Interesting and kind of goes along with what I was saying. They wouldn't be able to pay warehouse wages around Wilton and keep it regularly staffed due to the high CoL, whereas Newburgh is more economically distressed and able to better support those wages

Yea, but it's a crappy commute from almost anywhere. Stuck on single lane Rt 7 from the north, or 95/parkway traffic from the east/west.
All I was trying to say with my original comment is they would be able to grow significantly bigger within the state if they were located more centrally to commute to. Middletown/Cromwell or up by Bradley

The median home price in Wilton today is $860k. That's a ~$6k/mo ($72k/yr) mortgage + tax payment today. I would say a $250k household income would be the low end of realistically being able to safely afford that.
Westport, New Canaan, Ridgefield, Weston or Redding probably don't offer much reprieve either. Norwalk would be the only realistic housing option for someone making $60k to live in a bordering town

The only bummer is they are based in Wilton. That will limit their future growth within the state just given the restricted housing options in the area. I've already seen billboards in BPT for them looking for more employees, but it's really not a great location to allow them to grow much bigger within the state.

I would push their union harder. There is almost certainly a short term disability option offered by them. Also, not to be an asshole, but why can't they work with a broken foot?

My guess is it's 4 people. Names probably start with V, E, O, H. Depending on who is working together on the tag, that's the variation they use. So V, E, and O go out and do a tag, they use VEO (if O does the spray, maybe adds the dot in the middle). Idk, just my $0.02

Reply to comment by smkmn13 in CT's legislature salaries are starvation wages, $28k/year. You have to be retired or rich to serve. This is regressive and should be changed. by MormonReformist
That's an unfair argument. If their job was FT it would be less than minimum wage, it averages ~4mo a year of work. 16 weeks * 40 hr = 640hrs. $28k/640hrs = $43.75/hr

And also, don't plan to actually try and hunt or buy a gun for a few months after you submit the paperwork

Officially, if you already have your permit, when you go to renew, you will need to attest that you are not this:
>>You are an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801, et. seq.).
So while legal in the state, it's still federally illegal at the moment. This might change with the latest bill sent to Biden to sign though.

Reply to Fusion Ballot Cross Endorsed Candidates? by LymePilot
Most importantly, by cross-endorsing, it ensures the smaller parties remain on the ballot.
In the event they decide to run their own candidates, they are automatically on the ballot.

Just an FYI, most credit cards upper APRs are pushing 28-30%, so it's not exactly abnormal.
I am not advocating for payday loans (or any loan anywhere near that APR), but people do use them, and from a businesses perspective, they need to be priced high like that because the loan is absolvable in bankruptcy. So there is a high risk of default.

I would guess it's more regional. A CT license in NY is probably a better fake than a Montana license. Like WTF is someone from Montana doing at this random bar/liquor store in upstate NY.

Counterpoint, cars now tell you exactly how many miles to empty, so you can use this to determine if you need to stop for gas now, or when you get to your destination exit.
