		<description><![CDATA[The State of Connecticut is playing at being a sort of "reverse Robin Hood" by taking money from cities that cannot afford to upgrade their wastewater treatment plants and giving it to the municipalities that have been able to afford the upgrade.  What's worse is that while I'm sure that this exchange was conceived with the best of intentions, it has become just another tax; a tax that cost the users of the Danbury wastewater treatment plant $1,108,335 in 2009, and gave Stamford $961,118.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of the American People have not been politically active until recently.  We’ve all been too busy working for a living and raising our children to spend our time on politics.  However, recent events in Washington have caused the American People to stand up and say "We're not going to take this anymore!"

		<description><![CDATA[Last years near zero budget increase caused us to reach a tipping point.  The schools are running at a bare-bones level, a decrease would adversely impact them.  The town-side of the budget can be trimmed a little bit, but the First Selctman's salary should not be cut.  In short, Bethel needs a modest increase, but one that is not as high as the Bethel Board of Finance has proposed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cost of electricity and heat affects Bethel’s budget, and it affects all of our household budgets.  Alternate energy technologies have some promise to lower our energy costs, and better ways of producing electricity through mainstream methods are becoming available.  One technology that seems very promising is the high-temperature fuel cell.]]></description>

The federal government is adding all kinds of rules and regulations that hinder our economic recovery.  Washington’s must stop erecting these roadblocks to success and should get out of the way of our nation’s recovery.]]></description>
