'Protecting the Environment at What Cost is a Better Question'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Patch Readers:

"I'm more concerned with how my elected representatives respond to individual issues concerning the environment. Protecting the environment at what cost is a better question. Acting in the best interests of their constituents and not in special interest groups is what I expect of my elected representatives. When that can be accomplished where constituents and the environment come out on top is a win-win." —

From Neighboring Patch Towns:

"Anyone to whom this is news? Anyone?" -

"When we come across a person who judges people by their gender, race, or sexual orientation, we are so quick to label them a sexist, racist or homophobe. People judge dogs by how they look and they create laws supporting this." -

"I would think that given Derby's education difficulties, the money would be better spent on educating their children. Derby and Shelton should pool their resources and share the expense and use the 'extra' money on something more valuable." -

"Remove it asap!! He's a disgrace, the board at Penn Station is a disgrace, in fact the entire school is a disgrace! I stated it before when it was a hot topic here; no way anyone involved with the program did not know what was going on - Common Sense! They are all crminals for allowing this man to continue to use the facilities, the program, and name of Penn Station to bring in these young boys." -

"Agan as I've said in the past the MFAC is a pathetic bunch of loser ignorant snobs that if something doesn't fit their definition of Fine Arts will not support it. There is no need for them in Milford anyways. Get rid of MFAC" -

"The Ten Commandments are a pretty good guide. Our secular laws were based on them to some extent." -

"In 2012 we are cited as having the 44th worst economy as far as growing businesses, yet in 2011 we were sited as having the 9th fastest growing economy. Interesting. How do we reconcile this, for it seems to be contradictory. Are we a financial powerhouse, or are we in deep trouble?" -

"Is the town just waiting for another lawsuit to be filed before they act? Let's fix this problem. Yes, the new beach concession stand is lovely, but being able to drive down Route 1 during a rainstorm is important (same for Noroton Heights)." -

Oh dont you worry, were gonna vote, but not going to vote to increase taxes thats for sure. Do withRead More what you have.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.

The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

I will lend a hand by voting yes for the school budget this Tuesday, May 21st. Teachers should notRead More have to pay out of pocket for school supplies.

Interesting that representative Scribner fails to represent Brookfield's businesses choosing insteadRead More to focus on Ridgefields.
