Just a thought. That being said, having the ferries running for anything but a tourist attraction or a self funded novelty is just silly. If the route is that necessary, why isn't there a bridge?

This is yet another example of how much contempt those in the ruling class have for us great unwashed masses in the private sector. They make the smallest amount of cuts that result in the most amount of inconvenience for the public. I'm quite certain that they haven't even looked at the multiple layers of salaried management and analyzed to what degree of useless and redundant they are.

I must be the one in a million. Good lord, we've become total wimps and slaves to weather. If it snows out a half inch, run for the basement after panic buying of staples. If it gets a little too warm, feighn illness and run for a cooling center. What's next? "Breaking - darkness is on the way again tonight. Police advice people stay indoors and turn on the EPA approved compact fluorescent lamps.

Imagine that, a roof on an abandoned rickety building collapses. Why the rush to condemn the building? There's something sinister going on here.

Now even the cost to borrow money goes up! More reason to raise taxes even higher. Kudos to the CT Legislature. Great job, great job y'all doing there. You ought to be proud.

He reresents that absolute worst kind of racist there is. This wouldn't draw 3 seconds of Sharpton's attention unless the shooter was white, and the victim was black. I cringe at the thought of the likes of Sharpton being called "leaders." Go ahead everyone, give me all the thumbs down you want, I don't care, but you know I'm right.
