Here I Am, Chris....


As I mentioned only briefly, I was forced to step away from this blog by an all-encompassing personal responsibility which has recently come to a close. That's all that need be said.

Having said that, I set out to write without anything to say. I, personally, was pleased that the healthcare passed, but I am one of the people who felt that it did not go far enough. I'd very much have liked to believe that a public option would have created vigorous competition for the private insurance companies who have enjoyed monopoly for too long. I would not have opposed allowing private insurance to sell across state lines in addition to that, but not in exclusion.

I agree with some mostly conservative voices I've heard around and about town that have questioned the air quality issue at the high school. If there were an objective problem, would not more people be affected?

I am hoping that the budget passes and I am less than cautiously optimistic about that.

I, like many of you (my meager or non-existent audience), want North Haven to remain a great place to live, not merely an affordable one.
