Letter: Local officials stand up for your zoning rights

To the Editors:
Last week, the Planning and Development Committee advanced two bills that would completely upend the ability of Shelton and other towns to manage their local zoning. Unsurprisingly, it was decided along party lines with all 17 Democrats on the committee voting in favor of removing public input and accountability from town land use and development decisions.
I applaud the Shelton Board of Aldermen and Shelton P&Z Chair Virginia Harger for speaking out against these bills. Allowing Hartford to mismanage local zoning the same way they have mismanaged the state s finances would only end in disaster. As a legislature, we should reject any proposals that would take these decisions away from voters and put them in the hands of unelected Hartford bureaucrats.

A view of the Meetup Spot sign placed in the parking lot of the Orange Police Department . With the holiday season already upon us, many people will look to websites like OfferUp, Craigslist, LetGo, or Facebook to buy/sell things. This offers sellers and buyers a safe spot to meet and do their business without fear of being robbed or scammed.
Several police departments have designated safe meeting areas for those wary of meeting up with buyers and sellers of online items.
And they’re full of cops.

HARTFORD A 3-year-old boy was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in the city’s north end Saturday afternoon, hours before a second shooting took the life of a 17-year-old in a bloody afternoon in the state’s capitol city.
Police say so far they do not believe the two incidents are connected. City leaders expressed grief and outrage at the violence during a press conference later that afternoon, and pleaded for witnesses to cooperate with investigators.
“Our whole city’s heart breaks for this child and for his family,” Mayor Luke Bronin said during a press conference that evening. “This is a crime that wounds a community, and we are grieving with the family of this little boy.”
