Totally agree. But hey, at least his poor judgement is consistent. This is the same guy who suggested that building a stadium would be a good compromise for the environmentally sensitive property next the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary on what is now Newtown's newest open space (aka 6 Commerce Road).

Use Of The Word ‘Stupid’

How dare you present actual facts Jim....those darn pesky facts. :-)

Facts First

Imagine for a moment a world in which Lynn took 5 minutes to see what part of the Newtown's government is responsible for the modification of existing ordinances or proposing new ones. In that world, Lynn might see that she could have taken the matter into her own hands by approaching the Legislative Council, rather than just dumping her concerns upon the First Selectman and magically expecting results.

Ah yes, David, clearly the root cause of every problem in our town—from rogue dogs to regional water supply issues—is Jeff Capeci’s inability to check his voicemail or file a letter properly. Forget that state law dictates how Animal Control handles bites, or that the controversial announcement you accuse him of not producing was mailed to most residents, and posted on Aquarion's facebook page. I realize facebook is full of absoutle garbage and is not the best place to get real information but when it comes from a company, generally it has been vetted. Regardless, you are right, if only Jeff had a bigger Post-it note pad, all would be "nicer in Newtown".

The behavior displayed by some members of the public during the recent Planning & Zoning meeting was disappointing, if not downright shameful. Booing and speaking over our all-volunteer, elected commissioners—who have committed countless hours to reviewing applications and hearing public input—isn't civic engagement. It's mob behavior, plain and simple. I frequently refer to this kind of obstructionist outrage as "NIMBY mob mentality," and this was a textbook example. Disagreeing with a decision is one thing; undermining the democratic process through heckling and disrespect is another.
