You aren't forced to pay taxes any more than you are forced to pay rent.

If you don't want to pay then, don't live there.

You are arguing for the effective abolishment of libraries. You are arguing to force people to pay for something they don't have to pay for already.

All you libertarians are housecats.

You aren't forced. You are free to leave the country at any time.

You are trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist. Libraries are a good thing, and the only people that think otherwise are people that don't like an educated populace, or people that don't like people getting for free something that they could be making money off of.

Stop trying to privatize everything.

Doing that would defeat the purpose of a library.

A privately-owned library with market-driven products is called a bookstore.

Are they denying anything that happened in the past?

Or are they, rightly, changing their methods and facilities in order to try a less abusive, more successful form of rehabilitation?

How about having literally any standards during the hiring process and actually, truly firing and blacking the ones who offend.

Democrats will hold them accountable.

Republicans would elevate and protect them.

The democrats aren't focusing all of their energy on gay kids.

It's just the story that is getting the most media exposure right now: Republicans persecuting gay and trans people, and Democrats doing the right thing and protecting them.

Eliminate the position.

Allow the state to capture Eversource and run it as a state utility. For the good of the people of Connecticut rather than the windfall of the shareholders.
