This happened to my partner. He also experienced the multiple day callback nonsense, and getting the callback only to be immediately put on hold for an extended period of time. But by far the scariest thing was finding out someone used his info for fraudulent claims. He managed to get it sorted over the phone, but it took a week or two

The frustrating thing is I usually consider myself informed! This question was a surprise to me like the day before election day and honestly, I probably should have just not filled that one in, knowing I didn't have enough info. I find it fairly difficult to find good info on local referendums though (which is probably also by design in this town...)

Honestly, that question was so poorly worded and probably on purpose. Thanks for the links

It’s weird that the “yes” signs had the love your library slogan on them, and unlike others I saw them next to all sorts of other political signs. I feel like I voted the wrong way now, and I’m pissed they worded that question the way they did

Oh dammit, the library measure didn’t pass? I was so focused on finding out if Poulos won in the recount I forgot to check the other ballot measure outcomes.

At least the state passed early voting!

edit: I realize after discussion that passing in this case is the undesired outcome if we want the library to be run/managed by the library staff.

Reply to comment by Porcupine224 in Here's a map of former, major stagecoach routes and major inter-town highways in CT. The map is not exhaustive, but it shows CT before many "newer" towns were formed/incorporated and gives a good sense for how development was prioritized. by CTHistory42

I’m not sure if it’s just a quirk of whoever labeled this but Middle Town makes me kinda giggle. “Oh, here’s a town in the middle…what a great name!”
