Unemployment declines not because more people are employed, but because less people are collecting due to the benefits running out. You can only collect for so long.
I agree Don't be fooled the new adminastration has been in office for six months and has done nothing in the way of promoting East Haven or stimulating the local economy to provide jobs except make speeches with empty words and broken promises. One has to look no further then his promise of a grocery Store filling the vacant A&P spot on Rte 80 by summer.
Next weekend is the start of summer and yet the store still sits empty.

we need to get back in the timeless beauty of BARTERING, to create work, the roadsides and along the rail tracks are over littered.

Wondering if they are hiring for town jobs.... would really want the ... uh.. benefits.

Perhaps the van driver needed to help out the elderly and disabled residents should be a paid position, Two drivers or one and subs. They would need to be insured and paid by the town due to the liability it carries. They would have to be drug/alcohol tested and go through training as any school bus driver would. This should not be a volunteer position, thus increasing East Haven's employment of its townspeople

I'm disappointed with the new format. Doesn't seem to be very user friendly.

It's probably the same punks who broke into our cars over on Mansfield Grove AGAIN.... the policeRead More think its a bunch of teenagers because they take little things that are not of much value in any cars that arent locked..and are also doing things like slashing tires, etc all over town. They got into my car the same night! Hope you find your scooter

Gov. O'mally is ruining this State by driving more and more people into poverty, giving illegalsRead More drivers licenses, letting criminals out of jail early, pushing good companies out, and making it's citizens unsafe. Time to clean house starting locally!

WE THE PEOPLE have no say in how governments govern nor how OUR money is spent. WE supposedly electRead More people who take the trust of the people with them when elected and do the will of WE THE PEOPLE. This has never happened. Especially in state and federal office. Once in office the power they discover they now have pushes aside the will of the people. It an attitude of we have the power and you don't. Someday, but I doubt it, we can elect those who will not loose site of why they were elected.

Beth - I am sorry to hear about your disappointment and I'll try to explain a few of your points.Read More First, Patch is a community forum as well as a news source. We have been looking for sports-minded folks to blog for us and keep us informed about events such as the softball team's state playoffs. We don't have a sports editor to cover just sports for the town so we rely on folks in the community to help us all stay informed. Many Patch sites have a sports blogger who reports on sports. Anyone interested?? In regard to the accident on No. High Street, you are correct in the fact that minimal information was reported and there was a reason for that - because minimal information was released to the press. We asked, we didn't get answers. And with our new format, there are 'bugs' in the system which are being worked out, so we apologize for all of them ahead of time, especially when links don't work or when spacing is off. It's frustrating, I understand. Please continue to support the EH Patch.
