Phony
March 31st, 2009 by CindyI will admit-I am really bad with budgets-so I was really thrown for a loop when the Cheshire Town Government proposed a zero budget increase for 2009-2010. I don’t see how they are going to do it-I mean the Board of Education budget is lean.
So in order to do this zero increase, the Democrats and Republicans are going to prorate it between the town budget and the education budget. Two thirds of the savings will come from the Board of Ed!! That is in addition to the 1.1 million that Schools Supt. Greg Florio has ALREADY cut from the proposed budget.
THIS IS NOT ADVISABLE!!
This proposal is an election year stunt. I AM SICK OF IT!! The last time they had a zero year budget the following year was a “restoration” budget. And I don’t know HOW the town is going to do this with the State deficit GROWING EVEN WORSE!!
The town may be able to “slice and dice” this year and MAYBE NEXT-but after that?? WHO KNOWS!! If the town wants to cut back- REALLY CUT BACK AND NAME SPECIFICS- HERE IS THE QUEENS RECOMMENDATIONS!!!
The Board of Education needs to pare down from three to two vice-principals.
Also, FROM THIS DAY FORWARD-all town hires SHOULD BE PART TIME!!!
All Departments EXCEPT the TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE-should be taking a salary FREEZE!!
The pool should be closed for the next two years and that money diverted to the pension fund!!
We are now going to stop the CHESPROCOTT SUBSIDY at approximately $182,000 a year!!
Raise the Probate Court RENT!!
The town of Cheshire currently budgets approximately $5,400. I am pretty sure the town of Prospect which uses our Probate Court, gives Cheshire $6,000 for their use of the Cheshire office.
WHY ARE WE FUNDING A STATE AGENCY?? The Probate Court charges fees on top of it.
SOLUTION: VOELKER, MOVE IN WITH YOUR NAMESAKE IN THE PLANNING OFFICE!!
STOP STOP STOP FUNDING THE PROBATE COURT. THE PEOPLE WHO USE THESE SERVICES ALREADY PAY!! WHY ARE WE FUNDING IT!!
This town lets the state of Connecticut SHITE all over them!! END IT NOW!!
IF OUR TOWN COUNCILORS ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT SAVING MONEY THAN THEY NEED TO TAKE THESE ACTIONS IMMEDIATELY.
Now while I am on the subject of “phony,” I have been interested for years in the scuttlebut surrounding the manned spaceflights to the moon in the late 60′s and early to mid 70′s.
For many many years now, some people have claimed that man never landed on the moon and the entire program from Apollo 11 to 17, (excluding Apollo 13) was phony and took place on various “sets” in the deserts of the Southwest or even in a movie studio in England!!
I don’t believe any of it. AS I STATED BEFORE, I believe the USA went to the moon and back-several times.
First of all, the United States Government CANNOT KEEP A SECRET!! They are REALLY BAD AT LYING!!
And you mean to tell me all the people involved with NASA with their moon missions, WELL OVER ONE MILLION, not ONE would spill the beans!! Out of the million, there would have been at LEAST ONE OR TWO disgruntled employees, someone would have come forward.
I am going to run an article that discusses both sides: the moon missions were all faked and the moon missions were real.
I don’t buy some of their arguments-like the no stars theory.
Some of the skeptics state that the moon landings were on a set because there were “no stars.”
First of all, the lighting on the moon is so bright and the sky of outer space so dark, that the human eye cannot process these significant differences-hence, NO STARS!!
Case in point-go to Times Square in NYC on a clear night-look up. Can YOU see ANY STARS??
Secondly, I know for a fact that you cannot see stars in outer space and even sub sub space. HOW DO I KNOW??
Because in 1982, I actually FLEW on the Concorde SST out of JFK in NYC to Paris, France. Takeoff was at 250 mph. Cruising speed, OVER 1,200 MPH!! ALTITUDE-OVER 60,000 feet which is 11 miles above the Earth.
At that altitude, you CAN SEE the curvature, ever so slight, of the Earth. THERE WERE NO STARS TO BE SEEN-NONE AT ALL!!
I do have photos and I will convert them to a CD and download them onto this blog. I have hesitated doing this I will admit, because these photos CANNOT BE REPLACED if they are lost!! I don’t have the negatives, so I am a little squirrely about putting them in someone else’s hands.
We flew so high that we were exposed to higher radiation levels then most conventional flights-but the entire trip was MIND BOGGLING and I will never forget it. Well, for nearly $7,000 it should have been!!
IT WAS!!
The main fact: People back then were smarter than today!! ACCEPT IT!!
Just because it was 40 years ago, does not mean people did not possess the skills to complete this task.
Look at the ancient Romans. THEY HAD HOT AND COLD RUNNING WATER, which they could and DID shut off if you did not pay your bill!!
They had elevators.
They painted in 3-D TRUMP L’OEIL, I KNOW I SAW THIS AT POMPEII.
They were able to flood the Roman Coliseum with water to stage naval “battles” and then drain the water away!!
If you ever went to the Pantheon in Rome, you then saw the LARGEST UNSUPPORTED CONCRETE DOME-38 feet across UNTIL THE YEAR 1958!! Yes, that is absolutely true.
So called “modern man” WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS FEAT UNTIL THE INVENTION OF COMPUTERS!!
The Romans had “computers” they were able to use them to raise and lower curtains at theater productions!!
The Romans had “dentures” In fact, the bridges we use today in dentistry WERE INVENTED BY THE ROMANS!!
They knew how to do plastic surgery.
THE ROMANS INVENTED THE BALL BEARING!!
They were able to move water over hundreds of miles on their aqueducts WHICH ARE STILL STANDING TODAY!! They knew how to tunnel through rock without the use of dynamite. They had fully functional hospitals!!
The shades they used to partially cover the Coliseum and keep people “cool” was so advanced even by today’s standards, it still isn’t clear how this was done!!
They even had a musical organ that played during events at the Coliseum. How did it play without electricity?? They used running water!! They knew how to pipe it several stories into the air!! They even had “cranes” to lift the massive stone up into the air to build their structures!!
So, don’t tell me peoples of ago were not as smart as the people of today!!
And now onto our talking point:
WERE THE MOON LANDINGS FAKED??
Apollo Reality
