The most-read story of the week was the "hub" article containing all updates related to last weekend's blizzard, followed by a photo gallery of the 35 inches of snow that blanketed Fairfield. The third most-read story of the week was the article on snow totals all over Connecticut, and then this week's edition of Visions for Vacancies and a Letter to the Editor regarding gun regulation.

  • Visions for Vacancies: Former Life is Good Store on the Post Road
  • Letter: Connecticut Must Set 'Gold Standard' for Gun Regulation

Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are you…Read More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town? Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?
