Westbound traffic works its way past a 2007 Ford Edge that had rolled onto its roof following a crash around 2:50 pm Wednesday, November 23. According to Newtown Police, Brian J. Guidi, 40, of Naugatuck, was traveling east on Berkshire Road approaching the intersection with Grays Plain and Bennetts Bridge roads. Guidi told police he had the green light, and continued straight through the intersection. Colby Harrell, 17, of Sandy Hook, operating a 2007 Honda Civic EX, had been traveling north on Gray’s Plain. Harrell told police he stopped for a red light, and then began to travel straight through the intersection after the light turned green. The vehicles collided, with the Ford rolling onto its roof before coming to a stop approximately 30 feet east of the intersection, still on Berkshire. Both operators were checked by Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps for injuries, but refused further care. Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue responded to the crash. Both vehicles were towed due to damage. Due to conflicting operator accounts and other factors, fault for the crash was not immediately assigned. —Bee Photo, Hicks

Q, Where is the misinformation? His statement on Colin Powell was right there in his own tweets (or Truth Social) for you to read. The statements on John McCain, soldiers with TBI, and Gold Star parents we're right out of his mouth. You can find the clips. But you don't want to hear any of it, so keep tossing around the canned thought stoppers: TDS, Orange Man BAD, he's renting space in your head, mean tweets. Just the equivalent of a child putting his hands on his ears yelling "LA, LA,LA".

I remember Barbara and Carol were always together in high school and I so much wanted to be their friend. And we were friends for over 60 years through their marriage to Ken and Gordon, kids and places they lived. It was so sad to see Barb struggle with Parkinson for so long. Yet she was always pleasant and caring about you. Thank you Frank for helping her cope and laugh during some difficult times. Love you and miss you Barb.

What if you don't WANT 'green energy' cake? Yet 33% of CT ratepayers (by the writer's math) just have to smile and eat it. I'm not so sure that if whatever majority of CT that wants "to do something" had to pay the full bill for that "something" without subsidies pried from the unwilling that this cake would be so fashionable anymore. I agree, Christine - if you feel that this is something you should invest in please do so, but please stop using my money to chase your dream.

We Can’t Have Our Climate Cake And Eat It Too

Arnie, you fail to mention that accumulated inflation during the Trump presidency was 9% and averaged under 2%, while Biden accumulated inflation was around 20% and averages roughly 4.5%. So Trump did much better on inflation even though he had put his China tariffs in place. Why? !.Drill, baby, drill! Trump understands the power of cheap energy at home and to help our allies. Estimates are that US output would have been 1-3 million barrels per day higher if Trump had remained in office. This alone would have had a massive effect on inflation since so much of our economy is energy dependent. Not deleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve or paying Venezuela for dirtier oil than ours would have been side benefits. 2. Regulation. Do you remember that Trump told his Cabinet members that for every one regulation that they wanted to pass they had to remove ten? Regulation under Biden has exploded and has cost American citizens 2.5 times what it did under Trump ($5,000 vs $2,000). Democrats keep saying that Trump's tax cuts only benefited the wealthy. That is a falsehood. 80% of those cuts went to the middleclass and Kamala won't renew them. Massive tax increases for the middle class will result and the economy will tank! As for your prediction that Trump would limit immigration, tightening the labor market. Trump would only block illegal immigration while adjusting legal immigration as it is needed by business. A far more important influence on the job situation is tax policy. Businesses came back to the US when the corporate tax was lowered by Trump. Kamala wants to raise it above China's and make it the highest in the world! Money goes where it is treated the kindest. Kamala also wants to increase tax inflation by doubling the capital gains rate and taxing unrealized gains. Taxes on unrealized gains would force small business owners to liquidate part of their businesses every year. Do you support such folly? If so, you are more Democrat campaign manager than investment manager!

A Vote For Trump Is A Vote For Runaway Inflation
