Did you know?

Writing with out knowing you are being read is a drag, but I promised msyelf to do it" just in case" some one one day shows an interest.
Today's Topic - The sewage treatment plant is close to earning a Million dollars in nitrogen credits this year - what is going to happen with that money? Will it reduce our "Water use tax"?
I hate the way the treatment plant set itself up, but it really is no different than the water co., which many municipalities run themselves also (not in CT) and we all allowed it in a charter change a few years ago.

illegals and housing

Saw today that the Day workers got a party. Now before igot any further being and Day worker does NOT make you an illegal. I saw enough on the blogs to know that hte general flavor among the blogger's in Stamford at least is fairly positive. They fill a nitch that no one will fill an there are a lot of immigrants for a lot of countries. Now to the point, everyone knows rents are outrageos and so to save money housing is really full. I mean there are 3 maybe 4 gfuys to a room, or a whole family to a room. Then there are the housing ordinances, which specify how much space a person needs in a room. Who is there to enforce these ordinances? There was a task force that was composed of health, fire, police and social workers, but I think that is cut out because of budget cuts. How many times have you seen cutains in a cellar (one with no access 'cept through the house)? Or actually seen people living in one? I have countless times. I just think, a fire in the house would kill them, but to provide enforcement of these ordinaces, we need to have a budget that will support overtime and that means I have to pay more taxes, which basically support the quality of life of these lower income people. I am in a quandry.
