I-84 mess; Defronzo bats cleanup
Probably since last fall I've been publicly wondering why the Legislature's Transportation Committee hadn't been performing oversight of the DOT and the Fritz Fiasco/Maguire Mess/Defelice Debacle. Anyway... state Senator Don Defronzo (D-New Britain) has finally begun hearings (WRA, by Michael Puffer). And while they're long overdue... I'm glad they're happening... they should be worthwhile... because people still need to be held to account.
And since this is a serious public safety issue for Cheshire residents... I wonder if Cheshire will be having public hearings and asking people to explain themselves? Couldn't hurt. I certainly would be interested to hear from William Fritz, son of Cheshire's state Rep. Mary Fritz, about why he felt it was OK to act as the lead inspector on the job... even though he didn't have his NICET qualification.

This is simply a ploy to get the state to add staffing at DOT. I'm sure DOT had fewer employees when they built the interstates in the 1960's...and they were built well...but I'm also sure they had a higher percentage of engineers and hardly any PR and community outreach staff
Rell ought to ask if trying to make DOT a "new agey" touchy feely enterprise is part of the problem already

You are obsessed with this thing and you are acting like this is some sort of Watergate on the highway
And be careful who you point fingers at
"be careful who you point fingers at"
What do you mean?
