The bridge across Long Island Sound has been on the drawing board since I was a child. Mainly, environmental reasons were listed as the main reason as to why this most necessary linking of Long Island and CT couldn’t be broached. I believe that the time is right for such a project to be undertaken and today, environmental reasons are one of the main reasons why we SHOULD be moving ahead Vinny: Whats the advantage of getting to the east end of long island, it’s small cramped and a playground for the rich? Is there (and there must be) something I am missing. From a certain point east, not just the eastern tip this bridge would be a blessing for travel time not to mention the commuters who actually drive this for work or employment reasons. I also would hope that this could entice more folks to move to CT in the “country” where prices of homes and living and taxes are less than Long Island (one of the highest in the nation) and actually prompt our CT tax revenues in all areas to rise because of the influx of new residents.
This is an area that should be of great concern globally and not just locally. It transcends all parties ages, genders and is at the core of human rights at the most basic levels.
Atrocities mostly unspeakable, are being committed in the illegal trafficking of innocent women, children and destroy countless families and lives. This illegal action affects literally every part of our country and actions must be taken to combat this terrible and inhuman treatment of our fellow man.
This abhorrent practice must be stopped.
