State Rep Toni Boucher, R-143, has a folder full of letters from constituents opposing the build out of Super 7. Some of them, may in fact date to the Civil War, but a folder full of letters won’t stand up to a crowd bearing pitchforks, or more likely signs and fliers in support of Super 7. State Senator Bob Duff, D-25, is holding a rally Sunday, February 11th, at the Hilton Garden Inn. It’s high time that the few, Wilton population of south of 18 thousand, stop putting the breaks on the economies of Norwalk, New Canaan, Westport, Weston, Ridgefield, Bethel and Danbury, populations of much more.
The rally will likely be the first in a long line of drumming up public support to show the ostriches up in Hartford and the DOT that it’s time to stop examining the silica surrounding their brains, and start addressing the many things that need to happen to make the state of Connecticut a viable economy in the 21st century.
Moving people, products and information is the currency of an economy. Increasing public transportion in tandem with increasing roads is the only logical solution. If Scarsdale didn’t suffer by the parkways that snake through it, then Wilton won;t suffer either.
The rally will run from from 3- 4 pm. Maybe someone in Duff’s organization has seen to inviting these people to it. The Committee to Expand Route 7 is based in Wilton, It’s likely that their letters are not in State Rep Toni Boucher’s folder.
