I found that I could turn them off in my profile under e-mail settings. However, it appears thatRead More this is now an all or nothing rather than by selected posts or individual articles.

Hi Steve, The comment stream doesn't appear on the homepage in the new design. Some of the sitesRead More that went 2.0 before mine did heard complaints about that. I don't know if it will be changed or not. Right now Patch is gathering all feedback.

Perhaps a unique ID sent out yearly with you tax bill or something like that? Or I think what mightRead More be better is rather than crossing off names manually on a sheet of paper when you go to vote, they should use a computer system. This would allow you to travel to the closest polling place (Not across town as is the case with me.)
Christine E. May 3, 2013 at 03:36 am
They don't ask you for ID to fill out an absentee! No difference, IMO.
QWERTY May 3, 2013 at 12:57 am
That's why I stated, "two MAIN groups of VOTERS": 1. Parent's who always vote YES - theyRead More want as much $$$ for education as possible. 2. People who always vote NO, regardless of budget - they don't want to pay more in taxes. These groups have an obvious reason to vote. After that, it starts to get fragmented. I really haven't seen much literature from the "Parents who don't want more taxes" group.

@John, never said we should freeze spending till everyone can afford it, no need to be a dramaRead More queen. And it is none of your business what I have done for others. But what I have not done, is belittle those that can't afford a tax increase and pretend I am better than them.

No one's expecting anything different! Monroe benefits from wealthier resident, not poorer ones!Read More That's the hard and rash truth. I'm not saying it's right or honest! It's to the town's benefit to price people out of their homes as disgusting as that may sound.
QWERTY April 23, 2013 at 07:18 pm
Being unemployed is also finite, that's why it's a good idea to create a 12 month householdRead More emergency fund. No one forces someone to purchase a home without this emergency fund.
Alex April 21, 2013 at 11:00 pm
I'll vote yes when its at a 3.5% mill rate increase. That's a decent tax increase in this economy.Read More It's tough working $20-$40 increases per month into your personal budget each year on top of everything else that increases in price.
Fed Up April 21, 2013 at 09:11 pm
No more tax increases. Read our lips.
michael massao April 20, 2013 at 02:47 pm
The budget is a fair one, and the quality of our schools and town services depend upon it. There isRead More never a good time for a mill rate increase, but it is well worth the investment in our home values, community, and kid's education. Please vote Yes on Tuesday.
Crown Royal April 26, 2013 at 07:34 pm
David, This is already approved.
David Wilgan April 26, 2013 at 07:29 pm
My understanding is the contract for 10 years. First, I don't trust any corporation, period; letRead More alone for 10 years. What if Honeywell goes bankrupt? is this project bonded by Honeywell to insure completion? And to those how say Honeywell will never go under, need I mention Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns and the plethora of banks, investment companies and auto manufacturers that required bailouts to remain afloat. Moreover, what is the savings based upon? Again, my understanding is the savings are based on the current natural gas price versus oil; and Honeywell will guarantee to offset any shortfall in savings if the price increases. Is there an aggregate maximum of shortfall payout, or is Honeywell's exposure unlimited? Also, if this is such a great deal, why is the town being charged 1.45% interest on a municipal lease? Why not zero percent; let's negotiate harder. Furthermore, why is the town borrowing the $ from CLP @ 0% interest? CLP should make the total $400,000 a direct grant for their inferior service and overpriced utility rates. I'm tired of subsidizing large dividends and massive executive payouts to screw ups. The contract can be written for 10 years, provided Honeywell bonds the project, the contract is conditionally renewable by the town each year based upon the realized savings and subject to renegotiation; CLP grants the $ up front and 0% is charged on the lease. Tell Honeywell to stick the door locks, I prefer bonding the project.
michael massao April 20, 2013 at 02:40 pm
The Honeywell contract is the absolute right thing to do. It is critical to get out on Tuesday andRead More vote yes.
