The correct statement, for both Southington and this town is more like: <BR/><BR/>“ it needs to be done for local special interests like developers and realtors trying to attract out of town home buyers with great schools and wonderful football fields and groups of local contractors who might be hired to work on the installation and maintenance.” <BR/><BR/>Existing local tax payers, well too bad, someone needs to pay the bills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-13928582510850035442008-10-02T07:37:00.000-04:002008-10-02T07:37:00.000-04:00"It needs to be done for the Youth of the town". H..."It needs to be done for the Youth of the town". He should think a little more about the youth. By the way, did he attend the same conference that our AD attended?

Still has to be cheaper.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Fontana (you can interchange names with Altieri, Ecke or Trifone) needs to re-look at his priorites and should not use the word "emergency" when talking about a field!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
