Detours Through Fairfield Hills Following CrashDetours are in place this Monday morning following a crash around 6:30 that sent one driver to the hospital.Detours are in place this Monday morning following a crash around 6:30 that sent one driver to the hospital.Drivers on Wasserman Way are being detoured by Newtown Police officers, who are staged at the intersection of Wasserman at Mile Hill South and Wasserman at Trades Lane. Police, fire, and ambulance were sent to Wasserman Way around 6:30, after the driver of a four-door station wagon/SUV traveling east on Wasserman lost control of that vehicle. The vehicle struck a utility pole, then went off the north side of the roadway, also known as State Route 490, and crashed into the chain link fence there. The driver of that vehicle was taken to the hospital by Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps.A second vehicle was caught under utility wires that had fallen across the roadway due to the crash. The driver of that vehicle was reportedly uninjured, but had to wait until an Eversource crew arrived on scene. The crew disconnected power, and the driver of the second vehicle was able to drive from the scene.The roadway will remain closed until the utility pole can be replaced and wires restrung. Firefighters from Newtown Hook & Ladder and Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue also responded.
As I understand it, they would be allowed to have a single building that is completely residential, as long as they also do commercial somewhere else. Or they could put 160 apartments in a building and a single little office and that office would be “commercial” and qualify. Definitely attend. We are only at this point due to a misleading question on the November ballot.
My comments are apolitical. My point is that CT is not run well, regardless of the name of the party in office. It is underperforming almost all other states in the union with respect to the economy. People are not leaving just to retire. They're leaving to find jobs and that is a major concern for the future of the state.
I reiterate, MA and NY are generally run by Democrats. If CT people are fleeing CT for these states, then it is obvious that being run by Democrats is not the problem.
From the Hartford Business Journal.
The large number of people moving to high-tax states likely indicates people are chasing new job opportunities, among other potential reasons.
However, it should be noted that Connecticut used to be a tax haven back in the 1980s, before the state enacted its income tax, with people and companies moving here from high-tax states like New York.
That competitive advantage has been eroded over the last few decades, making it less painful for tax-conscious citizens to cross the border into a higher-tax state like New York.
Why are the jobs in NY and MA? Look at the profile of existing corporations that are there and the startup environment that those states promote. Why have some major employers left CT?
