Is it a new Town Garage that we need? Is it a new Town Garage that we need? Drive around the Town Garage and Dump/Recycle Center and see which land site is being taken care of, the Recycle Center or the Town Garage? Remind yourself that there are only two people at the Dump Site who do not work for the town, and therefore should not necessarily have the type of attitude that would make them keep the area clean and neat. Their neatness is more likely a result of their caring and feeling that neatness is part of their job.   The Town Garage: look at the equipment left all around, look at the piles of junk left outside, look at the piles of material dumped 10 feet from the stream, look at the salt that runs into the stream, look at the care taken to the buildings, look at the total mess including the landscaping that is typical of the leadership of the Highway Department and the Town last year. As part of the Highway Department's program, the First Selectman backed the cost of buying a tractor-trailer to haul winter sand from Central Connecticut and then we would have had to pay another town employee to drive it. I thought that we had the biggest sand and gravel operation in Western Connecticut in our own town. We all know that this administration can't negotiate successfully on anything, but can't they at least do some math?!! By the way, are we the only town that uses sand that doesn't meet state specifications for winter snow work? Did we get a cheaper price for the wrong stuff? Did the taxpayers really save money or did we place the local drivers at risk last winter? Send us your comments
