STATE THAT-THE TOWN CLERK DID.”

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- “LET ME REPHRASE THAT”

I ANSWERED – “OK”

HR ROSS – “WHEN YOU RECEIVED THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAS BEEN MARKED “COMPLAINANT EXHIBIT A,” THAT STATES “MEETING DATES FOR 2012″ HOW DID YOU INTERPRET THAT?  WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?

I ANSWERED – “THAT THERE WERE NO–IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN HER MIND, BUT IN MY OPINION, YOU KNOW BEING A NEWSPAPER REPORTER FOR 25 YEARS AND DOING THIS FOR A LIVING, I INTERPRET IT AS NO MEETING DATES. BECAUSE SHE SAID “REQUESTED-ABOVE DOCUMENTS.”

HR ROSS- “WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, NO MEETING DATES DO YOU KNOW?

I ANSWERED – “USUALLY, ALRIGHT, I KNOW THE TOWN OF WINDSOR DOES IT AND THE TOWN OF WALLINGFORD, WHAT THEY’LL DO IS, AT THE END OF THE YEAR, THEY WILL HAVE A MEETING AND THEY WILL HAVE ON THEIR AGENDA, LET’S SET THE MEETING DATES FOR THE NEXT YEAR.

HR ROSS – SO YOU INTERPRETED THE STATEMENT “MEETING DATES FOR 2012″ THAT THE RESPONDENTS HAD NOT FILED THEIR SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS FOR 2012.”

I ANSWERED – “CORRECT, BECAUSE IT SAYS “RECEIVED” AND IT IS NOT CHECKED.”

HR ROSS- “I UNDERSTAND, OK”

ME – “THANK YOU.

HR ROSS- “ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ASK AT THIS TIME”

ATTY SMITH- NO.

HR ROSS- IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY BEFORE THE RESPONDENTS PUT THERE WITNESS ON?

ME – WELL, YOUR HONOR, ARE YOU YOUR HONOR OR JUST MS. ROSS. ATTY ROSS, THIS IS NOT, LOOK YOU KNOW, I KNOW WHAT GOES ON, BECAUSE I WORK FOR SEVERAL COMMISSIONS IN SEVERAL TOWNS.

HR ROSS- IF THIS IS MORE OF A CLOSING ARGUMENT YOU CAN HOLD THAT TO THE END BECAUSE THE RESPONDENTS HAVE NOT PUT ON THEIR CASE YET.

ME – OH OK.

ATTY SMITH – WOULD YOU (THE WITNESS), IDENTIFY YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD PLEASE?

CHIEF DRYFE – SURE, NEIL DRYFE, I AM THE POLICE CHIEF IN CHESHIRE.

ATTY SMITH-AND YOU ARE HERE ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE DEPT.

CHIEF DRYFE – I AM

ATTY SMITH – WHAT ROLE DOES THE POLICE DEPT PLAY WITH RESPECT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION?

CHIEF DRYFE- WE PROVIDE STAFF SUPPORT AND THERE IS A LINE ITEM IN OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET THAT PAYS FOR THE STENOGRAPHER THAT GOES TO THE MEETINGS AND THERE IS A LT. IN THE POLICE DEPT WHO IS ASSIGNED TO ATTEND THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION MEETINGS.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS -”IS THIS A POLICE COMMISSION.

CHIEF DRYFE- IT IS NOT A POLICE COMMISSION.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – “CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION.

CHIEF DRYFE- IT IS AN ADVISORY COMMISSION THAT REVIEWS PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES IN THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, GIVES ADVICE TO THE TOWN COUNCIL.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- I’M SORRY CAN YOU REPEAT AGAIN, WHO IS ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION?

CHIEF DRYFE- “THEY ARE RESIDENTS, BASICALLY,  WHO ARE APPOINTED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL TO SERVE OVERLAPPING FOUR YEAR TERMS.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – RESIDENTS? OK, I’M SORRY, IF COULD JUST STATE AGAIN HOW THE POLICE DEPT IN CHESHIRE IS RELATED TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION?

CHIEF DRYFE- “WE PROVIDE STAFF SUPPORT ESSENTIALLY, A LT FROM THE POLICE DEPT ATTENDS THE MEETINGS AND THERE IS A LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET THAT PAYS FOR THE STENOGRAPHER, COURT REPORTER THAT ACTUALLY TAKES THE MINUTES.  THAT IS ESSENTIALLY OUR ROLE ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION.

HR ROSS- THANK YOU.

ATTY SMITH- NOW IN SUPPORT OF THE COMMISSION, HAVE YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE DEFENDANTS EXHIBIT A IN THE ALLEGATIONS?

CHIEF DRYFE -  YES.

ATTY SMITH – AND HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE STATUS OF THE AGENDAS AND THE MINUTES LISTED IN THAT EXHIBIT A

CHIEF DRYFE – NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT QUITE A FEW OF THEM.YES.

ATTY SMITH – CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW AND YOUR FINDINGS?

CHIEF DRYFE – I THINK THERE WERE CERTAINLY SOME CASES WHERE — I WILL GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND —I WAS SWORN IN AS POLICE CHIEF JANUARY 3, 2011, I DID NOT WORK FOR THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT PRIOR TO THAT. WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED THERE, I NOTED THIS LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET AND I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT, SAT DOWN WITH THE STAFF PERSON WHO WAS ASSIGNED AND EXPLAINED WHAT IT WAS. I WOULD NOTE THAT AS NEAR AS WE CAN TELL AS OF RIGHT NOW, SINCE JANUARY 2011,THERE IS A JULY 11 2012 WHERE THERE WAS NO MEETING, BUT THERE IS NOT A NO MEETING NOTICE ON FILE WITH THE CLERK AND THEN SADLY, THE MARCH 13, 2013 MEETING MINUTES WERE FILED LATE-THEY ARE CURRENTLY ON FILE.  OTHER THAN THAT, THESE ISSUES PRE-DATE ME, AND THERE IS REALLY NO WAY, FOR SOME OF THE CASES WHERE THE ALLEGATIONS DOCUMENT THAT THE CLERK PREPARED AND LEFT IN THE FILE, THERE IS NO WAY TO GO BACK TO 2009 TO EVEN DETERMINE IF THERE WAS A MEETING, WHICH I THINK MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE MAIN FOCUSES OF THE COMPLAINT. BUT TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY, WE UPDATED –THERE WERE THINGS THAT WERE ON FILE IN THE CLERKS OFFICE THAT IN FACT, WERE NOT ON THE TOWNS WEBSITE AND THAT’S BEEN REMEDIED. BUT AGAIN, SOME OF THESE, WHEN YOU GO BACK, THERE IS TURNOVER ON THE COMMISSION, THERE’S A NEW POLICE CHIEF, THERE’S A NEW STAFF PERSON FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED AND WE WERE NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE OR NOT ABLE TO EVEN  SAY, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, IN SOME INSTANCES, WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS A MEETING FOR EXAMPLE IN FEBRUARY 2009 I JUST DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THOSE QUESTIONS.

ATTY SMITH – PERHAPS WE SHOULD—

HR ROSS-CAN I INTERRUPT FOR A SECOND?  SO JUST FOCUSING ON STARTING FROM JANUARY 2011 FORWARD, YOUR TESTIMONY IS THAT THERE WERE ONLY TWO INSTANCES WHERE THERE WAS AN AGENDA THAT WAS LATE OR MINUTES THAT WERE LATE?

CHIEF DRYFE-ON JULY 11, 2012 THERE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE A MEETING BUT IT WAS CANCELED, THERE WAS  NO NO MEETING NOTICE  FILED IN THE CLERKS OFFICE AND THEN THE AGENDA MINUTES FOR THE LAST MONTH WERE FILED LATE BY A COUPLE OF DAYS.  AND AGAIN THERE WERE INSTANCES WHERE THERE WERE DOCUMENTS ON FILE IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE, THAT WERE NOT CORRESPONDINGLY ON THE WEBSITE. AND THAT HAS BEEN RECTIFIED. AND AGAIN THAT DOCUMENT THAT BECAME THAT EXHIBIT THERE, IS APPARENTLY OR WAS APPARENTLY IN THE FRONT OF THE FILE THAT THE CLERK;S OFFICE MAINTAINS, BUT I NEVER WENT DOWN TO INSPECT WHAT WAS THERE AND WHAT WASN’T AND I AM NOT SURE WHO THEY REQUESTED THE RECORDS FROM BUT IT WAS NOT FROM ME.

HR ROSS-SO FROM 2011 FORWARD, DID YOU CHECK TO SEE, FOR 2011 FORWARD, THAT THE AGENDAS AND MEETING MINUTES WERE FILED WITH THE TOWN CLERK.

CHIEF DRYFE-I HAD SOMEONE DO IT-YES. I AM COMFORTABLE THAT THEY ARE THERE.
IN FACT, THE TOWN’S WEBSITE IS UPDATED AND I BELIEVE YOU CAN CLICK ON ALL THESE LINKS AND GO TO THE ACTUAL DOCUMENTS.

HR ROSS- OK THANK YOU.

ATTY SMITH – I WONDER IF WE SHOULD ENTER THESE INTO THE RECORD.

HR ROSS- DO YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTION?

ME – MAY I EXAMINE THE DOCUMENT?

HR ROSS- OF COURSE.

ME- THANK YOU.

CHIEF DRYFE- I DON’T BELIEVE IT GOES BACK TO 2009. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE RETENTION IS ON THAT.

ATTY SMITH – FOR PURPOSES OF IDENTIFICATION, THIS IS THE PRINTOUT FROM THE TOWNS WEBSITE.

CHIEF DRYFE -THIS IS THE LAST THING I DID BEFORE I CAME HERE WAS PRINT IT RIGHT OFF THE TOWN’ OF CHESHIRE’S  WEBSITE.

ME – BUT WAIT A MINUTE BUT THIS SAYS “PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION – AGENDAS, MINUTES,

OTHER COMMISSIONS, ECONOMIC, OH THEN IT SAYS “PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION-SEPT. 12, 2012 AND OCTOBER 10. SO WHERE IS AUGUST, AND WHERE IS SEPTEMBERS, OH HERE IS SEPTEMBER, WE DON’T KNOW WHERE AUGUST WENT AND WE DON’T HAVE JULY IN THERE EITHER, IT JUST SAYS, OK, PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION SEPT 12 2012 MINUTES, OCT 10, 2012 AGENDA, OH WAIT A MINUTE -4-22 2013 OH NO MINUTES TILL THE NEXT MEETING-PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION HERE  IS THE DATE —LOOKING IT OVER–

HR ROSS-DO YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THIS BEING MARKED AS AN EXHIBIT.

ME – NO.

HR ROSS- THIS WILL BE MARKED AS RESPONDENT’S EXHIBIT 1.

ATTY SMITH – WHAT SPECIFICALLY HAVE YOU, AND THE POLICE DEPT DONE TO IMPROVE THE FILING OF AGENDAS AND MINUTES.

CHIEF DRYFE- TO BE QUITE FRANK, I DIDN’T THINK THERE REALLY THAT MUCH THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WERE AGENDAS AND MEETING MINUTES MISSING FROM THE TIME PRIOR TO MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE TOWN UNTIL WE RECEIVED THIS COMPLAINT AND THE INFORMATION FROM IT. SINCE I’VE BEEN THERE, AGAIN, IT’S NOT FOOLPROOF, THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A NO MEETING NOTICE  ONE THAT IS MISSING AND AGAIN THE MARCH 2013 MINUTES WERE FILED LATE. WE RECEIVED THEM IN OUR OFFICE, THE STAFFPERSON, THE LIASON, RECEIVED THEM AND NEGLECTED TO FORWARD THEM TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE IN A TIMELY FASHION.  SO THEY WERE LATE. BUT AGAIN, FOR GOING ON TWO AND HALF YEARS I HAVE BEEN THERE, THE PERSON ASSIGNED TO DO IT HAS BEEN DOING IT PROPERLY, SO GOING BACK NOW TO TRY TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED, I DON’T EVEN BELIEVE THE PERSON WHO WAS ASSIGNED AS A STAFF PERSON IN 2009 -2010 IS EVEN EMPLOYED BY THE POLICE DEPT ANYMORE., AND THE CHIEF WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE THAT THE WORK WAS GETTING DONE IS NOT EMPLOYED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ANYMORE.  SO AS FAR AS GOING BACK AND TRYING TO RECREATE THOSE, THERE WERE SOME FILED BUT NOT ON THE WEBSITE, AND THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME ON THE WEBSITE BUT NOT IN THE CLERK’S OFFICE AND I THINK TO THE EXTENT THAT IT COULD BE REMEDIED BY THE TOWN’S PUBLIC INFORMATION PERSON THAT ITS BEEN DONE.

HR ROSS- OK.

ATTY SMITH – I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

HR ROSS- DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THE ALLEGED VIOLATIONS IN REGARD TO THE REQUEST TO VIEW THE TRAFFIC STOP REGULATIONS?

CHIEF DRYFE – “FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT IT. (ME) WAS THE SUBJECT OF A TRAFFIC STOP SHE FILED A CITIZENS COMPLAINT (EDITORS NOTE-THE ONLY ONE) – IT WAS NOT A TRAFFIC STOP AS YOU KNOW-I WAS PARKED).

CONTINUING WITH CHIEF DRYFE

“IT WAS INVESTIGATED, DISCIPLINARY ACTION WAS TAKEN AGAINST THE POLICE OFFICER-I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS SOME ATTEMPT AGAIN THAT BEING SAID, I AM NOT SURE WHAT “TRAFFIC STOP” REGULATIONS ARE. I DON’T HAVE A DOCUMENT THAT SAYS “TRAFFIC STOP REGULATIONS” ON IT. BUT I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE HAD BEEN A REQUEST TO VIEW ANY DOCUMENT – I PROVIDED IN THE CONTEXT OF THAT CITIZEN’S COMPLAINT THAT AROSE FROM THAT INCIDENT, DOCUMENTS WERE IN FACT, PROVIDED TO THEM AS PART OF THE REQUEST THAT THEY MADE-(ME) REQUESTED TO SEE TRAFFIC TICKETS THAT WERE WRITTEN BY THE POLICE OFFICER WHO TICKETED HER AND THEY WERE TURNED OVER TO HER IN A TIMELY FASHION. WE HAVE AN EXCHANGE OF E-MAILS WHERE WE NARROWED DOWN THEIR RECORDS REQUEST AND THE INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO HER, AND DISCUSSED IT WITH HER, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS A REQUEST FROM (D) TO DO ANYTHING SEPARATELY UNTIL I READ IT IN THE REPORT.

HR ROSS- OK

ATTY SMITH- SO YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY DOCUMENTS –(INAUDIBLE)–

CHIEF DRYFE-  NO. I DON’T KNOW IF THOSE ARE STATE REGULATIONS —I HAVE NO IDEA —

ATTY SMITH-AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THE POLICE DEPT DOES NOT HAVE A SET OF REGULATIONS GOVERNING WHEN TO PERFORM A TRAFFIC STOP OR HOW TO HANDLE A TRAFFIC STOP—-

CHIEF DRYFE –WE DO HAVE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT –ABOUT TRAFFIC STOPS, AGAIN I’M NOT SURE IF THAT IS WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR OR IF THAT IS WHAT HE WANTED TO SEE AT THE TIME—

HEARING OFFICER ROSS – OK. SO YOU ARE NOT THE PERSON WHO ALLEGEDLY TOLD THE COMPLAINANT HE WAS TOO BUSY.

CHIEF DRYFE – NO.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS- DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT PERSON WAS?

CHIEF DRYFE – IT’S EITHER THE RECORDS STAFF OR CAPTAIN VIGNOLA. CAPTAIN VIGNOLA IS A MEMBER OF THE COMMAND STAFF EMPLOYED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

HEARING OFFICER ROSS -OK. DO YOU HAVE ANY FOLLOW-UP TO MY QUESTIONS FOR THE POLICE CHIEF?

D – YEAH, YOU MENTIONED BECAUSE IT WAS PRIOR TO YOUR TIME, YOU WEREN’T SURE IF THERE WERE CERTAIN MEETINGS THAT TOOK PLACE, BUT YOU HAD IN THE BUDGET OR IN THE BUDGET PRIOR TO YOUR TIME, FOR RECORDING CLERK. IS THE CLERK PAID BY THE YEAR OR BY THE MEETING, AND IF THE CLERK IS PAID BY THE MEETING, WOULD WE KNOW WHEN THE MEETINGS TOOK PLACE BASED ON WHEN THE CLERK WAS PAID?

CHIEF DRYFE – YEAH, I HAVE NO REASON TO LOOK TO SEE WHEN THE CLERK WAS PAID, I BELIEVE SHE IS PAID ON A PER DIEM BASIS.  THERE’S A MEETING, SHE PRODUCES MINUTES, SHE’S COMPENSATED FOR THAT.

D -WELL SHE WOULD ASK FOR PAYMENT FOR A MEETING, WOULDN’T SHE? IF THE MEETING TOOK PLACE?

CHIEF DRYFE – YES.

D – WOULD YOU HAVE A HISTORY OF PAYMENTS AND FOR WHAT MEETINGS THOSE WERE SO YOU WOULD KNOW  IF A MEETING TOOK PLACE?

CHIEF DRYFE – I’M SURE THOSE RECORDS EXIST SOMEWHERE, I HAD NO REASON TO LOOK AT THEM.

D – WELL, TO DETERMINE IF A MEETING TOOK PLACE AND WHETHER RECORDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FILED-THAT WOULD BE THE PURPOSE.

ATTY  SMITH -I DON’T THINK THAT IS A QUESTION.

CHIEF DRYFE – YEAH. ME NEITHER.

D -WHEN I ASKED FOR THE INFORMATION ON THE TRAFFIC STOPS WHAT THE PROCEDURES WERE AT THE RECORDS OFFICE, MR. VIGNOLA CAME OUT AND HE ASKED WHETHER IT WAS TOWN OR STATE AND I SAID BOTH.

ATTY SMITH- I DON’T THINK THAT IS A QUESTION EITHER.

HR ROSS – SO, IF I UNDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, WHEN I ASKED YOU BEFORE ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, YOU STATED THAT THE ONLY THING THIS CAPTAIN VIGNOLA SAID TO YOU  IS THAT THEY WERE “TOO BUSY.” WAS THERE IN FACT OTHER CONVERSATION?

D – NO. HE SAID-YOU COULD TELL- HIS EYES WERE LIKE “THAT’S IT.”

HR ROSS -DIDN’T YOU JUST TESTIFY-DIDN’T YOU JUST ASK -IT WASN’T A QUESTION -DIDN’T YOU JUST STATE THAT THIS MAN CAPTAIN VIGNOLA SAID TO YOU-DO YOU WANT FEDERAL OR STATE-

D -STATE OR CHESHIRE.

HR ROSS-  OK SO THERE WAS ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION-HE JUST DIDN’T SAY TO YOU I’M TOO BUSY.

D – HE WANTED TO KNOW WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

HR ROSS- DID YOU EXPLAIN IT TO HIM?

D  – YEAH, AND HE SAID WOULD YOU BE LOOKING TO SEE CHESHIRE OR STATE REGULATIONS AND HE SAID WELL, “I’M TOO BUSY.”

HR ROSS-  WAS THERE ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION – YOU SURE?

D – YES.

HR ROSS- OK =ANY FOLLOW UP? – OK. ALRIGHT,  UM, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE THEY WANT TO SAY IN TERMS OF EVIDENCE WISE OTHERWISE WE’LL DO CLOSING STATEMENTS. OK-WE WILL START WITH THE COMPLAINANT-WE WILL PROCEED.

ME – YOU HONOR, OR MS. ROSS, WE HAVE THESE REGULATIONS FOR A REASON. WE DON’T HAVE THEM BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE CAN OBEY THEM AND OTHERS CAN’T. WE DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY LIKE THAT. WE DON’T. I MEAN, I’LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, THERE ARE SOMETIMES WHEN THE MINUTES MIGHT BE A DAY LATE, I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, SOMEBODY’S SICK- OR WHATEVER. WE CAN’T HAVE -1/13 NO AGENDA; 2/10; 3/10, 4/12; 5, 6-THE WHOLE YEAR.  WE CAN’T. IT’S NOT EXCUSABLE. “OH WELL, WE RECTIFIED IT SO IT’S OK.”  WELL, YOU KNOW I DROVE DRUNK, HIT AND KILLED YOUR FAMILY, NOW I DON’T DO IT ANYMORE SO IT IS OK-NO IT’S NOT. IT’S NOT OK BECAUSE THE REST OF US ARE OBEYING THE LAW WE ARE OBEYING THE REGULATIONS. THE TOWN OF WINDSOR IS OBEYING THE REGULATIONS-THE TOWN OF WALLINGFORD IS OBEYING THE REGULATIONS. IN FACT WINDSOR, AFTER TOMORROW’S (PBC) MEETING, ON WEDNESDAY, SHE POSTS THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING THE NEXT DAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH. THEY ARE OBEYING THE RULE-THEY HAVE THE ACTION GRID THAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE WITHIN 48 HOURS, THE MINUTES-ON TIME-ON TIME. WE CAN’T HAVE- OH WELL, IT’S OK NOW-IT’S NOT.  THEN THEY HAVE TO REPEAL THESE LAWS YOU CAN’T HAVE SOME PEOPLE DOING IT AND THEN THE AVERAGE CITIZEN SHOULDN’T HAVE TO CALL, LIKE I DID IN SEPTEMBER 2012 , GEE I DIDN’T SEE ANYTHING ON THE TOWN WEBSITE OR IN THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE ARE YOU HAVING A MEETING AND I HAD TO TALK TO LT FASANO-”OH YEAH WE’RE HAVING A MEETING.” AND THEN I WENT TO THE MEETING AND THEN THEY SAID THEY DIDN’T HAVE A QUORUM SO THEY CANCELED IT. WE CAN’T BE CALLING TO ASK “ARE YOU HAVING A MEETING.” WE CAN’T BE RUNNING DOWN TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE TO SAY “GEE IS THE AGENDA ON TIME-FILED ON TIME” IT IS YOUR JOB-DO IT. I DON’T HAVE TIME TO RUN DOWN-LET ME SEE-LET ME RUN DOWN THERE EVERY MONTH NOW AND SEE –THE LAW SAYS “IF” “IF” “IF” YOU HAVE A WEBSITE, THE AGENDA AND THE MINUTES MUST BE PUBLISHED ON THERE. I’M NOT MS. CLEO-I DON’T KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE DOING THINGS OR NOT. THESE LAWS ARE IMPORTANT TO ME-THEY ARE. IT IS –GIVES PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO KNOW-IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF THIS WHOLE COUNTRY. I DON’T CARE ABOUT THIS 30 DAYS–OH  WELL YOU DIDN’T GET THE WORDS RIGHT-IT’S NOT TRAFFIC STOP — LOOK, WE’RE ORDINARY PEOPLE, WE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE WORDING IS.  I GIVE IT TO THEM IF IT WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES-IT’S NOT–LOOK AT IT. IT’S WRONG-IT’S JUST WRONG. IT’S A KICK IN THE CROTCH TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THE THING ON TIME – THAT ARE SITTING UP ALL NIGHT, “OH I BETTER HURRY UP AND GET IT”-ON VACATION DOING IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS THERE ON TIME.

HR ROSS-IS THERE ANYTHING YOU (D) WANT TO SAY?

D – YEAH.  I CAN’T BELIEVE A MEETING WOULD BE VALID IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN AGENDA BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO ATTEND A MEETING IF THEY KNOW WHAT’S GOING TO TAKE PLACE AT THE MEETING. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO ATTEND EACH AND EVERY MEETING IF RELEVANT THINGS TO THEM AREN’T TAKING PLACE AT THE MEETING, BUT IF THERE IS SOME SUBJECT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN, YOU SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THAT THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE DISCUSSED AT THAT MEETING, OTHERWISE THE MEETING SHOULD BE INVALID, I DON’T CARE HOW OLD IT WAS THE MEETING HAS TO TAKE PLACE ALL OVER AGAIN, AND ANY VOTES DURING  THAT MEETING SHOULD BE INVALID. ANY EXPENDITURES FOR RECORDING CLERKS OR WHATEVER, SHOULDN’T COME OUT OF THE BUDGET, IT SHOULD COME OUT OF THE GIFT ACCOUNT, THEY GET A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR, TAKE IT OUT OF THAT. AND LIKE MY WIFE SAID, THEY KNOW WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR, THEY JUST DIDN’T WANT TO GO THERE BECAUSE THEY VIOLATED MY WIFE’S CIVIL RIGHTS.  THEY STOPPED BECAUSE WE QUESTIONED THINGS-THEY QUESTIONED THINGS, WE QUESTIONED THINGS-YOU GET TICKETS AFTER TICKETS ON REALLY MUNDANE STUFF-RIDING A MOPED AND BEING CITED FOR RIDING A BICYCLE, MY LICENSE PLATE WASN’T ILLUMINATED ALLEGEDLY AND I WENT DOWN AND THEY SAID YES IT WAS ILLUMINATED BUT NOT FOR 50 FEET  – AND ALL THAT -IT IS RIDICULOUS WHAT GOES ON AND THEY WANTED AN ACCOMODATION BEFORE THIS MEETING? THEY DON’T ACCOMODATE-LIKE MY WIFE SAID: ” I WAS DRUNK AND KILLED SOMEBODY BUT I WON’T DO IT ANYMORE-THEY ENFORCE THE LAW EVERY DAY AND THEY SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO ADHERE TO THE LAW TOO. THEY WON’T GIVE ANYBODY A BREAK.

HR ROSS- THANK YOU.

ATTY SMITH – THE TOWN CERTAINLY ADMITS IT’S FALLEN SHORT IN THE PAST, IN SEVERAL RESPECTS. I THINK THE RECORD SHOWS THINGS ARE IMPROVING AND ARE GETTING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND YOU HEARD FROM THE CHIEF THAT HE IS COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT THE LAWS ARE OBEYED.

HR ROSS-  AND WITH THAT WE WILL CLOSE THE HEARING AT 3:06 P.M.

APPARENTLY, NOT ALL OF THE CHESHIRE, CT POLICE CARS HAVE THE GPS. YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE MONEY THEY REQUEST FROM THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT DURING THE BUDGET WORKSHOP AND THE $165,000 THEY GET EACH YEAR FROM ELIM PARK-THEY WOULD HAVE THE STATE OF ART GPS IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES.
 HOW CONVENIENT-THE AUDIO TO THESE EXPENSIVE DASH CAMS CONVENIENTLY DID NOT WORK AND CONVENIENTLY, NOT ALL OF THE PATROL CARS HAVE GPS. THINGS ONLY WORK WHEN IT BENEFITS THEM- OR I SHOULD SAY DON’T WORK WHEN IT BENEFITS THEM.
I AM NOT SPEAKING TO THESE PEOPLE. THE TOWN MANAGER’S OFFICE SAID I SHOULD CALL THEM AND THEY WILL BE GLAD TO ASSIST ME. NO-I DON’T THINK SO. NOT ANYMORE. LAST SUMMER DID IT FOR ME-AND THEN THEY TRY TO RESORT TO INSULTS-EMPHASIS ON THE WORD TRY. THE IDIOT  COP SOUNDS LIKE A CRETAN WHEN HE WRITES ON OTHER THREADS-MAYBE HE SHOULD STOP SLEEPING WITH HIS MOTHER.
THE LAW FIRM REPRESENTING THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT MADE A MOTION TO DISMISS MY COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CHESHIRE,CT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION FOR FAILURE TO FILE TIMELY MINUTES AND OR AGENDAS OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD.
THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION-HAS DENIED THEIR MOTION TO DISMISS.
KEEPIN IT REAL
HEY BUDDY- YOUR COP PAL WAS BUSTED ON MONDAY AROUND 6 P.M. BEING WHERE HE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE. AND IT IS ON VIDEO-YOU CAN SEE THE PATROL CAR SCOOT OFF FAST AND I MEAN FAST,  WHEN A POTENTIAL BUYER FOR THE PERCIVAL ESTATE PROPERTY WHO IS AN ACQUAINTANCE WENT DRIVING UP THE DRIVEWAY TO SEE THE PROPERTY WHICH IS  ON PRIVATE PROPERTY BUT IS BEING OFFERED FOR SALE. THE PERSON WAS TAKING A VIDEO OF THE PROPERTY TO SHOW ANOTHER POSSIBLE INVESTOR. 
YOU SEE-THE GPS CAN’T PINPOINT EXACT LOCATION TO THE DOT-JUST THE LOCATION-NICE.
THERE IS A FOR SALE SIGN-THE REAL ESTATE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED  IT WAS NOT TRESPASSING, AND THE POTENTIAL BUYER WENT TO SEE THE PROPERTY AND LO AND BEHOLD WHO THEY SAW-YEP YOU GUESSED IT.  I THINK SOMEONE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NEAR THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY ON JARVIS ST WHERE THEY CAN MONITOR THE “SPEEDERS”  BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE THEY SCOOTED OFF TO. BUT WE WILL LET IT GO–FOR NOW. NICE VIEW OF THE POND UP THERE-NICE PLACE TO JUST SIT AND CHILL OUT. WHO WOULD KNOW?
THIS IS WAR PAL-LET’S FIGHT AND LET’S GET REAL. I’M READY. AND I AIN’T BACKING DOWN. I DON’T CARE.
  WHAT IS THIS STORY ABOUT THE TOWN MANAGER OF CHESHIRE CT AND THE BUDGET PROCESS. ARE THEY FOR REAL? I FOUND ALL SORTS OF ISSUES THAT I REPORTED ON THE NIGHT I WENT TO THE POLICE BUDGET WORKSHOP THAT THE REPORTER FROM THE RECORD JOURNAL DID NOT ATTEND. BOY HAS THIS PAPER GONE DOWNHILL. WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO CHESHIRE, THEY WERE STRAIGHTFORWARD, HARD NEWS, WILLING TO INVESTIGATE, WAS NOT WORRIED ABOUT HURTING PEOPLES FEELINGS. NOW IT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE AS FAR AS CHESHIRE IS CONCERNED. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS WAS THE SAME NEWSPAPER THAT EXPOSED ASBESTOS DUMPING IN CHESHIRE, CT. D SAW A TRUCK COME DOWN OUR STREET IN THE MID-80′S AND WE FOUND OUT THEY HAD DUMPED REMNANTS OF AN OLD HOUSE THAT CONTAINED ASBESTOS. THE RECORD-JOURNAL DID A HARD-HITTING STORY ABOUT IT.

              GOD WHAT HAPPENED?

YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT IS ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL-DEBT SERVICE 8 MILLION DOLLARS- TAKING MONEY FROM RESERVES INSTEAD OF PAYING DOWN DEBT. ALSO, IF THE BUDGET WAS CUT-WHY DID TAXES GO UP FOR STARTERS. ANSWER-BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY SHOWING THE BUDGET “REQUESTS” THAT IS WHY.

AND THE CAPITAL BUDGET-IS FOR ITEMS THAT WILL LAST A YEAR OR LONGER-PAID FOR IN CASH. SO, HOW WOULD THE TOWN COUNCIL LIKE IT-IF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION PUT TEXTBOOK OR EQUIPMENT PURCHASES IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET TO MAKE IT SEEM AS IF THE BUDGET WAS LOWER THAN IN ACTUALLY WAS.

 

THE TOWN MANAGER BASICALLY CALLS HIS OWN SHOTS IN CHESHIRE, CT. DOESN’T TAKE INPUT FROM THE RESIDENTS-FORGET THAT-AND REALLY DOESN’T TAKE INPUT FROM THE TOWN COUNCIL-ALBEIT THERE WAS A TENSE MOMENT AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP WHEN A TOWN COUNCIL MEMBER ASKED THE TOWN MANAGER TO CUT $13,000 IN OVERTIME, WHICH IS NOTHING AND THE TM BLEW A GASKET. RIDICULOUS.

THIS IS WHY CHESHIRE, CT NEEDS TO HAVE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL RUNNING THIS TOWN. THINGS ARE WAY TOO COMFORTABLE AND COZY. NO GOOD.

I HAVE THE SOLUTION TO CHESHIRE’S PROBLEMS-SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES FOR THE POOL-THREE STATE TROOPERS FOR THE POLICE DEPT-AND ACCOUNTEMPS TO REPLACE THE TOWN MANAGER; ALL PART TIME EMPLOYEES; NO BENEFITS; NO OVERTIME; NO PENSIONS.

WELL BAD NEWS FROM THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON-TEAR IN ROTATOR CUFF-(RIGHT). FORTUNATELY IT IS A SMALL TEAR-SO I CAN GET IT REPAIRED WITH ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY NO SEDATION AND IN LESS THAN ONE HALF HOUR. THE BAD NEWS-SHOULDER OUT OF COMMISSION FOR THREE OR FOUR MONTHS.

NOW D WILL HAVE TO DO ALL OF THE YARD WORK. OH BROTHER. MORE NAGGING. BETWEEN SOME OF MY GUM HAVING TO BE SURGICALLY REMOVED AND THIS SHOULDER CRAP-DAMN-LOOKS LIKE I JUST WROTE OFF 2013. I KNOW I HAVE HAD THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND DID NOT REALIZE IT. MY RIGHT SHOULDER ALWAYS ACHED A BIT AND WEAK AND I REALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY RIGHT SIDE WHICH IS WEAK FROM A PINCHED NERVE IN MY LEG. JUST AS WELL I FOUND OUT WHAT IT WAS, BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IN CODDLING THE BODY. SO I WILL BE ACTIVE BUT JUST CUT BACK.

OK HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME (SEE BELOW)-BUT I REALLY BELIEVE I TORN THE CUFF A LONG TIME AGO AND NOW THAT I AM OLDER IT IS BOTHERING ME. I WENT RIGHT AWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE PAIN. NON-TREATMENT COULD RESULT IN ARTHRITIS WHICH COULD MAKE THE ARM IMMOBILE AND I DO KNOW SOMEONE WHO MADE THAT CHOICE AND THEIR ARM WAS USELESS. APPARENTLY 30 PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE UNDER 80 TEAR THEIR ROTATOR CUFF-(TENDON). IT IS QUITE COMMON TO TEAR TENDONS–70 PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE OVER 80 HAVE TORN ROTATOR CUFFS.

HEY WE’RE GETTING OLD AND WEARING OUT.

I DID RECEIVE A “MOTION TO DISMISS” FROM THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT’S ATTORNEY. I HOPE THE FOI DOES NOT THROW THIS OUT BECAUSE MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD BE MADE TO FILE TIMELY MINUTES AND AGENDAS FOR ALL TO SEE. NEVERMIND “OH IT IS PAST THE 30 DAY DEADLINE” SO IT IS OK.

NO IT ISN’T. WHO HAS TIME TO CONSTANTLY CHECK THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE TO SEE IF ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE FILING ON TIME. THAT IS THE TOWN CLERK’S JOB AND SHE INFORMED THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION WHEN THEY DID NOT FILE OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. THIS IS JUST NOT A FEW TIMES-THIS WAS 2009,2010 AND 2011 FOR GOD’S SAKE.

I WILL REBUT BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THIS-I WILL BE CHECKING EVERY DAMN MONTH AND IF THAT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION DOESN’T FILE ON TIME-YES I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FOI. STOP WATCHING ME CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT AND I WILL RETURN THE FAVOR. THEY WANT YOU TO OBEY THE RULES BUT THEIR SIDEARM COMMISSION BLATANTLY IGNORED THE RULES FOR YEARS NOT MONTHS, YEARS.

“OH EVERYTHING IS BEING FILED ON TIME NOW”

WELL, HOOP DE DOO. THAT IS LIKE SAYING WE CAUGHT YOUR CHILD’S MURDERER SO YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL BAD ANYMORE. I DON’T THINK SO. THEY TRY TO MAKE AN EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING.

AND WE STILL HAVE THE COMPLAINT ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE “TRAFFIC STOP PROCEDURES” WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON FILE AND AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION DURING BUSINESS HOURS AT THE POLICE DEPT. WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT? THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE DISMISSED.

MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A “MOTION TO DISBAND” THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT.

SOUNDS GOOD.

HERE IS THE MOTION TO DISMISS MOTION BY THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT ATTORNEY:

“RESPONDENTS PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION, TOWN OF CHESHIRE AND TOWN OF CHESHIRE (COLLECTIVELY “RESPONDENTS”) HEREBY SUBMIT THE ENCLOSED MOTION TO DISMISS RELATIVE TO THE ABOVE-CAPTIONED MATTER. FOR THE REASONS SET FORTH IN THE MOTION, THE COMPLAINT SHOULD BE DISMISSED BECAUSE IT FAILS TO MEET THE FILING REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN CONN GEN. STAT 1-206(b)(1).

NOTWITHSTANDING THE INVALIDITY OF THE COMPLAINT, RESPONDENTS ACKNOWLEDGE AND REGRET THAT SOME DOCUMENTS IDENTIFIED  IN THE COMPLAINT WERE NOT TIMELY FILED AND OTHERS WERE NOT CREATED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY. MORE IMPORTANTLY, RESPONDENTS HAVE TAKEN ACTION TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS GOING FORWARD.

GIVEN THE AVAILABILITY OF ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE, AND THE FAILURE OF THE COMPLAINT TO MEET STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS, THERE IS NO PRACTICAL REASON FOR THE HEARING TO GO FORWARD.

EDITORS NOTE: WHAT A BUNCH OF MALARKY. SO I DID NOT HAVE A DOCTORATE IN MEDICINE OR A MEDICAL LICENSE,  PERFORMED MEDICAL PROCEDURES, GOT CAUGHT, BUT NOW I HAVE ONE SO THE INITIAL VIOLATION DOESN’T MATTER. ARE THESE PEOPLE SERIOUS?

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN? DO THESE PEOPLE THINK THE AVERAGE PERSON CAN RUN DOWN TO THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE EVERY 10 MINUTES TO SEE IF AGENDAS AND MINUTES ARE BEING FILED? AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, THE TOWN CLERK NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION THAT THE MINUTES AND AGENDAS WERE NOT BEING FILED AND THEY DID NOT COMPLY RIGHT AWAY. SO THAT IS OK? GIVE ME A BREAK. THE PAPER I SUBMITTED FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE STATES  “REQUESTED ABOVE DOCUMENTS ON 11-3-2011- REC’D  -DEC 2010-ALL OF 2011–MEETING DATES FOR 2012 WAS NOT CHECK OFF AS RECEIVED.  SOME OF THESE MISSING DOCUMENTS GO BACK TO 2009 FOR GOD’S SAKE.

WHAT A JOKE.

OK I BELIEVE I HAVE A LINK TO WHAT THE CHESHIRE, CT POLICE CHIEF WAS TALKING ABOUT AT THE RECENT BUDGET WORKSHOP REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADING OF DASH CAM VIDEO FROM THE POLICE CRUISER TO THE SERVER. TOO BAD THEY CAN’T AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD THE AUDIO.  IT IS CALLED “PATROL WITNESS.”

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.

 

I AM WARNING EVERYONE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IF YOU GO TO BRASS MILL CENTER IN WATERBURY, CT.  A FRIENDS CAR WAS BROKEN INTO THE TRUNK WAS SEARCHED, A DUFFLE BAG WAS TAKEN AND THE CLOTHES INSIDE WERE STREWN ALL OVER THE PARKING GARAGE AND OUTSIDE AS WELL ON SATURDAY NIGHT. A GPS WAS TAKEN. ALSO OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THEIR CARS BEING “KEYED” AND VANDALIZED. BEST THING IF YOU WANT OR HAVE TO GO THERE-HAVE SOMEONE DROP YOU OFF AND PICK YOU UP.

IF YOU HAVE A GPS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DON’T PROGRAM “HOME” INTO IT OR ELSE THE THIEF CAN COME RIGHT TO YOUR HOUSE. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU PUT A PASSWORD ONTO THE GPS (IF IT IS A NEWER MODEL). THIS WAY HERE THE DOPEY THIEF AND MOST OF THEM ARE DOPES, WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BREAK THE PASS CODE. 

IF YOU WANT-DO WHAT I DID-PROGRAM “HOME” TO BE THE CHESHIRE CT CORRECTIONAL CENTER-THIS WAY HERE-THEY WILL GO RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG-IN JAIL.

THE REVIEWS ON YELP OF THE BRASS MILL CENTER ARE HORRID. VERY DANGEROUS. JUST STAY AWAY. THERE ARE OTHER CHOICES. ALL OF THESE MALLS ARE REALLY BECOMING DANGEROUS HANG OUTS FOR PEOPLE UP TO NO GOOD.

CLICK HERE FOR YELP REVIEWS ON BRASS MILL CENTER, WATERBURY CT.

THERE IS NO WAY GARMIN OR TOM TOM CAN TRACK THE STOLEN GPS SO DON’T BOTHER CALLING. THIS DEVICE RECEIVES A SATELLITE SIGNAL IT DOES NOT TRANSMIT AS A CELL PHONE DOES. JUST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THAT MALL IT IS DANGEROUS.

I HAVE TO GIVE PROPS TO UNIV OF BRIDGEPORT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE TIME A FAMILY MEMBER WAS DOWN THERE, NO ONE BOTHERED HER BELONGINGS OR HER CAR. THERE IS SO MUCH SECURITY THEY DON’T BOTHER. AND THIS IS COMING FROM A SCHOOL THAT 20 YEARS AGO, YOU COULD NOT WALK FROM YOUR CAR 15 FEET TO A BUILDING WITHOUT BEING MUGGED OR WORSE. NOW ONE IF NOT THE SAFEST CAMPUS IN THE UNITED STATES.

BESIDES EVERY ONE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT UNIVERSITY CARRIES A “PAL” WHICH IS  A PERSONAL SECURITY DEVICE AND IT WORKS WELL. SECURITY IS ALWAYS IN VIEW WHEN YOU GO THERE.  YOU NEVER FEEL THREATENED OR AFRAID. ALL SCHOOLS SHOULD INVEST IN THIS SECURITY THEY HAVE AT UNIV OF BPT BECAUSE IT TURNED THAT SCHOOL AROUND.

IT MAKES YOU WONDER WHY THEY HAVE SECURITY AT THESE MALLS IF THEY DON’T BOTHER PATROLLING.

THIS IS WHY I LEAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN MY CAR-NOTHING. DON’T BOTHER-YOU GET A ZERO AND I MEAN IT. I HAVE ONSTAR AND IF THE CAR IS TAKEN, THE THIEF WILL BE FOUND. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN AT THE ACQUAINTANCES CAR FOR QUITE SOME TIME RIFLING THROUGH EVERYTHING. SO MUCH FOR SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS.

 

I AM RUNNING A COMPARISON BELOW THIS PARAGRAPH COMPARING CHESHIRE, CT – POPULATION APPROXIMATELY 29,100 TO GILFORD NEW HAMPSHIRE, POPULATION 7,600. YOU TELL ME WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH?

OK I AM GOING TO RUN THE TEXT OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY BUDGET HEARING WHERE I ASK THE TOWN MANAGER ABOUT THE POLICE BUDGET. NOW I DID TRY TO DOWNLOAD AUDACITY TO DO A PODCAST BUT I HAD DIFFICULTY. WE WILL HAVE TO DO MORE WORK ON THIS. IN THE MEANTIME: HERE IS THE TEXT BELOW.

ME:  I HAVE A QUESTION: I DID COMPARISONS OF OTHER TOWNS THAT ARE NEAR US (SIMILAR), THERE IS $105,000 FOR “EQUIPMENT PURCHASES” AND THAT WAS CARS I THINK, WHY WOULDN’T THAT BE OVER HERE-(BUDGET SUMMARY)-BECAUSE IF I TOOK THE $105,000 WITH THE $4.8 MILLION (POLICE BUDGET ) AND ADDED (THAT FIGURE TO THE $4.8 MILLION) AND ADDED THE $150,000 FROM ELIM PARK, I CAME UP WITH A TOTAL OF $5.1 MILLION ACTUAL BUDGET. AND WITH $165,000 WITH ELIM PARK, IT SHOULD BE $5.3 MILLION. WINDSOR, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY ADD IN ALL THE GRANTS, EQUIPMENT PURCHASES–WHY DON’T WE PUT INTO THE TOTAL THE EQUIPMENT PURCHASES AS PART OF THAT?

D.S.- YOU MEAN CARS?

ME – YES.

D.S. THAT IS PART OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET.

ME: BUT WHY IS THAT PART OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET? NO WAIT A MINUTE-LIKE WINDSOR-THEY HAVE “CAPITAL OUTLAY”-”GRANTS”-ETCT-WHY ISN’T THIS PART OF THE MAIN TOTAL? BECAUSE NOW THE BUDGET IS HIGHER.

TOWN MANAGER- FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS THE OPERATING BUDGET AND IT IS TO DISPLAY ALL OF THE RE-OCCURRING EXPENSES THAT ARE SUPPORTED FROM THE MUNICIPAL GRANTS AND UNINTELLIBLE-THAT SUPPORT THIS BUDGET. DAVID IS RIGHT-CARS ARE IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET BECAUSE THE DECISION WAS MADE ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO-ACTUALLY I REQUESTED THIS, THAT THEY PUT IT INTO THE CAPITAL NON-RECURRING FUND- SO THAT WE BUY THE CARS WITH CASH, AND IT TOOK PRESSURE OFF OF THE OPERATING BUDGET-BUT, TO TRY TO SHOW A GROSS BUDGET SO THAT YOU SEE NOT ONLY THE OPERATING EXPENSES BUT EVERYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES UP THE COST OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, CINDY, WE CREATED THIS OTHER LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF PAGE 72 (OF THE LINE-ITEM BUDGET) THAT SAYS “OTHER FUNDS MANAGED” OK? APPROPRIATE GENERAL FUNDS REVENUE, SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH REVENUE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR –”GRANTS, GIFTS, AND OTHER FUNDING SOURCES-$186,589—CAPITAL FUNDING-$83,714.

 

T.M.–SO IF YOU WERE TO ADD THOSE AMOUNTS IN WITH THE OPERATING BUDGET, YOU GET THE FULL COST OF WHAT THE COST  OF OPERATING THE DEPARTMENT IS FOR THIS YEAR.

ME-OK, SO THAT’S NOT ADDED IN HERE RIGHT?

T.M. – NO THEY ARE NOT.  YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THOSE ARE SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDS THAT WE WANTED TO REFLECT SO YOU GET THE GROSS COST BUT THEY ARE NOT ADDED IN- SO THE FOUR MILLION-NINE NINETY IS SUPPLEMENTED BY THE $186,589 AND THE $83,714 IN THE CAPITAL BUDGET.

OK DO YOU GET IT NOW? THESE FIGURES-WHEREVER THEY ARE LOCATED-ARE PART OF THE OVERALL BUDGET FIGURE. IF I PAY YOUR ELECTRIC BILL AND HOME HEATING BILL-EVEN THOUGH I PAID IT AND IT MAY BE ENTERED INTO MY LEDGER-IT IS STILL PART OF YOUR EXPENSES! STOP SHIFTING THINGS AROUND TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT.

THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT AND THEIR POLICE DEPT BETTER BE READY TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCE – FAST. PLEASE DON’T INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE AND OTHERS WHO RESIDE IN THIS TOWN THAT THERE IS VERY LITTLE OR NO CRIME. NOW I AM TALKING ABOUT-BURGLARIES, ROBBERIES, DRUGS, NOT MURDERS ASSAULTS AND RAPES. I DON’T EXPECT TO SEE HARDLY ANY OF THAT. BUT DON’T TELL ME “WE HARDLY HAVE ANY BREAK-INS” YOU ARE FULL OF SHIT. THERE IS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC EMPHASIS IN THIS TOWN AND THAT IS WHY BUSINESSES ARE CLOSING AND YOU KNOW IT. WHY GO HERE WHEN YOU CAN GO TO SOUTHINGTON OR WALLINGFORD AND NOT GET HASSLED BY CRAP. IF THE COPS FEEL PRESSURED TO GIVE OUT THE TICKETS THEN I WILL QUESTION IT. BUT I HAVE TO KNOW.

MANY OF YOU ARE TELLING ME YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF THE STATE TROOPERS-SO DO I. NOW I NOTICE THERE WAS ARTICLE IN THE LOCAL MEDIA ABOUT A MERIDEN MAN ARRESTED FOR BURGLARIES UP AND DOWN HIGHLAND AVENUE. GOOD. THAT IS WHAT THE POLICE SHOULD BE DOING-AND THE DECTECTIVE BUREAU SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING.

AND I HOPE WE ARE NOT GRANDSTANDING TO MAKE THE REPUBLICANS PASS THE POLICE CONTRACT WHICH IS UP ON JUNE 30 BECAUSE NO ONE IS GOING TO APPRECIATE THAT. THE POLICE UNION SHOULD NOT BE IN THAT PREDICAMENT-THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD HAVE WORKED OUT THE DIFFERENCES REGARDING THE BENEFITS AND NOT WORRIED ABOUT GETTING HOME IN TIME TO WATCH DWTS – DANCING WITH THE STARS. TAKE THE TIME AND WORK THINGS OUT.

I AM READY TO CONSULT THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION TO SEE IF I CAN HEAR THE POLICE RADIO TRANSMISSIONS-I DON’T CARE IF I HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE- I WANT TO SEE WHAT IS COSTING OVER SIX MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR THIS POLICE DEPT-SURELY NOT TO HAND OUT CAR SEATS, AND TRAFFIC TICKETS. BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE ARE BEING “LED” TO BELIEVE.

NOW GILFORD NEW HAMPSHIRE POLICE OVERTIME BUDGET IS GOING UP FOR FY 13/14 SOMETHING LIKE 112 PERCENT. WELL MAYBE IT IS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS IF GILFORD RELEASES ALL THEIR CRIME STATISTICS AND I DON’T SEE PEOPLE FLEEING ON MASSE  FROM THAT TOWN. I ALWAYS FEEL SAFE THERE ALWAYS.  BUT WHEN YOU HAVE CRIME AND ARE INVESTIGATING IT-I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH MORE COPS AND MORE DETECTIVES. BUT DON’T TRY TO SAY NO CRIME-BUT WE WANT A BIGGER PENSION, MORE OVERTIME, ETC. NO, IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY.

GILFORD NEW HAMPSHIRE’S PROPERTY CRIME AND BURGLARY RATE: TAKE NOTE OF THE FIRST TWO. WOW. NICE TO READ THE TRUTH ISN’T IT. LOOK AT THE INCREASE-PROBABLY THE ECONOMY AND THE FACT THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT THERE ALL YEAR. IN 2011 THE PROPERTY CRIME WAS ALMOST OVER THE US AVERAGE. BUT I DON’T FEAR GOING TO GILFORD-EVER. IT IS A NICE CUTE TOWN. THE POPULATION: 7,600. IN 2010 IT WAS A LITTLE OVER 5,000.

I AM LINKING YOU AGAIN TO THE TOWN OF WINDSOR, CT’S PROPOSED 2014 FY OPERATING BUDGET. THEIR BUDGET IS VOTED ON BY THE TOWN RESIDENTS. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE MAY 14.  THIS IS WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IN CHESHIRE, CT. CHESHIRE AND WINDSOR BASICALLY HAVE THE SAME POPULATION AND HAVE A TOWN MANAGER COUNCIL FORM OF GOVERNMENT. THE DIFFERENCE? WINDSOR ACTUALLY CARES WHAT THEIR RESIDENTS THINK AND ARE NOT AFRAID TO PUT THINGS OUT THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY DON’T CATER TO ELIM PARK AND MAJOR BUSINESSMAN. EIGHT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE DECIDING WHAT IS GOOD FOR THIS TOWN-YOU SHOULD BE. BUT YOU SIT ON YOUR ASS AND DON’T CARE-SO THAT IS MESSAGE THEY GET-NO THEY WANT.

NOTICE WHAT THE TOWN MANAGER OF WINDSOR SAYS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE (ON THE RIGHT). YOU WOULD NEVER SEE THAT HERE IN CHESHIRE, CT BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. AND FOR ONCE I AGREE WITH THE EDITORIAL IN THE CHESHIRE HERALD. YES, THEY ARE MOVING FIGURES AROUND TO MAKE IT “APPEAR” THINGS ARE BETTER THAN THEY ARE. I WOULD RATHER HAVE EVERYTHING LAID OUT ON THE TABLE AND JUSTIFY IT THEN TRYING TO PULL THIS HOUDINI ALL THE TIME. AT LEAST MR. TALBOT GETS IT-THANK YOU.

THE WINDSOR CT TOWN MANAGER EXPLAINS EVERYTHING TO THE LEVEL OF THE AVERAGE PERSON SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. HE LAYS EVERYTHING OUT ON THE TABLE.  WHY CAN’T THIS TOWN. WHY? BECAUSE THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE-YOU DON’T CARE AND THEY DON’T ENCOURAGE YOU TO CARE. THEY WANT THEIR OWN LITTLE PARTY BUT THAT IS COMING TO AN END.

WINDSOR OPENLY TOUTS THEIR COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE “INVESTED” IN THE TOWN TO HELP OFFSET THE REDUCTION IN FUNDING FROM THE STATE. IT IS A NICE OVERVIEW, VERY PROFESSIONAL. THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT BETTER GET WITH IT NOW. START ENCOURAGING COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND FOR YOUR BITCH (THE STATE OF CT) TO GIVE YOU HANDOUTS.

CLICK HERE FOR OVERVIEW OF WINDSOR CT BUDGET.

 

 

HERE IS SOME INFORMATION ON THE “RESIDENT” STATE TROOPERS IN CT. READ IT-DOES THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION SOUND FAMILIAR? WELL WHY THEN DO WE NEED TO SPEND SIX MILLION DOLLARS-BECAUSE THAT IS THE REAL FIGURE WITH EVERYTHING ADDED IN-FOR 49 COPS TO DO THE SAME THING?

The Resident State Troopers have the responsibility of handling every police related function in the Town of Haddam which include investigating crimes, investigating car collisions, teaching D.A.R.E., participating in community policing activities, applying for federal grants, patrolling the town, enforcing motor vehicle laws, making arrests and giving public presentations on a wide array of public safety issues, just to name a few.

EDITOR’S NOTE: HELLO? READ THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH AGAIN.

The Connecticut State Police, Resident State Trooper program began in 1947 and has become one of the most effective programs in law enforcement for smaller, community policing. Several other State Police departments around the country have used the Connecticut State Police, Resident State Trooper program as a model for designing their own programs.

The program is cost effective for towns in which the individual town has highly trained, professional State Troopers assigned strictly to the town. The Resident State Troopers are employed by the State Police and the town enters into a contract with the State Police Department for the services of the State Troopers.

 

THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPARTMENT IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. SOMEDAY SOME OF YOU WILL COME TO YOUR SENSES. ONE PERSON ON THE TOWN COUNCIL ALREADY HAS. MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR OVERTIME, PENSIONS OUTRAGEOUS STARTING SALARIES, FULL PENSION AFTER 20 YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT-FOR WHAT? HONESTLY ANSWER-FOR WHAT? TO DO WHAT A FEW STATE TROOPERS ARE DOING FOR HALF THE COST, NOT EVEN, FOR $38,000 A YEAR? NO BUILDING, NO EQUIPMENT, NO OVERTIME, NO PENSIONS, NO UNION NEGOTIATIONS, NO HASSLES. THE STATE OF CT TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING.

IF THEY WANT TO “JUSTIFY” THEIR EXISTENCE, THEN THEY HAD BETTER “COME CLEAN” WITH THE REAL CRIME FIGURES IN THIS TOWN BECAUSE IT IS NOT THAT LOW-THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

THE “RAINY DAY” HAS JUST STARTED FOR THE SUBURBS MISS FLOWER CHILD. WAIT ANOTHER FIVE TO 1O YEARS. ALL OF MY CHILDREN OUTSIDE OF ONE-LIVE IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. THEY DON’T WANT TO OWN HOMES-THEY WANT APARTMENTS OR CONDO’S AND THEY WANT TO LIVE IN AREAS CLOSE TO WORK, NOT HAVING TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE EXPENSE AND LIVE IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE THINGS TO DO.

DON’T BELIEVE IT?

I AM GOING TO SMASH THIS PHONY TOWN AND SMASH ANYONE THAT TRIES TO GET IN MY WAY. IN FACT, LOOK AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT CHESHIRE IN THAT PHONY RANKING STORY THAT WAS RECENTLY POSTED.

HEY LET’S GET “REAL” WITH THE REAL COMMENTS.

CLICK HERE.

THIS IS A TOWN RUN BY A FEW PEOPLE, WHO WANT ANY DISSENTING OPINIONS QUIETED SO YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT I HAVE GONE THROUGH HERE. THEY HATE AND RESENT THE PEOPLE WHO RUN EDUCATION IN THIS TOWN. THEY SAY IT ISN’T WORTH IT TO BUILD A NEW FIELDHOUSE OR BUILD NEW LOCKER ROOMS FOR CHILDREN WHO ARE TRYING TO ENGAGE IN POSITIVE ACTIVITIES. OF COURSE THEY WANT YOUR KID DRINKING UNDERAGE, THIS WAY HERE THEY LINE THEIR POCKETS WITH GRANT MONIES. THERE IS NOTHING IN IT FOR THEM FINANCIALLY, TO HAVE THE FIELDHOUSE AND LOCKER ROOMS. AND IF THEY DON’T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY FOR NEW LOCKER ROOMS, FIX UP THE OLD-THEN WHY DON’T THEY “FIX UP” THE THREE YEAR OLD-YES, THEY GET RID OF THEM AFTER THREE YEARS-THREE YEAR OLD POLICE CARS. WHY DON’T THEY REPAIR THEM, INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM AWAY FOR PRACTICALLY NOTHING TO THE PUBLIC. WELL, IF THEY ARE ABLE TO LET THE PUBLIC DRIVE THESE CARS-THEY MUST BE SAFE. IF THEY ARE SAFE FOR THE AVERAGE JOE AND JANE PUBLIC TO DRIVE ON THE ROADS, WHY CAN’T THE DIME DIVAS DRIVE THEM?

DUDE- YOU DON’T  GET A GOOD RATE ON A LOAN WITH NO MONEY IN THE BANK. BANKS DON’T LEND TO POOR PEOPLE-THEY GET A CREDIT CARD. TRY IT. SEE HOW FAR YOU GET. BANKS LEND MONEY TO PEOPLE WITH MONEY. THE MORE YOU HAVE IN THE BANK THE BETTER THE RATE. THAT IS WHAT CHESHIRE CT IS DOING.

I AM ASKING FOR THE 2012 FISCAL YEAR CHESHIRE CT POLICE OVERTIME. I AM NOT ASKING FOR ALL OF THE OTHER MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES BECAUSE FRANKLY I DON’T CARE. I ONLY CARE ABOUT ONE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE MADE IT THEIR BUSINESS TO NOSE INTO MY BUSINESS.

THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS GOING TO THE TOWN COUNCIL MEETING IN CHESHIRE, CT A PERSON RIDING A MOPED WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME ON RT IN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. GUESS WHAT HAWAII-5-0? THAT IS WHERE I AM GOING TO BE RIDING. YOU DAMN WELL BELIEVE IT. I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE PERSON RIDING THE MOPED RIGHT BEHIND ME SO UNLESS THEY WANT A CIVIL RIGHTS LAWSUIT WHICH I NOW HAVE THE MONEY TO FILE- I SUGGEST THEY START BUSYING THEMSELVES WITH REAL CRIME ISSUES IN THIS TOWN OR THE STATE TROOPERS MAY BECOME A REALITY.

I DID GO TO THE CHESHIRE, CT TOWN HALL WHERE THE TOWN COUNCIL DID PASS, BY AN 6-2 VOTE (ONE COUNCIL MEMBER-PATTI-FLYNN HARRIS) WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE. I DID SPEAK- I WILL GET TO IT ON WEDNESDAY-

REMEMBER, THE DEBT SERVICE IN CHESHIRE CT IS HIGH-OVER $8 MILLION. WINDSOR’S DEBT SERVICE IS APPROXIMATELY$5 MILLION, I BELIEVE BRANFORD’S WAS APPROX. $6 MILLION AND NEW MILFORD’S WAS $1.8 MILLION. USE THIS “BIG SURPLUS, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, TO PAY DOWN THE DEBT NOT BORROW TO PURCHASE THINGS-IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. IF YOU WON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE LOTTO-THE FIRST THING YOU WOULD DO WOULD BE TO—–YES, PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS, NOT BORROW MONEY SO IT LOOKS AS IF YOU HAVE A TON OF MONEY IN THE BANK TO GET A BETTER RATE-DAMN-PAY OFF THIS DEBT SERVICE-DON’T RELY ON THE STATE OF CT THEY MAY NOT COME THROUGH.

I WOULD LIMIT TAPPING INTO RESERVE FUNDS TO BALANCE THE BUDGET-BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS UP IN THE AIR WITH THIS ECONOMY AND THE STATE OF CT IS NOT DOING WELL. CUT BACK ON EXPENSES-OVERTIME TO START. LOOK, AS I KEEP SAYING, THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE OUT OF WORK-SOME FOR YEARS-WHO WOULD GLADLY WORK A MUNICIPAL JOB FOR NO OVERTIME, NO PENSIONS, NO SICK PAY-NOTHING-JUST TO HAVE A STEADY JOB. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE APPLYING FOR TEMP JOBS AND JOBS THAT LAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS-JUST TO WORK-TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS WHEN YOU BARGAIN WITH THESE UNIONS.

THE JOB MARKET IS FLOODED WITH PEOPLE LOOKING FOR STEADY EMPLOYMENT-YOU DON’T NEED PERKS ANYMORE TO LURE PEOPLE IN.

ALSO, THE TOWN MANAGER SETS THE BUDGET “REQUEST” BASED ON A 99 PERCENT TAX COLLECTION RATE. CHESHIRE,CT COLLECTS 100 PERCENT OF ITS TAXES, EVEN THE DELINQUENT-THEY GET EVEN MORE MONEY THAT WAY-THEY USUALLY GET OVER WHAT THE DELINQUENCY WAS.

THE TOWN MANAGER DID CUT THE $13,000 IN OVERTIME  “RECOMMENDATION” THAT WAS THE BIG ARGUMENT THE NIGHT I WENT TO ONE OF THE BUDGET WORKSHOPS.

HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN:

Town Manager – Personnel Services – Overtime – Manager Recommended- $12,500; Council Proposed Adjustment – $12,000-Budget Adjustment – $500.

Town Clerk- Personnel Services – Overtime – Manager Recommended – $5,000; Council Proposed Adjustment – $4,500; Budget Adjustment  – $500.

Public Works – Snow and Ice Control – Personnel Services – Overtime – Manager Recommended – $100,000; Council Proposed Adjustment – $95,000; Budget Adjustment – $5,000.

Subtotal – $13,000.

WHEN I WAS IN ROME NOT THAT LONG AGO, I WENT FOR A SCOOTER RIDE. I DID NOT DRIVE, BUT I PAID TO HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE ME AROUND ROME FOR A WHILE. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. THERE ARE LITERALLY NO RULES ON THE ROADS THERE-STOPS SIGNS MEAN NOTHING-ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN FACT YOU SEE THE DRIVER BLOW THE STOP SIGN A FEW MINUTES INTO THE VIDEO.

-EVERYONE JOCKEYS FOR POSITION-THEY WOULD CALL THIS CUTTING SOMEONE OFF HERE-BUT NOT THERE-PEOPLE EVEN CUT IN FRONT OF THE POLICE CARS FOR GOD’S SAKE. A FRIEND SENT ME THIS VIDEO-SHE WENT TO ROME NOT THAT LONG AGO AND PASSED ALONG THIS VIDEO WHICH IS ON YOUTUBE. SHE GETS A NICE SHOT OF THE ITALIAN WAR MEMORIAL-WHICH WILL BE THAT LARGE WHITE MONUMENT ON THE LEFT WITH THE FLAGS IN FRONT. THIS IS DOWN FROM THE COLISEUM. YOU HEAR A SIREN-IT IS A FIRETRUCK AND NO-ONE PULLS TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! THEY DON’T DO IT IN FLORIDA EITHER-I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS THERE, THE FIRE TRUCK HAD TO DRIVE ON THE ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO GET BY. THEY NEED TO CUT THE SHIT IN THIS COUNTRY AND DO REAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

BELIEVE ME-IF YOU DROVE LIKE THIS IN THE UNITED STATES-YOU WOULD EITHER BE KILLED FROM ROAD RAGE OR YOUR LICENSE WOULD BE REVOKED. THE ITALIAN PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY WANT- I LOVE THEM SO. AND AS FAR AS MY SCOOTER GOES, YES BASTARD-I AM RIDING IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE I FEEL I WILL NOT BE HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. THE LAW SAYS “OR” THE RIGHT HAND LANE AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL-OR-A USABLE SHOULDER. YOU GO SHOVE IT.

SCOOTER RIDING IN ROME

 

OH UM STARTING A NEW BUSINESS-SOMEONE?-BETTER BE REGISTERED WITH THE CT DEPT OF LABOR-OR ELSE YOU KNOW WHO WILL GET YOU. WE ARE WATCHING YOU-JUST LIKE YOU WATCHED ME. I CAN POSSIBLY SEE A FEW AUDITS COMING DOWN THAT ROAD.

April 8, 2013-THERE WAS NO MEETING FOR THE BUDGET. THE TOWN COUNCIL IS SCHEDULED TO ADOPT THE 13/14 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET FOR CHESHIRE CT ON TUESDAY, APRIL 9. I MAY GO BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE TO TEACH CLASS TUESDAY NIGHT. I WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. YOU SHOULD GO-YOU DON’T GO TO ANYTHING. PLEASE TRY AND DO YOUR SHARE.

ALSO: HOME DEPOT-IS SELLING THE BAGGED MULCH-FIVE BAGS FOR $10 ONLY THROUGH THIS WEDNESDAY. THIS IS CHEAPER THAN HAVING MULCH DELIVERED IN BULK TO YOUR HOME. SO TAKE ADVANTAGE IF YOU CAN.

USUALLY IT IS 3 BAGS FOR $10-SO THIS IS A DEAL.

Look, even if the proposed 13/14 operating budget WAS NOT CUT-and the mill rate went up approximately 4 percent-it would have amounted to approximately $250 more in taxes. THE PRICE OF GASOLINE HAS GONE UP MORE THAN THAT OVER THE PAST YEAR SO WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL.

Remember, it is an election year for local officials-TOWN COUNCIL, ETC. The Town is literally using what we would call a “rainy day fund” and taking from it which is fine but no one knows what Cheshire, CT will be receiving in State funding this year.

ALSO: LET ME TELL YOU-CHESHIRE CT’S MILL RATE IS NOT HIGH-GILFORD NEW HAMPSHIRE’S IS. REMEMBER-GILFORD HAS 7.260 PEOPLE-CHESHIRE CT HAS 29,000. THE MILL RATE-IS THE SAME-27. AND I DID VERIFY THE BREAK-INS IN GILFORD NEW HAMPSHIRE IS ASTRONOMICAL-IN 2001 THE FIGURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 260 PER 1000 PEOPLE. IN 2012 IT WAS OVER 650 PER THOUSAND PEOPLE. THAT MEANS 3/4 OF THE HOUSES IN GILFORD HAVE BEEN BROKEN INTO. UNBELIEVABLE. WHY? BECAUSE MOST ARE SECOND HOMES AND ARE VACANT FOR A GOOD PART OF THE YEAR.

I HATE TO SAY IT-BUT I REALLY THINK MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH NEW HAMPSHIRE IS ON THE WANE. IT IS AKIN TO THAT OLD SONG-”WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER TOO LONG-LIKE A WORN OUT RECORDING OF A FAVORITE SONG.” I THINK I NEED A SCENERY CHANGE-FLORIDA. PROBABLY GET TIRED OF THAT TOO.

BESIDES, GILFORD’S OVERTIME FOR THE POLICE IS GOING UP SOMETHING LIKE 112 PERCENT OVER LAST FISCAL YEAR. YES, I THINK THEY DO NEED TO HIRE MORE POLICE. THIS IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES UP THERE-THE ECONOMY IS BAD-SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME THEY APPLIED FOR AN ACCOUNTING POSITION AND THERE WERE 600 OTHER APPLICANTS BESIDES THIS PERSON. THIS IS WHY ALL THE CITIES AND TOWNS ARE IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT. YOU DON’T NEED TO BE OFFERING BENEFITS, OVERTIME, SICK PAY, HOLIDAY PAY, PENSIONS-NOTHING. ALL MOST PEOPLE WANT THESE DAYS IS STEADY EMPLOYMENT.

More later.

Popped in for a few minutes to the Budget Workshop discussion on Thursday. Things were getting a little heated between the Town Manager of Cheshire CT and the Budget Chairman over -overtime of all things. THE COUNCIL TALKED ABOUT AUTOMATING THE TOWN CLERKS OFFICE AND SPOKE ABOUT CUTTING OVERTIME IN THE TOWN CLERK AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT-WHAT OVERTIME? EVERYONE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OUTSIDE OF A FEW PEOPLE ARE VOLUNTEERS.

I DID NOTICE THEY HAD A CHART ON THE OVERHEAD SCREEN AND IT SAID OVERTIME WOULD BE CUT AT THE POLICE DEPT-GOOD.

TOWN MANAGER AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP:

“I WORK 12 HOURS A DAY -I WORK ON SATURDAYS-NOBODY CARES MORE ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THIS TOWN THAN I DO” (FIST BANGING).

STOP PATRONIZING CERTAIN PEOPLE-STOP FEELING THAT YOU HAVE TO-BECAUSE YOU DON’T-GET IT?

AND THEN A TOWN COUNCILOR SORT OF INDICATED THAT THE BUDGET COMMITTTEE SHOULD NOT BE “DISCUSSING THIS OVERTIME IN PUBLIC” THEY GOT NERVOUS BECAUSE I WENT TO THE MEETING-THAT IS WHY I WENT. I WISHED THEY WOULD HAVE GONE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION ILLEGALLY-NOT ON THE AGENDA-WE WOULD HAVE GONE TO YET ANOTHER FOI HEARING.

The Town Manager was getting a little defensive because the Councilors were discussing how to cut $13,000 in overtime. You can see how this issue has affected the Town and YOU KNOW HOW THAT ALL STARTED. And I guess there may be some accounting of the overtime spent-like what the employee did to justify the overtime, not just ask for it point blank.

Look, towns like Cheshire, CT will be a dinosaur in 25 to 30 years. Why? Because my kids and probably theirs, are moving back to the cities that my parents WW2 generation abandoned. It is just too expensive to live in the suburbs, with the gas for commuting, nothing really to do. The benefits and convenience of city living are more attractive to the new generation.

 

ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, I WENT TO THE CHESHIRE, CT PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING TO HEAR THEM SPEAK ABOUT THE POOL. THE CHAIRMAN JIM NANKIN SAID THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS COMING OUT TO LOOK AT THE DAMAGE. PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR BOB CECCOLINI SAID THE PAYMENT WOULD NOT BE AS MUCH AS LAST TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT AS MUCH DAMAGE. THE LIGHTS WERE DESTROYED AND A FEW OTHER ITEMS, BUT THE DIVING BOARDS WERE INTACT.

I TOLD THEM ABOUT SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES. I AM GOING TO LINK YOU AGAIN TO SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES AND THEIR VIDEO OF THE STRUCTURE THEY PUT UP OVER A COMMUNITY POOL. NOTICE HOW THE STRUCTURE OPENS ON THE SIDES. THIS STRUCTURE WILL NEVER FAIL BUT THE PUBLIC HAS TO GO FOR IT. THIS STRUCTURE EVEN SURVIVED THE WINDS OF HURRICANE KATRINA FOR GOD’S SAKE.  THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED INTO BEFORE THE POOL WAS EVEN CONSTRUCTED BUT THE TOWN WAS TRYING TO PUT UP A CHEAP STRUCTURE AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.

CLICK ON THE VIDEO TO THE RIGHT: “PERFORMANCE STRUCTURES-COMMUNITY POOL.”

SPRUNG INSTANT STRUCTURES

 

 

I JUST RECEIVED BY CERTIFIED MAIL ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2013, THE NOTICE FOR THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION HEARING AGAINST THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT AND THE CHESHIRE, CT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION FOR NOT FILING TIMELY  OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD-MINUTES AND AGENDAS-OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD OK?

THE HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY, APRIL 22 AT 2 P.M AT THE FOI COMMISSION IN HARTFORD.

IT IS WEIRD BECAUSE THIS ORIGINALLY WAS DISMISSED. I WONDER IF SOMEONE CAME TO THEIR SENSES UP THERE IN HARTFORD. I MEAN IT STILL CAN BE DISMISSED BUT I DON’T SEE HOW AND I WILL FIGHT ALL THE WAY ON IT. I HAVE THE MONEY NOW AND I WILL FIGHT. THEY ARE GOING TO GET WHAT THEY HAVE COMING TO THEM.

ARE PEOPLE FINALLY GETTING WISE TO THIS TOWN? CATER TO A FEW PEOPLE’S WISHES AND THE HELL WITH EVERYONE ELSE-OH YOU JUST PAY FOR IT. WAKE THE FUCK UP. THIS IS YOUR TOWN TOO. I AM GOING NOW TO TRY TO MAKE A PUSH FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL AS AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE AND IF I GET ON-YOU HAD BETTER PRAY TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT THE GODDAMN WORLD ENDS THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE EVERY DAY I AM ON THAT TOWN COUNCIL WILL BE LIKE ARMAGEDDON.

THEY WANT YOU AND I (THE POLICE DEPT) TO HAVE EVERYTHING IN ORDER-WELL, GUESS WHAT? THE LAW APPLIES TO YOU TOO. IT IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE IF THEY LOSE-AND I HAVE ALL OF THE VIOLATIONS IN WRITING, IT WILL COST THE TAXPAYERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN ATTORNEY FEES AND FINES. THEIR ARROGANCE IN THIS TOWN IS NOW GOING TO COST THEM HOPEFULLY.  D SAID HE NOTICED THERE WAS AN ITEM IN THE POLICE BUDGET-PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION THAT WENT FROM “$O TO $2,500-PROBABLY TO HAVE A RECORDING SECRETARY TAKE NOTES AND FILE THEM ON TIME AS I HAVE TO DO WITH WINDSOR AND WALLINGFORD AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO PERFORMS THIS JOB FUNCTION. THE LAW MEANS NOTHING TO THESE PEOPLE-MAYBE NOW THEY WILL LEARN THAT IT APPLIES TO THEM.

 

I DID HEAR FROM MANY OF YOU THAT THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO REPLACE THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT WITH STATE TROOPERS. YOU KNOW IT WILL BE CHEAPER-NO EQUIPMENT-NO EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE-NO UNION NEGOTIATION HASSLES, NO OVERTIME, NO EXTRA DUTY COSTS, NO PENSION TO PAY FOR-THEY EVEN HAVE A SWAT TEAM AND ALL THE POLICE RESOURCES ONE COULD EVER WANT.

IT HAS GOT TO BE CHEAPER-I AND YOU KNOW IT IS.

BESIDES, THE COPS ALWAYS SHOW UP 99 PERCENT OF THE TIME AFTER THE CRIME HAS OCCURRED. SO WHY PAY MILLIONS FOR SOMEONE TO WRITE A REPORT OR GIVE OUT A MOTOR VEHICLE VIOLATION TICKET OR A DRUG ARREST? DOESN’T MAKE SENSE WHEN ALL OF THIS CAN BE DONE FOR HALF THE COST. THE POLICE ARE UNDER NO LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROTECT YOU SO WHAT ARE THEY DOING? MOTOR VEHICLE AND A FEW DICK DO ARRESTS.

EVEN BRIDGEPORT DID IT A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE DOWN 50 OFFICERS. THEY USUALLY HAVE 450 AND HAD 400, USED STATE POLICE AND THE MURDER RATE WAS SOMETHING LIKE 10 OR 11 THOSE YEARS.  I REMEMBER YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS WORKING IN BPT THE MURDER RATE USED TO BE 110 WITH A FULL STAFF OF POLICE. THEY LEARNED TO CONCENTRATE THEIR EFFORTS ON WHERE THE CRIMINALS WERE AND CRIME WENT DOWN. IT ISN’T QUANTITY IT IS  QUALITY. AND IF THEY THINK TWO CRIMINAL ARRESTS (ONE WAS SHOPLIFTING AND ANOTHER SELLING DRUGS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL) JUSTIFIES A “BUSY SCHEDULE” AND IS WORTH NEARLY A SIX MILLION BUDGET THEY BOY ARE WE BEING TAKEN FOR A RIDE.  I HAVE SOME LAND IN THE EVERGLADES FOR SALE-GOD ALMIGHTY ARE THEY SERIOUS?

I MAY HAVE TO TRY AGAIN FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL BECAUSE THIS CRAP IN THIS TOWN HAS GOT TO STOP-CATERING TO A FEW PEOPLE AND LEAVING THE REST BEHIND. AND I AM PUSHING FOR EQUALITY-ALL TOWN EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE TREATED IN A FAIR MANNER AND BE TREATED THE SAME. NO MORE SOME PEOPLE ON A PEDESTAL. IF THESE WORKED IN OTHER TOWNS IN 2007 THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED IN PLAIN ENGLISH AND THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW. JUST SITTING AROUND RAKING IN THE CASH-WRONG.

WELL IT LOOKS LIKE YET ANOTHER BUSINESS HAS CLOSED IN CHESHIRE, CT.  A FRIEND WAS DRIVING THROUGH CHESHIRE ON MONDAY AND WENT BY “ARBY’s AND THE SIGN OUT FRONT SAID “CLOSED.”

HONESTLY, I AM SURPRISED THEY STAYED OPEN AS LONG AS THEY DID-I NEVER SAW ANYONE IN THERE.

THIS TOWN HAS TWO BIG P PROBLEMS-THE POOL AND THE POLICE. AND I DON’T CARE IF YOU WANT TO ADMIT IT OR NOT. THIS TOWN HAS A BAD REPUTATION AS FAR AS THE POLICE GO WITH TICKETS-AND PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO COME HERE IF THEY DON’T HAVE TO. GONE ARE THE DAYS CHESHIRE,CT WHEN YOU COULD JUST RELY ON PROPERTY TAXES TO GET YOU BY. THE TOWN NEEDS SOME COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THE TOWN CATERS TO A FEW PEOPLE AND THAT IS WHY THERE IS THE MESS THERE IS HERE. THE OTHER DAY I WAS IN WINDSOR, CT AND THEY HAD A BUDGET WORKSHOP. MANY PEOPLE SHOWED UP AND THE TOWN MANAGER WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE IN THE TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS TAKING INPUT FROM RESIDENTS. IN FACT, IF YOU GO ON THEIR WEBSITE, THEY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE BUDGET AND TOWN ISSUES-THEY HAVE A “BUDGET SIMULATOR” WHERE YOU THE TAXPAYER, MAKE YOUR BUDGET BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE TOWN AND SUBMIT IT. THE TOWN MANAGER GOES OVER THE SUGGESTIONS.

COULD YOU IMAGINE THAT HERE? NO. THEY DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM PARTICIPATING. AND WHEN YOU TRY TO GET INVOLVED-YOU GET HARASSED BY THE POLICE (NOW I AM SURE ANOTHER COP CAR WILL DRIVE BY MY HOUSE AGAIN-AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING JUST ABOUT EVERYDAY) I HAVE A CAMERA SO I KNOW-DATES AND TIMES-GET TICKETS OR GET TOLD BY THE TOWN COUNCIL-”ARE YOU THROUGH”

JIM CAREY CALLED FOX NEWS A “MEDIA COLOSTOMY BAG” HELLO=THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT CHESHIRE, CT IS-A COLOSTOMY BAG FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE HERE. DO YOU THINK CHESHIRE, CT’S TAXES WILL GO UP .024 PERCENT LIKE WALLLINGFORD? HELL NO. BUT THEN AGAIN, I ALREADY CAUGHT YOU KNOW WHO SLIDING MONEY AROUND IN THE POLICE BUDGET. THE REAL PROPOSED BUDGET IS SOMETHING LIKE $5.6 MILLLION-NOT $4.9. SO IF THE CHIEF ASKS FOR A $5.1 MILLION BUDGET BY ALL MEANS-GIVE IT TO HIM. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS REAL AND WHAT ISN’T HERE. SAD

WHEN I WAS AT THE BUDGET HEARING YOU COULD SEE THE TM TRYING TO DO WHATEVER HE COULD TO GET THIS POLICE DEPT WHATEVER THEY WANTED AND THEN HAVE A TOWN  COUNCIL MEMBER SLAM THE FIRE DEPT. “OH YOU GO ON CALLS TO PUMP OUT PEOPLES BASEMENTS.”

WELL, HELLO – I KNOW FOR A FACT THE CHESHIRE, CT POLICE DEPT USED TO HAND DELIVER THE INFORMATION PACKETS TO THE TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE DAY BEFORE THE TOWN COUNCIL MEETINGS. TALK ABOUT THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN-THIS WAS THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR FED-EX. POLICE OFFICERS PAID TO BE COURIERS. REAL GOOD USE OF MAN/WOMAN POWER.

I WILL BE GOING ON TO OTHER THINGS-WITH OR WITHOUT YOU KNOW WHO-TAKE THIS TOWN AND  IT’S STUPID POOL AND ITS POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT IS WAY OVERSTAFFED AND OVER EQUIPPED-(BETTER WORDING) AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS  CHESHIRE CT. ITS NOT THEIR FAULT BUT THAT IS CULTURE HERE AND IT NEEDS TO GO. THINGS ARE GETTING WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. THIS IS NOT A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA WITH A LOT OF CRIME. I SUGGEST CHESHIRE FOLLOW NEW MILFORD’ S POLICE BUDGET-$4.6 MILLION (THE REAL FIGURE) AND THEY HAVE THE SAME POPULATION-BUT A LARGER SQUARE MILE AREA (THE SIZE OF BRIDGEPORT) AND A LOT MORE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. THEY DON’T NEED A BIG BUDGET AND A 50 PERSON POLICE FORCE-THEY HAVE 41 or 42 COPS.

THINK ABOUT IT-MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE COPS DRIVE UP AND DOWN STATE ROADS-WE DON’T PLOW RT 10, RT 42 or RT 68 WHY ARE WE PATROLLING THEM. IT ISN’T NECESSARY TO FUND A DEPARTMENT TO DO THAT-DO MV STOPS AND CAR SEAT ADJUSTMENTS. IS IT? AND ITS NOT THE COPS FAULT-I AM NOT BLAMING THEM EVER-THEY DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD-BUT IT IS THE WISHES OF A FEW PEOPLE AND I KNOW WHO THEY ARE. IT IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY.  JUST TONE IT DOWN. SOMEONE IN THIS TOWN HAS GOT IT THROUGH THEIR HEADS THAT IF THEY DON’T SATURATE THE ROADS WITH COPS THE TOWN WILL FALL INTO CHAOS AND ANARCHY. HAVE YOU LOOKED AROUND LATELY? YES YOU NOTICE AS I HAVE-WELL IS THE TOWN CRIME RIDDEN BECAUSE VISIBILITY HAS DIMINISHED? NO. A REPUTATION STAYS A LONG LONG TIME. CASE IN POINT-BRIDGEPORT. EVEN IF BRIDGEPORT NEVER HAD ANY MORE CRIME-EVER-AND WAS THE “SAFEST TOWN IN THE UNITED STATES-YOU WOULD HESITATE TO GO THERE-BASED ON THE PAST.

THERE IS AN OLD SAYING-”ONCE BITTEN-TWICE SHY.”

I DON’T WANT TO PAY TAXES TO A TOWN SO A FEW PEOPLE CAN HAVE THINGS THEIR WAY. DO YOU? THE POOL SHOULD BE YOUR LESSON.

IF YOU WANT TO FUND A POLICE DEPT THAT DOES NOTHING BUT HAND OUT A FEW TICKETS A DAY FOR NEARLY SIX MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR- THE REAL FIGURE- THEN BY ALL MEANS BENDOVER AND BE MY GUEST. FOR WHAT THEY DO-WE COULD HAVE A STATE TROOPER FOR $38,000 A YEAR-THE TOWN’S SHARE-DO THE SAME THING-DRIVE UP AND DOWN RT 10 (WHICH IS A STATE ROAD ANYWAY-RT 42, ANOTHER STATE ROAD AND WEST MAIN STREET AND GIVE OUT A FEW TICKETS TO A FEW UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS.  AT LEAST WITH THE STATE TROOPER THERE WOULD BE NO PENSIONS TO BE PAID-NO OVERTIME, NO EQUIPMENT COSTS-NO UNION HASSLES – HE STATE WOULD TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THAT. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN TO ME (AND ALWAYS HAS).

TIME TO START GETTING OH WAIT-GETTING “REAL” DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU? TWO YEARS AGO-CHESHIRE, CT WAS SUPPOSEDLY NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 20 SAFEST COMMUNITIES IN THE UNITED STATES-WITHOUT BEING FULLY STAFFED. SO WHY, PRAYTELL,  IS THE TOWN MANAGER PUSHING TO FULLY STAFF (49 POLICE OFFICERS) THIS DEPARTMENT WHEN IT WAS PERFECTLY “SAFE” WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL PEOPLE?

IF THE TOWN IS SO SAFE-THEN UNSCRAMBLE YOUR POLICE COMMUNICATIONS RADIO SO THE ORDINARY CITIZEN CAN HEAR WHAT GOES ON? YOU KNOW WHY THEY DON’T DO IT-BECAUSE YOU WOULD JUST HEAR DICK DO GARBAGE THAT IS WHY. THE SAME REASON WE CAN’T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER ABOUT HOW PEOPLE REALLY GO TO THE CHESHIRE, CT COMMUNITY POOL. 

 

AGAIN-I AM TOTALLY SUPPORTING THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE UNION. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS CONTRACT ISSUE HAS TO GO TO BINDING ARBITRATION WHICH COSTS THE TAXPAYER MONEY-AND UNNCESSARILY SO. IF YOU DON’T LIKE SOMETHING SAY IT -LIKE I DO AND STAND YOUR GROUND-DON’T ACT LIKE YOU (THE REPUBLICAN TOWN COUNCIL) ARE GOING TO PASS THE CONTRACT AND THEN PULL THE RUG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THESE PEOPLE. IT IS DEAD WRONG.

THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE FIELD HOUSE AND THE LOCKER ROOM-GET THE PUBLIC BUILDING COMMISSION TO STUDY THE IDEA, WHICH IN WINDSOR THEY NEVER WOULD-THEY ONLY OVERSEE AN ITEM AFTER THE TOWN COUNCIL APPROVES IT AND THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE-AND THEN PULL THE PLUG ON THAT ALSO.

THE ONLY EXCEPTION IN WINDSOR WAS THE WINDSOR HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM ROOF REPAIR. REMEMBER, THE ROOF FELL IN FROM THE FEBRUARY 2010 SNOWSTORM. THE TOWN STARTED THE PROJECT BASICALLY WITHOUT KNOWING WHETHER THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD PAY. THEY HAD A $1 MILLION RIDER AND USED THAT TO START EVERYTHING OFF. BUT IN THE END-THE $3.4 MILLION PROJECT IS GOING TO END UP COSTING THE TOWN OF WINDSOR, CT APPROXIMATELY $80,000.

WELL DONE.

I KNOW THE POLICE AND I  HAVE A TEMPESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP – BUT WHAT IS FAIR IS FAIR-BUT AS I STATED PREVIOUSLY, I ALWAYS LET YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL-AND I STAND MY GROUND. WE STILL NEED THESE PEOPLE TO HELP US AND PROTECT US AND I ONLY SAY WHAT I SAY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER- I HAVE TO USE TOUGH LOVE-BUT THE LAST WORD IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT IS. AND TEMPESTUOUS RELATIONSHIPS ARE THE MOST HONEST, THE MOST EXCITING, AND THE STRONGEST.

 

The Police Chief told the Town Council there is a “personnel expenses line” EDITORS’ NOTE: GOD ALMIGHTY WILL MICHAEL MILONE STOP INTERRUPTING TO GIVE THE PAGE NUMBERS? I THINK THE CHIEF IS QUITE CAPABLE OF TELLING PEOPLE WHAT PAGE HE IS REFERRING TO.

“personnel expenses line” in the budget that has a significant decrease, because the bulk of it was moved from the Patrol Division to the Traffic Division. He said this is basically the “Uniform & Equipment” line and the person who has been managing it has been the Department’s Quartermaster, who has been the commander of the Traffic Division, but the line item has always been held in the Patrol Budget” which did not really make sense to him. He said first of all, this line item is for purchasing equipment for the entire department, not just the Patrol Officers. The Chief said he wanted under this line item under the control of the person who is actually making the purchases so that they did not have to go to someone else everytime they had to do something.

The Chief told the Town Council that they would notice when they got to the Traffic Division budget that he left $7,000  in the line item in that budget because there are some expenses unique to the Traffic Division, particularly the supplies that end up in the back of the cruisers, i.e. flares and medical kits that they still need to purchase out of Patrol. He said he left $7,000  which you might think the line in Traffic would only be $30,000 but it isn’t it is $50,000 and that is the increase in the start up costs for the potential of four or five new hires sometime during the year. He said the initial “Uniform & Equipment Costs” -body armor, flashlights, a complete set of uniforms, outerwear, hats, raincoats, is roughly between $4,000 and $5,000. So the Department is anticipating having to do this four times before the fiscal year ends, assuming the people retire and we can get the new hires in place as quickly before July 30 of next year.

EDITORS NOTE: WAIT-THE CHIEF SAID IT CORRECTLY-MICHAEL MILONE IS RELIEVED.

The Town Manager said the bottom of Page 90 is where the $50,000 appears.  EDITORS NOTE: WHAT IS THE SENSE OF MOVING ALL OF THESE FIGURE AROUND CAN YOU TELL ME? TAKE OUT OF ONE AND PUT IN ANOTHER. IT STILL NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE BUDGET TOTAL SO WHO THE HELL CARES WHERE IT IS? THIS DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. DOES IT? IT DOES? NO IT DOESN’T. I CAN’T EVEN BALANCE A CHECKBOOK-I JUST WAIT FOR THE OVERDRAFT NOTICE-AND I FIGURED THIS OUT.

The Town Manager said the net effect of all of this is, with all of the movement, the aggregate of all of these accounts goes up about $13,500. Town Council Member Dave Schrumm asked about “Personnel.” He wanted to know if the Patrol Division is where the new hires would be placed.  The Chief said 99.9% the new hires will start off as new patrol officers. Mr. Schrumm asked if they would start out as PO-1. The Chief said they would actually start out as a “Recruit” and would be paid a little less than PO-1 for six months while they are in training.

EDITOR’S NOTE-NOW IT IS GETTING EXCITING. MICHAEL MILONE IS GOING TO TELL US HOW HE CALCULATED THE NUMBER. OK-I KNOW YOU ARE ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEATS-HERE WE GO.

The Town Manager said he estimated about a $19,000 savings for every Police Officer 5 that is replaced by a Police Officer in training and he only estimated it for half of the year, so he estimated two officers for half of the year and that is $19,000 and he estimated the LT retiring and that is going to the Police Officer in training and that generating about $15,000 in savings.  He said with each Officer for half of the year is about $9,500 $19,000 for half the year for two officers and $15,000 for one LT. Mr. Milone said he was considering one LT and two police officers (retiring). He said the other savings is the time lag that it would take to hire them and it is at least another three months when those positions are completely vacant and we are not drawing any salaries in those positions and that is the balance of the savings-about $34,000 is the vacancy itself, and then the other savings which is about $54,000, is the three months from the time that someone retires, until the time they are hired. He said the reason the money is so much is because with that one LT we are picking up the value of a quarter of the $80,000 and replacing it eventually with a balance of the Police Officer in training which is about $42,000.

Mr. Schrumm asked the Chief if he anticipated the five officers he wants to bring on being two-two and one or you don’t want to bring on all five at once, it may cause havoc with all the new hires —–The Chief said the most he has seen a department the size of Cheshire’s get seats in the police academy in Meriden is two. He said even if he could hire them all at once, he did not think he could get them into the academy for training all at once. He said when he first started, there was one officer in the Police Academy in Meriden and one in the academy in Milford, so Milford is what they call a “satellite” academy. He said they have permission from the State to train and run their own police academy. He said they do this in Waterbury, New Britain, New Haven and Milford, so there is always a chance-but getting five all at the same time, ready to go, he said he doesn’t think this is realistic. He said this is all predicated on three retirements and hoping there might be one or two more.

Mr. Schrumm asked if all of the reports are being generated out of the patrol cars. The Chief said yes, but with arrest reports, the Officer has to still physically take (EDITORS NOTE-OR IN MY CASE DRAG) the body of the person under arrest and take them into the building-you can’t start the booking process from the car, but the vast majority of the calls we are dealing with, traffic stops, medical calls, it is a drop down check box report, or alarms, are being done from the car.

EDITORS NOTE: HERE GOES MR RUOCCO-YEA!

Mr. Ruocco asked on page 86, about an overtime number of $272,000 and asked if this was comprised of overtime for these positions (EDITORS NOTE-THERE A LIST OF PEOPLE HE IS REFERRING TO).

The Chief said that is the Patrol Division’s overtime. Mr. Ruocco asked if everyone on that list was overtime eligible. The Chief said the Captain on the top-he said this overtime figure includes the dispatchers. Mr. Ruocco asked how is the time actually allocated-is it spread out fairly evenly among all the different salary levels. The Chief said the way the current collective bargaining agreement is with the minimum supervisory staffing, (the Chief referred to the list in the Cheshire Patch of the highest paid people-the LT, one two and three last year) because of the minimum supervisory staffing that is built in.

EDITORS NOTE: WHO IS DOING THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT-GENGHIS KHAN? IS THIS HIS RAPES? RAPING THIS TOWN OF MONEY-WHAT MINUMUM STAFFING? THIS ISN’T CAMDEN NEW JERSEY OR DETROIT MICHIGAN FOR GOD’S SAKES. IF AND I MEAN EMPHASIS ON IF, SOMETHING COMES UP, THEN CALL ANOTHER SUPERVISOR. WE HAVE TWO OR THREE SUPERVISORS SITTING THERE IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. WHY? JUST HAVE ONE ON. THE TOWN NEEDS TO PUT ITS FOOT DOWN OR JUST PRIVATIZE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO. UNREASONABLE AND COSTING THIS TOWN PLENTY.  NO WONDER ALL OF THESE COPS RETIRE TO NORTH CAROLINA TO THEIR NICE BEACH HOME-YOU PAID FOR IT.

The Chief said the three LT’s and the six SGTs on the list get more than 40% of the overtime even though they make up approximately 19% of the patrol staffing. Mr. Ruocco asked if the same situation applies to Investigations and Traffic. The Chief said not really. He said in Investigations, there is one DET SGT but most of what happens there on an overtime basis-weekend burglaries or any major criminal incidents, even if the SGT is called out, there is just one SGT, the Captain in that Division is non-union and not eligible for overtime, you might end up there with one SGT and two or three DETS coming in for a case, there is no minimum number of people in these Divisions that have to respond to a certain event, whereas we are somewhat limited by the contract language on the Supervisory staff where there has to be two patrol supervisors on second shift everyday-that is where the lion’s share of the overtime goes.

OK MORE ON FRIDAY
