The Bee publishes about 3,800(1) copies each week. This is now the 24th installment of “Trump’s Triumphs,” and these pieces generally run about 9 to 11 column inches each. Given the Bee’s broadsheet page size of 16.75" by 22.75" — or roughly 136 column inches per full page — that means this series has consumed the equivalent of about 6,700 full broadsheet pages over 24 installments, or roughly 0.42 acres of paper surface.
If those pages were laid down end to end, sheet by sheet, they would stretch from the flagpole all the way to the transfer station — about 2.4 miles.
On the theme of Earth Day, it is worth remembering that at some point, it stops being civic discourse and starts looking like a remarkable waste of paper.
Source figures: 3,800 copies per week, approximately 10 column inches per installment, 136 column inches per full page, 7.35% of a page per installment, across 24 installments.
Excellent forum hosted by these young college students. They posed difficult but very important questions, especially about the increasing costs of living in Newtown; what qualifications and qualities Brandon Moore, the candidate for CT State Representative that appeared for the forum, brings; the candidate's ability to lead; and the ability to make difficult choices. Brandon Moore was impressive. He was on point and focused on improving the quality of life of Newtown residents. My husband and I were huge opponents to his candidacy, believing some of the things that have turned out to be untrue, but thankfully we asked a lot of questions and observed a lot behind the scenes, and Brandon Moore is a solid, knowledgeable, honest and strong candidate.
What a time to be alive! Thanks for the alert, David. I'll have to make a point to follow this issue here in Newtown, it's been something I've been following for some time on the national level. FYI- I think Canada had to put on hold their plans to reduce their mental care liabilities via state-assisted murder until 2027 because they had a hard time drumming up support. It's deeply ironic and sick that the advocates struggle to keep their momentum pushing this thru at state levels because once they find their loophole they promptly end their lives (and their advocacy). Praying this doesn't become a reality here in CT but other forces seem to be hard at work here.
The group of college students reached out to both candidates. One appeared and one did not. The DTC had plans for one not to appear and that was coordinated. I knew before anything was released to the public, of one non appearance being coordinated. Why is a forum such a concern? Why so much promotion of rumors and so many moving over toward the candidacy of Brandin Moore. Including me. The lack of transparency has to end. The manipulation of residents as well. I saw it firsthand and pulled away from the campaign. Nothing sus here just lack of information.
