Never had a ticket for tints, they’ve always sent me for DMV inspection requiring removal.

This also depends on how many people are going. Train works going by yourself. But if there are 4 of you, that $7 ticket turns into $28 and you would be better off driving together.

Yes and no. When government restrictions become so overbearing there is no possible compliance. Look at limerock. Track has been there forever and people are still moving next door and complaining. Nobody is going to approve a track, no matter how willing and able someone is to build it. Lawmakers should really be mandating tracks, like they have been with bikelanes. Sure, a minority use them, but it will improve the safety of everyone to have the racers in a designated area.

Statute says you can, the courts say otherwise, so there is still no point.

Mostly useless. They have to prove the registered owner was driving for either a prosecutor to be willing to prosecute or a judge to be willing to sign a warrant.

Of course. Pharmacists can dispense syringes if they choose. They chose not to.

Why don’t we worry about non-drug users first. Why can’t I get syringes for the medicine I was prescribed, while we are setting out tables for drug abusers. Both my wife and I have had issues where we are given our medicine, but not the syringe to take the medicine.

How long were you staring at the storm drain? The police involvement is limited to notifying DEEP. If/how/when DEEP responds is up to them. It’s usually not immediate.

Reply to CT Paid Paternal Family Leave by Sum_Mo
I’m not sure if this would work, but it’s worth investigating: you can take parental bonding time within the first year of birth, it doesn’t have to start at the birth. If you wait 6 months, you will have been there over 1 year and may be covered by FMLA.

Reply to Local banks as a mortgage lender? by reptile_enthusiast_
My first mortgage was through McCue mortgage, which is local out of new britain. I have no complaints, over ten years and they never sold my loan were easy to deal with. My only frustration was their lack of technology/online access, but that has likely changed a bit since I used them.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Does CT need 169 municipalities? Some say merging makes sense by NicoleMcIsaac
Those towns can already combine services if they choose to. For example the Tyler Regional Animal Care Shelter, which was agreed to by Manchester, south Windsor and east Hartford. I think what’s being forgotten is that where you live is a choice. If you want big town services, move to a big town. Stop forcing every town to be like every other town. Towns with no officers can already purchase services from the state police via the resident trooper program.

I’m saying it’s quite the opposite. Cities have massive mill rates and high taxes. Generally, the smaller the town the lower the taxes. Towns can adapt to their residents much more efficiently. My rural house cost half the amount of taxes of my urban house. It’s the city government that are larger that are inefficient. And once again, you are ignoring quality of services. If I have an issue, I can speak directly to my town manager. I can call a department and speak to a live person, not a phone tree. Good luck speaking directly to a mayor of a city and getting anything done. If I call police, they show up within 5 minutes. When I was in a city, i had it take as long as 5 hours.

You are looking at it from a overall financial perspective, which is irrelevant to most people. Quality of services is vastly superior in small towns, because those services have to answer directly to a small entity. 169 micro governments don’t need to agree, because they have their own services and can make decisions for themselves.

It’s not optimizing. As government gets bigger, it gets worse, with few exception. Bring your concerns to any city entity and see how you are treated compared to any small town. Services received are almost always worse.

No. It benefits literally no one. Some idiots think combining west Hartford sand Hartford will make Hartford better. It won’t. It never will. In every scenario, you are destroying the “good” for a negligible affect on the bad.

Makes sense. CT has a massive pet shortage. Most shelters are empty/have very quick turn around with exception to animals that are problematic that they probably just shouldn’t be adopted out.

Reply to comment by AdHistorical7107 in here's a question regarding gun control by AdHistorical7107
I don’t think a pistol permit should be required. That’s like requiring a permit to speak. It’s a right. You have it until you lose it and I consider it a violation of the 2nd and 4th amendment for the government to have such restrictions. Furthermore, you don’t need a permit to have a gun. You only need one to buy a gun in CT.
