LOOKS LIKE THE HAMDEN PD IS IN A SITUATION WITH THE TASER USE ON THIS GUY WHO WAS BICYCLING TO HIS MOM’S HOUSE. APPARENTLY, (DON’T KNOW HOW) HE GOT STOPPED AND THE COPS FOUND A HALF OUNCE OF POT. OH LOOK, I DON’ T SMOKE POT -BUT COME ON – A HALF OUNCE. JEEZ – GO TO MONTREAL-THE PEOPLE WALK UP AND DOWN THE STREETS SMOKING POT DAY AND NIGHT AND THE COPS DO IT TOO!

THE WAY IT WORKS IN MONTREAL – IF YOU DON’T BOTHER ANYONE OR CAUSE HARM TO ANYONE THE COPS LEAVE YOU ALONE. THIS COUNTRY HAS TURNED INTO A CASH COW FOR THE COURT SYSTEMS. CASE IN POINT – HOW MANY TIMES DID THAT KID IN SEYMOUR THAT WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE COPS TRIED TO PULL OVER – CRASHED AND KILLED THE 15-YEAR-OLD PASSENGER-HOW MANY TIMES WAS HE PULLED OVER AND TICKETED!! TOO MANY TO COUNT! HIS DRIVING HISTORY LOOKED LIKE MACHINE GUN KELLY’S RAP SHEET! AND HE WAS STILL DRIVING! WHY? BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO KEEP OFFENDING. THEY DON’T WANT THE REGULAR LAW BREAKERS OFF THE STREET -IT’S MONEY AND SOMETHING TO DO BETWEEN 9 AND 5.  IF THESE TRAFFIC STOPS REALLY WORKED – NUMBER ONE-NO ONE WOULD BE DRIVING – BECAUSE OUR LICENSES WOULD ALL BE REVOKED!

IT IS LIKE A CREDIT CARD – THEY WANT YOU TO PAY THE MINIMUM BALANCE AND KEEP CHARGING. I REMEMBER YEARS AGO D GOT HIS CARD CANCELED BECAUSE HE PAID IN FULL EVERY MONTH. FOR REAL! THEY CANCELED HIS CARD. WHY? WHY DO YOU THINK? NO MONEY ON LATE FEES THAT IS WHY.

GROW UP AND LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE FOR GOD SAKES. LIFE IS HARD ENOUGH WITHOUT HAWAII FIVE-O ON YOUR BACK ALL THE TIME. DAMN.

UPDATE: I DID HEAR FROM THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE CHIEF ABOUT THAT TRAFFIC STOP. HE IS REVIEWING THE TAPE WHICH IS MORE THAN FAIR. I WILL NOT COMMENT PUBLICLY ON THIS ANY FURTHER. I AM NOT OUT TO GET ANYONE IN TROUBLE-JUST TO MAKE SURE IF THE CHIEF THINKS SOMETHING IS WRONG – IT DOESN’T HAPPEN AGAIN.

ANYWAY-OH THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT JUST APPROPRIATED $500,000 TOWARDS A NEW  POOL DEHUMIDIFIER! THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS YEARS AGO! THEY NEVER LISTEN TO ANYONE – INCLUDING MR. BK WHO MENTIONED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL YEARS AGO – GOES IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER. BELIEVE ME, WHEN I MENTIONED THE POOL TO SOME PEOPLE IN WINDSOR THE OTHER NIGHT – THEY STARTED LAUGHING!

I JUST HEARD  STATE OF CT  HOUSE REP. AL ADINOLFI ( WHO IS A CHESHIRE CT RESIDENT), TALK ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY AT A HEARING AT THE STATE CAPITOL.  I ONLY HEARD THE LAST FEW SECONDS, BUT IN REFERRING TO THE PETIT HOME INVASION, HE SAID WHEN H AND K WERE IN THE CAR TRYING TO ESCAPE, THE COPS MADE THE DECISION TO SHOOT THEM BUT WHEN THEY CRASHED AND THE POLICE SAW THEIR HEADS WERE DOWN, THEY DECIDED THEY COULD NOT DO IT.

I WOULD HAVE DONE IT – NO DAMN PROBLEM.  SEE WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE A TASTE – YOU ARE AFRAID AND THAT IS BAD. MY DAD USED TO SAY – DON’T CARRY A WEAPON IF YOU ARE AFRAID OR DON’T PLAN ON USING IT. TRU DAT DADDIO. FOLLOWED YOUR ADVICE.

ALSO THIS SINKHOLE PROBLEM – WHO DOES SOME CERTAIN   TOWN THINK THEY ARE KIDDING? KNOW ABOUT THE INFORMATION – AND HAVE IT STORED IN SOMEONE’S OFFICE – NOT IN THE GRANTOR GRANTEE INDEX WHERE IT BELONGED SO POTENTIAL BUYERS COULDN’T SEE IT. THEN CONVENIENTLY HAVE THE TEST HOLES BORED WHERE THE SINKHOLES WEREN’T? REALLY.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN ONLY HIDE THE DIRTY LAUNDRY FOR SO LONG-THEN IT STARTS PILING UP. THIS IS WHY I AM SO ENCOURAGED WITH THIS NEW POLICE CHIEF IN CHESHIRE CT. HE IS GOING TO BE FAIR ON BOTH SIDES. IT IS GOING TO TAKE MANY YEARS TO BREAK THIS ATTITUDE IN THIS TOWN – TO TOOK OVER 50 YEARS TO GET THIS WAY – ARROGANT – DO WHAT THEY WANT – ANSWER TO NO-ONE. NOT ANYMORE HOPEFULLY. THE POLICE CAN DO THEIR JOB QUITE SATISFACTORILY WITHOUT THE ATTITUDE OR NASTY COMMENTS. REMEMBER, D HAS BEEN DOING HIS JOB FOR OVER 35 YEARS WITH THE LABOR DEPT AS A REVENUE EXAMINER AND HAS BEEN ONE OF THE TOP REVENUE COLLECTING AGENTS ALL OF THIS TIME – WITHOUT THE SNOTTY COMMENTS AND THE “EMBELLISHING: ON THE REPORTS. GO AHEAD AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO “RIDE ALONG” WITH HIM – FYI- YOU WILL HAVE TO GO IN THAT OLD BEATER 1991 CAMRY BUT IT WORKS – I KNOW YOU WOULD LEARN HOW TO DO YOUR JOB DEALING WITH THE PUBLIC – IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER.

NOW, I DID CONTACT MR. SITKO, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CO-ORDINATOR FOR THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE, CT TO TELL HIM TO GET ON THE STICK REGARDING THIS MILLION SQUARE FOOT WAREHOUSE THE DOLLAR TREE WANTS TO CONSTRUCT IN WINDSOR, CT SOME OF WHICH WILL BE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE PROPOSED SIZE TAKES UP 34 ACRES. AS YOU EXPECT, THE PEOPLE ARE BLOWING A GASKET RIGHTFULLY SO. I WAS IN WINDSOR, CT ON TUESDAY NIGHT ATTENDING TO OTHER BUSINESS, AND I SAW OVER 200 PEOPLE AT THAT PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING AND THEY WERE NOT HAPPY.

I KNOW THE TOWN OF WINDSOR, CT WAS GOING TO GIVE THE DOLLAR TREE SOMETHING LIKE A 75% TAX INCENTIVE OVER A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD. THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT SHOULD CONTACT THE DOLLAR TREE AND OFFER THE EMPTY PRATT AND WHITNEY BUILDING ON KNOTTER DRIVE. THE DOLLAR TREE COULD PROBABLY GET AN INCENTIVE FROM THE STATE OF CT ALSO.

THE PEOPLE IN WINDSOR CT ARE CONCERNED WITH IDLING TRUCKS. I KNOW PEOPLE IN THE AREA OF SOME BIG WAREHOUSE IN CHESHIRE CT HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOOT ON THEIR WINDOWS FROM IDLING TRUCKS. NOT PLEASANT.

NOW, CHESHIRE CT HAD BETTER START SAVING ITS CASH FOR THAT PHOSPHORUS LEGISLATION PROPOSED BY THE CT DEPT. OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. THIS REGULATION WOULD AFFECT 43 (NOT 41) TOWNS. THE LOCAL TOWNS ARE CHESHIRE, MERIDEN, WALLIINGFORD AND SOUTHINGTON BECAUSE THEY OPERATE TREATMENT PLANTS THAT DISCHARGE TO THE QUINNIPIAC RIVER.

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT CHESHIRE, CT BUT THE TOWN OF WALLINGFORD, CT ESTIMATES THE WATER/SEWER DIVISION WOULD NEED TO MAKE A $19 MILLION CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN ORDER TO MEET THE DISCHARGE LIMIT CURRENTLY PROPOSED BY DEEP. ACCORDING TO A MEMO RELEASED BY THE DIRECTOR, GEORGE ADAIR, “THE CARRYING COSTS FOR THE PROJECT DEBT FINANCING, PLUS THE INCREASED ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS WOULD RESULT IN A RATE INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY 32% FOR THE DIVISION’S CUSTOMERS.

WALLINGFORD IS WORKING WITH CHESHIRE, MERIDEN AND SOUTHINGTON IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE DEEP TO AGREE AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH, BUT I HAVE HEARD THE DEEP MAY NOT GO FOR IT.

WALLINGFORD JUST HIRED A LOBBYING FIRM WHICH IS CHARGING $24,000. WALLINGFORD’S SHARE WOULD BE EITHER ONE-QUARTER OF THE $24,000 OR $6,000 OR IN THE EVENT NOT ALL THE TOWNS CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE, WOULD BE ON A ONE-THIRD BASIS.

DON’T START BRAGGING CHESHIRE CT ABOUT THIS 2 PERCENT INCREASE IN THE MILL RATE WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THIS NEW PHOSPHORUS REGULATION WILL COST YOU PLENTY. ADMIT IT FOR ONCE AND COME OUT WITH THE FACTS SO PEOPLE AREN’T BLINDSIDED IN THIS TOWN.
