Politics Aside: Kelly gets a column
After her very successful run for office last year, Kelly has become quite the thought leader here in Hamden. She was just named Chairperson of the town’s Clean and Green Commission and was asked to pen a biweekly column for Hamden Daily News, an online-only newspaper for our town. She cleverly named it “Politics Aside”.
Her first column ran today and I think it’s very timely: our proposed budget is under review right now and has a lot of oddities in it, including the elimination of the Traffic Director position and the reorganization of the Traffic Department under Engineering. If you know anything about traffic planning on a municipal level, you know this is going to cripple our efforts to get a handle on the traffic issues which keep sprouting up and ensnarling our roads. And then consider the fact that some of our roads haven’t been paved in over 35 years and… I’ll stop now. Anyway, I’m obviously a little biased, but I think it’s a great first piece and I’m looking forward to seeing her develop her column and public voice.
Congrads Kelly. Good Luck. I love you.
