Livin' in Connecticut - Hartford

 


Hartford, CT

Well, this is a change of pace.  I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece.  But yesterday I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries.  Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance.  But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks.    And it's free!  Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same.  If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise.  If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight.  Thanks.

ezs note: Carolina Hurricanes staff- If the state House of Representatives and state Senate pass this stupid bill, would you think about coming back to Hartford and renaming the team the Hartford Whalers?  Really, we wouldn't mind.

Livin' in Connecticut!

 


Burlington, CT

ezs note:  If you live in Central Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and  Waterbury.  Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people a letter.  Thanks.

Railroad message: 

If you live outside of Connecticut, but have a friend who lives here, please tell them.  Once again, thanks.
