It always starts with small steps like this. Then within a year or two every cop car will be outfitted with these cameras and there will be polls put up scanning the roads continuously.

I'd also like to hear if you have a Facebook or IG page… Sounds like a great opportunity for you and for your customers. Especially if you provide education and instruction on how to use the Eversource financing opportunities!

That will happen even more now.
Kind of like when stores put up, and then eventually leave up, those "wet floor" signs. The spill was cleaned up 4 hours ago, but stores like leaving these signs up all the time as a means to cover their ass if someone falls and tries to sue them.

Dave Brubeck, John Scofield, Horace Silver, John Mayer, Deep Banana Blackout, Goose, The Breakfast, the Stepkids, Rivers Cuomo… CT lacks a lot of things, but music isnt one of them.

Reply to comment by 1234nameuser in Is paying $205 a month for car insurance good for a new driver in CT? by AdditionUsual6376
I was paying under $100 for my insurance, then moved to MA and now I'm at $250. Every time people tell me that CT drivers are worse I just point them at my bills.

The only part of this story that matters is the fentanyl and they didn't give a real weight on those 6,000 bags so this sounds like a small bust to pretend they are doing something...

If the penalty is only a fine, the law only applies to the poor.

It doesn't matter. IF they do time, it will only be a few months.

There’s a huge flock on the Easton/Fairfield border near the reservoir. At least 20-30; seen them every day for the last week or two.

I saw a lone turkey hen in my field yesterday. First and only one this year. Last several years, I've noticed there are a lot fewer turkeys around.

The less robotic policing in this world the better. I don’t see this as a good thing

I actually support this for work zones, but you know they will be on every highway before long. Once legislators see how much money comes in, they will be salivating to roll them out on every highway and state road.

Troopers can only leave the work zone for serious issues. So unless someone goes through at a high rate of speed, they won't leave.

We have a small army of them in my neighborhood.

Is that a real Luger on the bottom right, or a BB gun replica? The large knob on the butt looks strange to me. Almost like the cylinder screw knob of a BB gun.

Nothing is ever useless to resourceful people.
Journalists also have a bad habit of oversimplifying things for the layman. One would have to be a part of the process to completely understand their criteria.

Honestly, $205 isn't that bad for a new driver, even for just minimum coverage.
I have my 24yo daughter on the same policy and it is $130 a month for two drivers and two cars with full coverage and increased liability amounts.
She was paying $225 a month on her own policy.
As a new driver in her late teens/early 20's, it was closer to $250/300 for basic coverage and liability.

I'm interested in keeping up on the progress of your business. Do you have a Facebook page or anything for it?

Your story is not every person’s story. I’m glad you achieved personal success. Many haven’t the perspective or self respect to know how to change for the better and some cannot regain the power of choosing their destiny without help.

If people treated others as equals in the first place, there wouldn’t be a need for a competition for such a paltry sum.
