Connecticut Trees of Honor Memorial, Inc. is pleased to announce plans to construct a living trees memorial in Veterans' Memorial Park in Middletown,CT.

The 63 heroes who gave their life serving in Iraq or Afghanistan hailed from towns and cities throughout our state. Each hero will be honored with a tree and a personalized plaque that will be displayed next to their tree. 


The memorial will be funded and constructed with public donations and volunteer efforts. It will also feature walkways, flower gardens, benches, flagpoles, statues and lighting. 

It will be a serene, reflective area where families, friends, and visitors can be reminded of the valiant courage, bravery, and selflessness of ourConnecticut men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives in military service to our country.

My understanding is that TC can't tell the BoE what to do. However, taxpayers can and should startRead More asking questions! In the past, I believe the majority of taxpayers (myself included) operated on the assumption that once elected, our local govt. officials will take reasonable care to do their jobs correctly and effectively, even if they have had some differences of opinion. However, that was THEN, this is NOW. NOW it appears our taxpayers are waking up to the fact (myself included) that the standards of what was expected, no longer apply. If you're not happy with how your local govt officials are behaving or spending YOUR MONEY ask questions, get involved, SPEAK OUT, and tell them as much so that come NOVEMBER when you decide to vote them out they'll know why.

The Town Council must demand that this grossly unpopular, carefully hidden from view of other BoERead More members, ( when being signed), the town voters and potentially illegal Contract be Cancelled before June 4th, the next Budget Referendum.

What they don't get is that the Dollar Tree and Poquonock development are not isolated issues.Read More They directly relate to the overall frustration of voters. Residents have repeatedly been told that development will produce "benefits" for them and the town and help keep taxes low. Meanwhile, those "benefits" always seem to go to an ever hungry, yet still failing, education beaurocracy while the center of town and other neighborhoods languish with no improvements and taxes still go up.

What Mayor Trinks and Minority Leader Jepson refuse to acknowledge is that people (ALL people) areRead More tired. Most Windsor residents whether they are on the right or the left want cost effective responsible government. We want our elected officials to remember that they ARE accountable to the people. It is OUR money hence OUR priorities should set the agenda. No more horse trails or sidewalks to nowhere. This November let’s send a clear message to the Town Council – step aside boys a new team is taking over.

Michaela you would be a great asset on the BOE. Have you considered running in November? If you doRead More not want to run as an R or a D you can run as an independent. I would def vote for you and I know that Bob would do so too.

There is still time to Vote NO!!! STOP the Tax Increase that will pay the Chicago Shyster $327,966Read More which contains $60k in Travel Expenses - why should our taxes go up so that a personal friend of a school board member can get richer while our students get No Benefit

It is important that we show up and vote NO for the budget. However it is just as important thatRead More this coming Nov we elect NEW PEOPLE to the council and the BOE. For that to happen WE MUST HAVE PEOPLE WILLING TO RUN! Voting No on a budget yet allowing re-election of the same group because there is no one new willing to step up to the plate is a waste of time, energy, and resources.
