Gas Prices Drop 4 Cents in a Week

The average price per gallon in Connecticut began to decline but still remains well over $4.

Connecticut gas prices dropped from $4.14 to $4.10 in a week, according to price tracking website ConnecticutGasPrices.com. The current national average is $3.81 per gallon. 

“The national average has begun to drop nicely over the last week, and while it certainly doesn't feel like much, it is noteworthy,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior analyst at GasBuddy.com, the parent company of ConnecticutGasPrices.com.

He added, “Oil prices were all over the map last week, closing in on $100/bbl one day and dropping to $92/bbl later in the week. I've probably had more double takes watching oil prices in the last week than I've had all summer.”

"Bethel teachers are not only educating students, but when society lets kids down, it’sRead More teachers who step in to fill the gap." Explain to me how an average salary of $60,000 per year for working 183 days during that year and an EXTREMELY generous retirement package (compared to the 240 a year the rest of us have to work) considered "society letting them down"?

The inability of the Board of Selectmen to address this public safety issue is beyond comprehension - especially in light of the clear ease of scientific evidence with simply testing and remediation.
