I got an offer for raffle tickets... the CHS band is selling 800 tickets for $100 each. The prize? A 2008 beemer Z4. Very nice. If you're interested, email gstmartin3atcoxdotnet. (Btw, if you're curious about why I "wrote out" the email address, it's because there are programs that scan the web for email addresses... so it helps to cut down on junk mail.)There's a GOP Presidential debate coming up tomorrow night. I understand Fred Thompson will be getting into the race the following day, but will be kicking off his campaign with a commercial being aired during tomorrow's debate. I'm still curious to see if Newt jumps in the race. Besides Newt, my feeling is that Huckabee is the best speaker/presenter... and that means something to me as a voter. That's also one of the things that I like about Barack.
Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering if he will resign (Courant).
Anybody know what happened at the Inland Wetlands meeting tonight?

Last, but not least, word is that Diane Visconti has dropped out of the race for personal reasons and no one will replace her on the ballot.

Let's hope no Cheshire candidate does the "stall to stall" campaign Craig is planning
ReplyDeleteGood to see Visconti go. Hope people bug her to no end for her support of the Northend Sprawl.
ReplyDeleteDiane knew she would not win running at large. There isn't a senior in this town who would vote for her. She always voted against seniors but being the only councilor to vote against an increase in the limits this year was a dagger in the heart. There were many young families who thought that was wrong as well.
ReplyDeleteThere are also many families who don't like subsidizing other people's inheritances.
ReplyDeleteThe additional increases in the senior property tax relief came out to be less than $7 a year per family. I don't know about you but that isn't going to make anyone rich.
ReplyDeleteNo tears will be shed with the loss of Visconti.
ReplyDeleteANon 9:19 It's not a "subsidizing". It's an "investment". Think about it.
