Our state legislators

While reading this week's Herald article on the Maguire Mess & Fritz Fiasco, I noticed this at the end of the article:

Town Manager Michael Milone said he is hoping to receive reimbursement from the state for the extra police coverage the town provided during the project. A claim was made to the insurance company to reimburse the town $130,000. Currently, the town will receive all but $20,000. Milone is hoping the town will receive that additional money.

I don't want the town's taxpayers to have to foot the bill for the state's problem. And I'm also keenly interested in learning what our legislators intend to do about the fiasco. So maybe the Council should invite our legislators to the next Council meeting for a discussion on those topics. What do you think?

By the way, if you haven't seen the actual suit brought forth by AG Blumenthal, here's a link. Included in the text:

The actions of all the defendants were egregious, unfair, immoral and unethical and have damaged the State and its taxpayers beyond money damages.

Among the defendants is William Fritz, son of Cheshire's state Rep. Mary Fritz.
