Did you see it? You know, when the Town of Cheshire tries to “smooth over” problems-you “see it”
It’s called “Channel 14-the Town Government Channel and the show is called “Your Town Government”
Now mind you, SOME of the shows are informative-but this last one on the snow plows-come on! I am going to re run those “Broken Mailbox photos again and you decide-do you think this damage was caused by a plow going 18 t0 20 mph??
What should be taking place is an outright in your face discussion-”look people of Cheshire, I the Town Manager have received complaints and have seen the “Broken Mailbox” photos on UTH and I am getting to the bottom of it NOW!!
All this reminds me of that famous speech I have highlighted on Youtube by President Kennedy-called the “Secret Society” speech.
“Their mistakes are buried-NOT HEADLINED-their dissenters are SILENCED not PRAISED”!!
That is why Mr. Ruocco, Town Councilor, the letter you received from the “Concerned Tax Payers of Cheshire” the same letter I ran on this blog that was sent to me, WAS ANONYMOUS!!
Go read why people are afraid to put their names on things in this town. Your own party member had a comment on HIS BLOG when I ran for the Town Council.
(sic) “I am not going to get in trouble or lose my job having to deal with Ms. Kleist”
CASE CLOSED.
This is the most pathetic statement I have ever read-and my spouse HAS BEEN TOLD THIS ALSO!! THIS TOWN IS NOT A DICTATORSHIP-PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO SPEAK-EVEN TOWN EMPLOYEES!!
I am really surprised I didn’t get blamed for writing this “anonymous letter” as I have been in the past:
Just ask the cops.. they’ll tell you about Cindy’s community spirit when it come to anonymous letters.
That was a comment-AN ANONYMOUS COMMENT to boot-from the 2007 elections on TWL.
This is what I mean.
Is THIS what they spent their time doing a year ago? Must be nice.
This is one reason I have a link to “Only in Bridgeport” by my former colleague and friend Lenny Grimaldi.
Do you see all the comments he has-OVER 10,000!! People from the City speak out, employees speak out-this is what we are used to in Bridgeport and many other communities-you have something on your mind-you say it!!
I fear not in this town. TOO BAD!!
And in the spirit of “Criswell” remember him? I predict a whole slew of municipal retirements before 2010 when something goes to court.
I can see that it won’t be long
You grow cold when you keep holding on
You know you’ve changed
And your words they lie
That’s something you can’t deny

Now onto the featured subject:
Socialism vs Capitalism.
Is it time for the U.S. to restructure. Has healthy competition from small businesses and mom and pop stores mushroomed out of control and turned into a feeding frenzy for CORPORATE AMERICA.
I mean look, a company making billions upon billions profit, while the rest of the population fall by the wayside is NOT I believe the American way.
I believe our government NEEDS to get involved in certain areas-like funding education as they do in Canada. In Quebec, as I have stated before on this blog, ALL University tuition is approximately $1,836 PER YEAR!!
In fact, a few years ago, when Quebec raised the credit hour from $10 to $12-there were RIOTS!!
BUT their educational system is a lot stricter than ours-FIVE years of high school and University is very competitive. BTW-college is FREE!!
Free health care-sounds great-BUT you wait sometimes months or years to have an operation. That is why nearly 90 percent of all Canadians live within 110 miles of the U.S. border!!
Also do you want to pay 16 percent SALES TAX on everything??
That is the price because the money has to come from somewhere doesn’t it. Maybe it is worth it-as far as education and health care go. Why is our government letting people go without decent health care-we can WELL afford to pay for it. Look what we spend each month in Iraq and Afghanistan!! Why do people have to mortgage their homes and put themselves and their children into debt to get an education!! WHY!!
So let us discuss CAPITALISM vs SOCIALISM. Remember, Bridgeport had a Socialist mayor, Jasper McLevy from 1933 to 1957!! VERY POPULAR MAYOR!! So this idea is worth discussing.
