Any time I see "Concerned Taxpayers of .... " I want to vomit. Our local collection of chuckle heads lost a $250,000 grant for a new high school baseball stadium... and then when the funds dried up largely because of their idiocy they were all up in arms that the money 'disappeared.' Our high school team plays it's games about 7 miles away from the high school at what amounts to a little league field. They were going to build the new stadium in a park the town already owns right across the street from the high school.
I love how these morons can actually believe that we are both the richest country on earth, and that we don't have the money to pay for ANYTHING... at the same time. Our local idiots have really hurt the school district over the last decade. We've had a population boom, but we haven't been able to build new schools, or expand existing ones. Meanwhile they had to close down two of them because of major issues with the buildings. Woo hoo!
I'm moving now largely because the schools have gotten A LOT worse.
Sounds like just about every other town I have heard of in CT, except for the major university thing.
