"National Guard To Clear Trees In Farmington Valley"

That's a fine idea 7 days later, and after 7 days of wasting skilled labor's time on same.

I wonder what prompted the change ? Did some card suggest impeachment for failing to execute the duties of office, or write to Washington ?


As nearly 375,000 residents remained without power, the Connecticut National Guard was deployed Thursday night to clear debris clogging hard-hit areas around the state, starting with the towns of Avon and Simsbury.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Thursday evening that, at his request, about 100 National Guard troops have been activated for the operation, which he said will move into still more communities Friday. In addition, Connecticut Light & Power Co. said it is dedicating additional tree crews to help in the cleanup out of concern for possible safety issues.

Jeffrey Butler, CL&P president and chief operating officer, said the move came in response to acute safety concerns expressed by town officials earlier in the day.

Sure... whatever makes you feel "strong like bull".

What a multi-millionaire imbecile. Can you even solder ?

The pre-Halloween storm and its treacherous aftermath have led to eight deaths, including four from carbon monoxide poisoning, two motor vehicle accidents, one all-terrain-vehicle accident and one from a fire. Overall, 276 residents have been treated for carbon monoxide poisoning as they have tried to stay warm in their homes with the help of gasoline-powered generators or charcoal grills.

Oh, they'll never know just how treacherous it really was.
