Opinion
Broadleaf addresses environmental impact concerns
|
DESRI appreciates the opportunity to respond to the July/August article, Solar Project: Potential pollutants. Several statements in that piece do not accurately reflect the facts about the Broadleaf Solar project.
Opinion
Environmental policy deserves facts, not spin
|
Last month, an opinion piece criticized my record on environmental issues. I agree with the writer on one important point, protecting our environment is essential—future generations depend on it. But her piece misrepresented my voting record. Legislators should be scrutinized, but that scrutiny should be based on facts, not selective scoring or political spin.
Opinion
Anderson’s environmental positions defended
|
In response to an article published in September’s Drummer that criticized Representative Mark Anderson’s environmental record, I believe it is important to present a more balanced and fact-based perspective.
Opinion
In response to the ad hominem attack on Mark Anderson
|
The writer of September’s opinion piece draws from information provided by the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters (CTLCV). What is this organization and more importantly who are the primary funders?

Granby Student Achievement: Year-over-Year Growth in State Assessments
|
At the Sept. 17 meeting, the Granby Board of Education received test score results from the prior year’s Smarter Balance (SBAC) tests. These results, coupled with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) assessment and the PSAT and SAT scores provide guidance to the board—and more importantly the administration and the teachers—of what additional work or changes need to be implemented to help our students achieve their best.

Our highways and byways evolved with the times
|
Last month, I described how, as a result if the flood of 1955, Granby became an island when the bridges and roads on Routes 9, 189, 20, and 10 were washed out or badly damaged, so that no one could get in or out of Granby. Our town green was literally an island as it is surrounded by Routes 10, 20 and 189 (formerly known as Route 9). Here is a brief history of roads through picturesque Granby.
