Michelle Ku For State Representative In The 106th

Election Season Is Starting

It’s Not Too Early To Make Your Plan To Vote

All In For Hayes, Blanchard, Ku, Kerton And Lamont In November

Will Vote For Embree Ku

How about for your 30th edition you lay out all the reasons to vote Democrat? What specific policies are the Democrats about that people should be excited about? Remember, "Trump bad" is not a policy.

Elections Have Consequences XXIX

Completely lost me at "supporting Kamala Harris for President". I'll grant any pessimist their dim view of the current administration but I just can't take you seriously if you thought she would be a reasonable alternative. I'd sooner vote for the autopen.

Newtown Deserves Leaders Who Reflect Our Values And Fight For Our Fair Share

Those with an opinion on this matter can email: Pura.ExecutiveSecretary@ct.gov And be heard. My own nickel's worth (inflation) ... I sent them this on Aug. 1. This is not "new" news. "I have learned that Nutmeg TV has petitioned the State of Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to take over Public Access in Charter’s Newtown area. "I've read the proposal. I'm unalterably opposed. Why are you even considering this?! "If PURA approves it I will still do everything I can as a Connecticut resident, activist and user of the Charter Public Access facility in Newtown to fight it and prevent it from happening. "Having the studio in Newtown has enabled residents to start rebuilding local media and news in our area, in just the last year. We've gotten volunteers trained; we've launched a couple of shows. It has been a three steps forward, two steps back kind of process. I am hopeful. Charter's staff has been OUTSTANDING in support and encouragement. "Make this change? There is no way we can get volunteers to Farmington. Or local guests. We'd be done. I'd be really, really mad." Jeff Schult Sandy Hook

Public Access Is A Great Resource

I dont think I've ever seen a letter with so many em dashes. A new high score in Chat GPT?

Maybe we should have let Bruce shift the meetings earlier in the day, because clearly he is asleep at the wheel... Only three weeks after his apology and another false promise to do better ... on the night of July 30, Bethel Police, Connecticut State Police K-9 teams, and the Newtown Police Drone Unit were conducting an extensive search in the Saw Mill Road area for a suspect. Residents received no contemporaneous public notice from the First Selectman’s Office. This is exactly the type of situation the town says its emergency communication system exists to address. Newtown’s Emergency Management page states that, together with the Office of the First Selectman, it provides critical public information and warnings about emergency situations. The town’s own CodeRED materials specifically list criminal activity among the examples of alerts residents might receive.
