Congratulations, Stefan! Love seeing the two photos, Jennifer!

Ash just came home she is a little scared but she is okay! Thank you all for the good vibes that…Read More brought her home!

That's so good to hear, Kyle! Thank you for updating us and I'm glad Ash is doing ok!

Looks like Matty and Aquarion have a little pre-decision propaganda campaign going on. Shameless.

They can post all these cute award announcements on the fences they'll build around our reservoir…Read More lands--the lands you won't be able to go into anymore once this good ol' boy sale goes through!

Let's see, the Bureau of Economic Analysis rated Connecticut's economy the worst in the nation and…Read More this is the type of legislation we are to expect from and congratulate our legislators for? Nice priorities, Dave. Now that you have such a victory under your belt, what are you going to do about the economic mess we're in?

Maybe the reason we have such economic problems is that it literally takes an act of Congress to…Read More allow kids to go swim in a place where people have been swimming for 50 years. Note that the reason the beach was closed (geese) is still a problem, still causes beach closings and plane crashes, yet no one can do anything about it apparently!

These clowns find time to pass swimming legislation, legislation restricting gun rights and access…Read More to public information....but they can't pass legislation to help our state's economy, the worst in the nation. Davey and his pals have had enough fun in Hartford. It's time for a change.

While I agree with Mr. & Mrs. Fiddes' position, in order for Bethel to remedy the situation…Read More itself means that town money will have to be spent. There is quite a vocal constituency that considers raising taxes to pay for *anything* an outrage. If that group can be swayed by this issue, then perhaps we can keep Aquarion out.

If the town doesn't spend the money, the users of Aquarion water will just have to, in the form of…Read More rates that have DOUBLED already! At the meeting organized by B. Michael's group, the CEO of Aquarion admitted they expected $2 million/year profits eventually from the Bethel system. Where will this "excess" money come from? Bethel homeowners who have the misfortune to be connected to Aquarion water, that's who! It's more fair to spread the financial burden & lower the costs, and in the meanwhile protect the aquifers and people's wells. Aquarion is not the cost-free convenient savior Knickerbrocker makes them out to be.

I don't see any point where Knickerbocker said Aquarion was "cost-free". He did say that…Read More he, DPUC, and BOS felt that they could make the improvements at a "lower cost" than Bethel could.
Since Danbury wouldn't build let Bethel build the water tank on the Eureka Lake property, they had to explore other options. If Danbury had given permission to build the water tank, this wouldn't even be an issue.
