ezs note:  As I've said before, although I no longer live in Plainville, I read the town's goings-on with great interest.  There are two reasons why you should vote YES on the school board's budget:

1)  the middle school is in dire need of repair,

and, 

2)  it would royally piss off a person who heads an anti-anything board.

Yeah, the last one's personal.  So what.

Earthquake hits Plainville, Connecticut!

Well, no, not literally.

But things might as well have been.  Y'see, up until early November, things were pretty happy for Republicans.  Then the earth moved.  The Democrats moved over 5-2 - a supermajority.  Things hadn't been this way  for a long, long, long time.  

Now, you may think of West Hartford as my hometown.  But up until I had my stroke, Plainville was my hometown.  I thought Plainville was gonna be a lifetime. But, y'know, things do happen.  But I do check on Plainville on occasion.  

If you are in Plainville, you might really want to check whether it's time to run for the state house or the state senate, especially if you have knowlege of local history.  Who knows?  Y'all might win!

Well, this is a change of pace.  I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece.  But  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.
