‘That Must Have Stunk Big Time’

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

Stop Hating Public Sector Workers 

“Public workers are demonized way too much and most of it has to do with jealously. You always hear those against public employees cry that these benefits aren't available to private sector workers and that is true in a lot of cases, but not all. The main reason why private sector workers don't get these type of perks is due to the fact that they don't demand them.” -

“There's a high cost to low prices.” -

Man... that must have stunk big time. And I don’t mean stunk as in smelled bad. What a nice car it was.” – 

DeStefano: Woodin Street Fence Stays

“This meeting was a testament to how strong the voice of the people is when a community sticks together and fights for what they believe in. This meeting is a clear message to all communities, in every city, in every state, that THE PEOPLE are in charge NOT the governing officials!” – Bill Murray 

Maple Hill Rolls Out the Red Carpet for Students 

“Fantastic beginning to the school year, my hat is off to the administrators and teachers who continue the tradition. I am sorry I was not able to attend. I will definitely have my sequins ready for next year.” –

Stratford Hit-and-Run Suspect Pleads Not Guilty

Leaving the scene of an accident is wrong, no matter where you are from. She did the right thing by coming forward, most hit-and-run never do and are caught out of sheer luck so at least she has that in her favor.” –

Report: Connecticut Recession Worse Than Expected

“And yet my vote against the president who put his agenda for his legacy above the needs of the unemployed will be for nothing. He takes the state by default and for granted. What a shame.” –

This article seems to be nothing more than an anonymous and free infomercial for Staples.Read More "J" posted this same spam "article" on Patch sites in many towns, just changing the name of the town to match the Patch site. That seems to be the spirit of Staples, free-loading in every way they can. Even this "teacher program" has nothing to do with eliminating the need for teachers to spend their own money on school supplies --it is simply a way for that retailer to take advantage of the situation by attracting the lucrative teacher market. Staples should change their name to MADE IN CHINA OFFICE SUPPLIES, as virtually nothing they sell is manufactured in our country.

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically toRead More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!
