Reduce fossil fuels, help our environment
I don’t like what the factories are doing to the environment. They are polluting water and the air. The factories are killing animals and plants. I think that the factories should burn less fossil fuels. And help the...
'Contest for the soul of this republic'
House Speaker Nancy Leader Pelosi states that President Trump's words are hateful, inflammatory, create danger and are disrespectful and dangerous. Instead what is dangerous to this republic is that the speaker has lost...
Aggressive ticketing better than tolls
Based on 2015 Department of Transportation data, over 700,000 cars pass daily on busy sections of I-95, I-84 and I-91. If you drive on those highways, I am sure, like me, you see many dangerous infractions, speeding, weaving in and out of...
Exempting some from taxes was a big mistake
Our forefathers created the fairest and most equitable tax system known to man. A system firmly based on wealth and one’s ability to pay for services rendered. So, they put X amount of gold/dollars into this said monetary system. And as...

The next two years may be two of the most fascinating in American history. Consider news reports that various top government figures appear to be involved in a conspiracy to remove a president from office through illegal means. There is...
Don't let complaining left suppress speech
It seems the liberals among us are becoming increasingly fragile, triggered by anything that isn't bracketed into their ideological views. The free exchange of ideas is the cornerstone of the First Amendment, but to the garden variety...
Keep diversity of opinions on Day's pages
Me thinks the snowflakes protest too much! The Day should keep Lee Elci and a wider variety of other voices to have a diversity of opinion in its newspaper. The Day's editorial board is so reliably against any common sense financial or...
Enjoys Elci and puzzles in The Day but not much else
As someone who finds this newspaper as vile as much of today’s journalism unfortunately is, I nonetheless continue to spend (way too much) money purchasing it. It is good to know one’s enemy. The articles contain obvious...
Mystic parking problem is now critical
Parking in Mystic is in short supply. The number of places on Main Street was reduced by the streetscape project. Groton Zoning Board continues to rubber stamp every new restaurant or expansion if members are told that parking spots will be...
