Brookfield Eye on the Beltway: Lieberman on Postal Reform

And, Himes tweets about D-Day anniversary.

 

LIEBERMAN: The senator, along with Sens. Susan Collins, Tom Carper and Scott Brown, submitted an op-ed letter to Politico urging the House to pass the Senate-approved U.S. postal reform bill.

The Postal Service loses almost $25 million each day," the senators wrote. "Comprehensive postal reform legislation is needed now. But that can’t happen "without action by the House. We’ve urged the House to act promptly — so we can come together, reconcile the differences between our bills and ensure reforms are passed this year."

HIMES: The congressman posted a Tweet on Wednesday about the 68th anniversary of D-Day:

"This anniversary of D Day landings is another chance to thank a #veteran and reflect on one of America's most astonishing feat of arms."

DELAURO: The congressman called the unanimous rejection of the Paycheck Fairness bill by Senate Republicans "shameful," according to the Connecticut Mirror.

MURPHY: The congressman and Republican are the clear front runners for their parties' endorsements to seek election to Connecticut's open U.S. Senate seat this fall, . Murphy has a 30 percentage-point lead over his rival Susan Bysiewicz.

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.
