Blodgett measure would centralize city tax powers
Tax Commissioner Blodgett's plan to reorganize Bridgeport taxes centralizes authority in a new Board of Apportionment that would name tax officials and run disputed matters. The bill abolishes the current board and replaces it with a governor appointed body for seven years, then gradual transition back to city control, seen as undemocratic and anti local rule. Bridgeport voters would react strongly against this overreach.

Carbon Monoxide Warning For Cold Garage Starts
A warning from the Automobile Legal Association notes that running a car in a closed garage risklessly exposes occupants to carbon monoxide. The gas has no warning, is odorless and colorless, and can kill quickly. Open doors and windows help, but the safer method is to move the car outdoors to start it when prolonged running is needed.

Brooklawn residents marshal for protest over land tax rise
Brooklawn residents plan to assemble before the Board of Relief in a protest against land value increases. The Board of Assessors found the bulk of the rise from 581,090 to 1,280,000 due to Hydraulic Co. land, while Brooklawn properties contribute only a small share. Legislative maneuvering over charter amendments and municipal mill rate changes stalls proceedings as leaders defer plans to a later meeting. Local politics feature Rep. Winklestong and Rep. Cahet with stances against and for the measure, while Sturgis’s height and voice draw remark in Hartford. The state contemplates municipal consolidations and a possible Manchester city move amid broader national invitations to Coolidge celebrations.

And answer when I eat. My thoughts are little obedient, its true. There's only one deserter who's bound to sun to your sobdiers.
