'The Town Has The Right To Know'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

  

"He was just trying to be friendly !" -

 

"This is not a deal you make with someone who has done wrong. The town charter requires a unanimous vote of the selectmen to remove the CFO from office with cause. This didn't happen, so clearly there is no cause. So what is the motive behind Tetreau's move? The town has the right to know. But we won't. He will hide behind the secrecy of the agreement. Hopefully voters who were duped when they elected him, will keep this in mind the next time around." -

"I guess this is good news but I don't understand why the previously quoted interest rate of 6% was nearly cut in half? In any case, pension bonding, even at 'bargain' rates, is still a very bad idea. The town needs to reduce the pension burden through union concessions, not capitulation." -

"My opinion is this: if a rescue is needed because of self inflicted stupidity- they should pay back the community. Lets use our heads. Kids will be kids, but a rescue puts everyone in danger including the rescuers. Let them pay or make the choice not to get into that situation in the first place." -  

"All is not well at the Oysterfest. Another major participant is bowing out of the food court. Ever since the Milford Oyster Festival Committee decided to claim for themselves the profit from the sale of beer, more and more NPOs have felt their effort was not worth the dollars earned. For those NPOs who sell only water and soda up on the Green, it is hard enough for them to remain price fixed by the Oysterfest Committee while food consessions operating on private church property or law firm property can set their own prices, thus undercutting the NPOs. A MEASURE OF FAIRNESS SHOULD BE RESTORED TO THIS CITY EVENT THAT BENEFITS THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. DON'T YOU AGREE?" -

"A sign? An argument over a sign. Who thinks Monroe is Rodeo Drive?" -

"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"?

It was a great job Mike and the EDC did on keeping the jobs from Cannondale from leaving Bethel. TooRead More bad Paul Z. won't have the guts to ask you about it on this "lively" show.

Billy: Since I don't own a beat up 1998 Honda (rather, a non-beat up, rather nice, rather newRead More European sedan) does that mean I would have been immune to the seduction of the reduction in my property taxes? Just trying to follow your logic here...
