New Canaan Eye on the Beltway: Lieberman on Postal Reform

And, Himes tweets about D-Day anniversary.

 

LIEBERMAN: The senator, along with Sens. Susan Collins, Tom Carper and Scott Brown, submitted an op-ed letter to Politico urging the House to pass the Senate-approved U.S. postal reform bill.

The Postal Service loses almost $25 million each day," the senators wrote. "Comprehensive postal reform legislation is needed now. But that can’t happen "without action by the House. We’ve urged the House to act promptly — so we can come together, reconcile the differences between our bills and ensure reforms are passed this year."

HIMES: The congressman posted a Tweet on Wednesday about the the 68th anniversary of D-Day:

"This anniversary of D Day landings is another chance to thank a #veteran and reflect on one of America's most astonishing feat of arms."

DELAURO: The congressman called the unanimous rejection of the Paycheck Fairness bill by Senate Republicans "shameful," according to the Connecticut Mirror.

MURPHY: The congressman and Republican are the clear front runners for their parties' endorsements to seek election to Connecticut's open U.S. Senate seat this fall, . Murphy has a 30 percentage-point lead over his rival Susan Bysiewicz.

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
