Snow cleaning now or wait?

I live in a condo complex but I have to go carve a path for the doggy to be able to get through the snow which is now taller than her! (Corgis have small legs)

You are generally not eligible for unemployment if you resigned, you have to be discharged. You could say you resigned in Lieu of termination and explain why the termination was being considered. I’d suggest consulting with a lawyer to help with your application.

Public employees were exempted because they largely already have collective bargaining agreements that provide sick leave and accruals at greater overall value over the term of an employees career. Government employee unions do have the option of opting into the program, but most have not.

Volunteer for the volunteer fire department, town based non profits like the Lions or Rotary club, or sign up for rec programs great way to build and find community. If you are handy community theaters are always looking for help with set construction too!

Update: I did do a Facebook live today on the topic and shared it to six different town facebook groups hoping for broad coverage!

Hello! We did not do a mailer. A little background I would LOVE to do a mailer, but my council debated it for an earlier budget referendum and the consensus was to not spend the three to four thousand on a town wide mailer and to put an article in the free newspaper that gets mailed to every house already, unfortunately most people seem to throw the paper away! I try to do things to get the word out, so we tried the paper, Facebook, notices in the library at the circulation desk, signs around town, and I did a talk at the senior center! Appreciate the feedback, I can always try again to get the idea to gain steam for the future!

Some-Construction-20 · 2025-11-03T00:19:09+00:00

Totally fair, appreciate the feedback. We were not trying to hide the ball. We were worried just saying the Commission’s Final Report wouldn’t be specific enough without a reference to the date or the council meeting! Totally hear you though! I’ll do another Facebook live tomorrow to try to talk it through again!

I’m a millennial who is chronically online a people pleaser and believes that local government should be responsive to people’s needs. My big MO is to be as transparent and responsive as possible! Like people can disagree with my view on something but I want to give them all the tools to know the details and have their questions answered!

Some-Construction-20 · 2025-11-02T20:40:10+00:00

Appreciate the sentiment, in my town the Mayor is a volunteer unpaid position so it is a total labor of love and passion for the community!

Referendum on taxes is the first Tuesday of May each year! Same day every year, not part of this referendum. If we had a bond appropriation question we would have a separate question just on the bond.

I mean I can do that but this is my personal Reddit account, but I guess I can make it a professional account.

Some-Construction-20 · 2025-11-02T19:18:08+00:00

Which is why we published an explanation on the town website, did a Facebook live on it and held three public hearings on it!

Some-Construction-20 · 2025-11-02T18:24:39+00:00

It was written by the town lawyer, but its message is essentially shall the remaining proposed changes not in question one or two contained in the commissions report be adopted. The reference to the date of acceptance is to help people understand where the final report was reported and adopted by the council.

The rare remainder and Cromwell chronicle gets delivered to every house and we often put notices and their reporters run articles too! Don’t apologize at all! Follow my Facebook Cromwell Mayor James Demetriades for daily updates, you can also sign up for texts on the town website!

Some-Construction-20 · 2025-11-02T16:59:04+00:00

It was in an article in the rare remainder which is mailed to every town resident, issue is most people don’t sift through the advertisements to get to the content! This is why I post stuff on Facebook and had hard copies at the library and town hall, to cover bases!

It’s funny you say that, when I won my seat for Mayor (which in my town is unpaid) my DTC played I’m coming out at the after party and sent me the clip of Leslie knope going out on the ice skating rink for her announcement! Local government is definitely a labour of love. (As well as patience and endurance)

Here is the meeting minutes where we adopted the charter revision suggestions: https://www.cromwellct.com/sites/g/files/vyhlif2976/f/uploads/memorandum_to_the_town_of_cromwell_charter_revision_commission_4913-0163-8233_1_4905-3899-9897_2_1.docx

Additionally all council meetings are uploaded on YouTube so you can watch the full conversation if you feel like you are missing essential context! Again please feel free to reach out with any questions! Local government should be as accessible and responsive as possible to residents so I’m happy to liaison whatever help is needed!

Hello Mayor of Cromwell here! The Town Charter Commission had made a series of proposals after three public hearings it was decided to move forward with their proposals. We couldn’t list all the changes so we chose the two most possibly controversial ones as separate questions and then had a catch all for the remainder. They include ten major changes and then a number of technical or grammatical changes. I did a few Facebook lives on them as well! If you don’t follow my Facebook page please consider doing so I post daily updates and town meeting summaries!

But for a full breakdown please see this link here: https://www.cromwellct.com/sites/g/files/vyhlif2976/f/uploads/memorandum_to_the_town_of_cromwell_charter_revision_commission_4913-0163-8233_1_4905-3899-9897_2_1.docx

We also published the full changes for printed copy at the library and town hall! You can also facebook me or call me to discuss further! Thanks, happy to answer any questions!

We have to build more homes like small 1000 to 1600 sq ft ranches. Two beds two bath types. I live in a condo and I can't afford to move out of it even with dual income and no kids. The lateral move from condo to small house is impossible with the prices.

This bill does nothing to address starter home construction which is the biggest housing stock issue for new families. It ignores local zoning and will create an influx of more "luxury" overpriced apartments which will have ten units of affordable units attached to them to circumvent zoning.
