They will have plead not guilty and get their court to dismiss it. As it’s fully automated they will be issued the ticket.

Don’t care. It’s wrong and will be abused by the government to raise money. We could save thousands of lives by banning cars but we still drive.

At this point if you are unaware of this fact your not attached to reality.

No one said anything about taking away state parks. The state owns a staggering amount of unused land including old abandoned buildings and raw land.

Most people do not have an issue with providing more affordable housing. There is plenty of space available to build or convert housing in areas that can support this type of housing.

Building out in small towns is just idiotic. Lower income people are best located in areas where you don’t need a car and closer to services and agencies they would likely need such as medical care. To be cost effective they are also likely going to be high density housing such as apartments and high rises.

Why is there not enough then? For a developer there is just not enough money in it. Lots of red tape and as a developer you want to build something you can likely sell at a later date.

To me it makes the most sense for the government to hire a builder to construct the housing on land already owned by the state. So the land is free. Then to hire a private property management company to run it. In the end this should not cost much if anything for taxpayers.

We don’t see this as our politicians are really only interested in talk and not into problem solving. They just like to point fingers.

Yes the cops know as it’s listed on the registration and every vehicle is issued two plates with very few exceptions. Motorcycles the most obvious.

Enforcement is erratic for sure.

Every few years city politicians bring this up. They have ruined and drained their tax base and pushed the middle class to the suburbs. They want to expand and spread their mismanagement far and wide. Luckily anyone with a brain can see how this will end up. Our towns routinely share equipment and services as they see fit. This idea will luckily never happen.

For the 3rd time you are 100% wrong. Age of consent in ct is 16. Once 16 you are legal. Pointing this out to you is not an endorsement or approval of a relationship with a 16yo.

Anyone who commits any crime of violence is potentially a danger. It needs to be addressed and that person rehabilitated just like any other crime. There are many crimes classified as sex crimes that have zero violence. The classic fear of the stranger abduction/rape is actually the most rare sex crime. For those people I do favor stiff prison sentences.

Ahh. The trust me I know a guy who told me. Great source for your data. Brilliant.

Doubling down on your ignorance again I see. Age of consent in CT is 16 not 18. Plus the name calling.

Maybe it is so surprising because they are just everyday folks living their lives and not bothering anyone. If they actually were that dangerous you would be hearing more.

Everything you just said is false. People convicted of sex crimes have the lowest rates of recidivism. It is around 5% based on hundreds of studies. You are just repeating a false narrative that has been debunked decades ago. The most common sex offense is statutory where both parties have a consensual relationship but are off by a few years. The age of consent varies by state as well. So a 16yo and a 25 yo have sex in ct it is not a crime and the 25 yo is not a sex offender. While those same people do that is several other states the 25 yo is subjected to years in prison a be labeled a sex offender. Why do you want that person in prison for life? In a few states if you are arrested for public urination you are labeled a sex offender and put on the registry. You want that guy in prison for life?

There is a huge problem with computer porn addiction where many end up viewing or downloading child pornography. If caught they are considered sex offenders. Should they be locked up for life.

All this while the vast majority 95% are never convicted of any new sex offense. They are reformed like many others.

All this at a cost on average of $50,000 per year per inmate. Society suffers far more when you tie up that amount of tax money when it is not needed.

Technically it is in fact illegal. The dmv did issue the newer reflective plates and required those to be used. The old ones were to be returned or destroyed at that time.

Do the police care? Luckily not much. The old plate still matches the vehicle and there is a little respect if it is on an older vehicle.

This is actually a good plan.

Ohh I know. Let’s burn the trash and creat energy. We need power and we need a place to put our trash. Has anyone thought of this? Ohh wait. Never mind.

It already was changed!

Don’t look at the price but at your electric usage for an accurate comparison as electric rates just increased for most. As others have said electric heat can easily be responsible.

How pissed off are those employees. Going from one high cost/tax state to an even worse state. You could have literally picked any other state and you move me to Jersey!!

This is no solution and just a stunt as they really have no solutions they are willing to support. Take a power related mandatory expense. Take it out of the power bill where only power customer’s pay for it and put it in the state budget where everyone pays for it.

I can’t believe this is a serious proposal.

I appreciate your response and clarification.

The police always do a full investigation for any fatal or serious injury accident. Much more thorough than your typical accident. They have special accident reconstruction investigators. There is much at stake and usually million dollar lawsuits.

Sure. Even though You called me stupid I will be happy to elaborate. First thing is we all know all accidents and deaths will never be eliminated. No matter what you do there will be fatal accidents in the future. So to promise you are going to end them is a politically motivated lie. I will guarantee West Hartford will continue to have fatal accidents as every other populated city will.

When there is a fatal accident the police do a thorough investigation and fault and contributing factors are brought to light for each incident. Any defect or contributing factors are brought to the attention of whoever maintains the road. (State or municipality). They normally aggregate this information and remedy deficiencies as needed. It is wise for the town to do this and prioritize any solutions that could prevent further accidents. I mean they should be always doing this but nothing wrong with a fresh look.

It’s not like all of these recent accidents occurred at the same spot or due to a recent change in the area. It is more likely going to be chalked up as S**t happens. Or an unusual coincidence to have a cluster of bad accidents in such a short span. I mean I consider an accident where someone is killed as a bad accident. But somehow that was rude. Was it a good one then?

Back the the headline. “West Hartford pledges to eliminate roadway deaths”. It’s a lie.

More lies for headlines. Out of the blue they have a few bad accidents and think they can Magically make them disappear. Yes you can look for deficiencies and address those which will help. You can never eliminate them.

So you want schools to waste their time to deal with a one in a million comment in a middle school? Good grief. If you were truly offended by the comment from a child you need therapy.
