  2. So the question is basically asking if we are surprised that Echo Housing is staying on mission (building housing for the homeless) and honoring law enforcement requests (not releasing their audit). Isn’t this exactly what we want them to do? I’m really confused, would we prefer they not stay on mission or not honor the law enforcement request and compromise the EPD investigation? Support Echo and the work they do for our community, prosecute the former director if guilty and let’s all move on.

    • And I understood the project was under construction before the “misuse of funds by the,Executive Director” issue was discovered. If the project had not been started that would be a different story.
      Move along now, there’s nothing to see here or get upset about.

        • But had contract/contracts been signed before the “ground scratching” had started? Most actual construction on a site doesn’t begin until sevrral weeks after a contract is signed. An Owner who decides to stop a project before site work begins may find themselves liable for many expenses associated with the project. Contractors have to purchase performance bonds, procure insurance, purchase construction materials, secure building permits, rent equipment, etc. long before thevfirst shovel turns any dirt.
          Nope, if contracts have been signed, it’s not a good idea to stop or delay a project. Such action usually results in financial liabilty to the Owner and a higher price when the project begins anew.

  3. Some Connecticut students and parents are calling for a rule change after transgender teens dominated at the high school state track and field competition.

    Terry Miller, who was born a male but identifies as a female, came in first place twice during the June 4 meet, running the 100-meter dash in 11.72 seconds and the 200-meter dash in 24.17 seconds.

    Another male-to-female transgender athlete, Andraya Yearwood, finished in second place in the 100-meter event.

  5. See that a microbrewery is going to open in the McCurdy building. Hope Kunkel pays the water bill. Hard to make beer without good old H2O.

    • Maybe they’ll use the discharge from the geothermal ground water heat pump HVAC system. Brewing beer requires a lot of water, both hot & cold, for cleaning, sterilizing, and product production (wort production, brewing, and cooling. And water, malted barley, hops, & yeast are the basic ingredients.
      Just hope they don’t dump their spent grains into sanitary sewer.

  6. “Lock her up!” “Lock her up!” – The pitiful nitwits said.

    One nitwit leader just hit the slammer. Looks like a zillion more to follow.

    Hopefully for the country’s sake, in the words of Al Bundy, “Cluck No!”
