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.

We need to have a community discussion on housing in Newtown. perhaps this bill, even if vetoed, will cause us to look hard at our progress to date and future options. Our past results, strongly influenced by "not in my backyard" as dismal. The Bees terminology of "undesirable zoning" shows a concerning lack of understanding of how critical this issue is.
