How New Britain reacted to the storm was not the problem; other entities such as CLP were slow to get to work. It wasn't a problem only in NB but all over the state. Members of my family (3 households) were without power as little as 5 to as many as 7 and a half days. There was nothing NB could have done about that. We don't have a department that restores power.

I have an acquaintance who works at CLP; he told me that CLP knew within minutes where all the outages were as they occurred. How about the family whose appliances were "fried" - not in NB - because an out of state power company ran a 220 line into their home. That town had nothing to do with the error.

People in my neighborhood lost power just after 1 P.M. on 10/29. All my neighbors that I talked with reported the outage to CLP, the correct thing to do.

C'mon Dave, do something useful.; January 27, 2012 at 2:11 PM

However, I doubt these radicals will admit the truth.; January 27, 2012 at 2:33 PM

DeFronzo, and his father, having been dependent on the public trough their entire lives, will never comprehend this concept no matter how many letters they manage to add to their names.; January 27, 2012 at 3:21 PM

If it wasn't Stewart's fault, then it would have to have been George Bush's!; January 27, 2012 at 3:50 PM
