State Launches Toll-Free

Legalized Gambling Hotline

HARTFORD â The Division of Special Revenue has installed a confidential toll-free Legalized Gambling Hotline to assist the public with reporting complaints or incidents of abuse involving gambling activity within the state. The number is 800/699-0909.

The hotline will provide a recorded message instructing the caller to either leave a confidential message or referring the caller to a direct telephone number should the caller wish to speak with someone. The confidential recorded messages will be accessed only by the division chief of security, who will investigate the report or refer the matterÂ to other authorities if appropriate.

All information obtained over the Hotline will remain strictly confidential.

The division licenses all individuals and gaming entities associated with legalized gambling in the State of Connecticut and at the Native American casinos. The division oversees gambling activities in conjunction with the Connecticut State Police and the Tribal Gaming Commissions, who have primary jurisdiction over casino operations. The division is also responsible for insuring the integrity of the games and gambling operations which include the state lottery, off-track betting, greyhound racing, jai alai, and charitable gaming.Â

The devil is in the details, what constitutes recreation, a ice skating arena. A tennis club?

The language “any purpose other than open space or recreation, the parcel shall revert to the state of Connecticut” is a bit concerning and warrants clarification. Would the existing infrastructure be violative of this language?

It’s disappointing to see Newtown move forward with the so-called “Save-As-You-Throw” program—let’s be honest, it’s really Pay-As-You-Throw. Most families will end up paying more just to throw out their trash, despite the high taxes we already pay. While the swap shop and free bulky waste disposal are nice ideas, they don’t offset the added cost and inconvenience of having to buy special blue bags—up to $4.40 each. It’s especially frustrating to see threats of $500 fines and policeenforcement tied to something that used to be a basic service. This isn’t about sustainability—it’s about shifting more costs onto residents. I hope the town will reconsider and find a more reasonable and affordable approach. I have already heard discussions about purchasing backyard incinerators as a work around. What's next, is the town going to discontinue curb side recycling?

Save-As-You-Throw Program Coming To Transfer Station July 1

Absent is the observation that the dangerous e-bike riders are young teen boys right at that age where they are physically capable of daring stunts but mentally incapable of understanding how dangerous they can be to themselves and others. I witnessed this Wednesday afternoon driving back home from Norwalk- a kid around 14 was cruising at about 20mph and barely glanced at other traffic while barnstorming thru a 4 way stop. Many others have observed the same behavior from the same cohort. I'm not sure 'big govt' is the solution but without parental supervision I think it's the best we've got. Will there be penalties for breaking whatever e-bike rules are put in place, or will their young age excuse them from legal consequences? Good luck with the regulations!

Borough May Look At E-Bike Regulation, Is The Rest of Newtown Next?

The recent letter unfairly suggests the Trump administration is deliberately trying to surrender America’s global leadership in science and technology. That’s an oversimplification. Federal funding has long supported innovation, but it’s only part of the equation. Private investment, world-class universities, and a strong business environment have also driven U.S. leadership. Changes to funding priorities don't equal abandonment — they reflect broader debates about the role of government and where taxpayer dollars are most effective. Claiming that scientists will flee and that our future rests on tax cuts and golf trips reduces a complex issue to political theater. Let’s have a serious discussion about how best to support innovation — without the hyperbole.
