“Your car has a face, and in Connecticut, that face can be subject to editorial review by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Six characters may not seem dangerous, but in the wrong order your choice of vanity plates may apparently pose a serious threat to public morality. Or so says the DMV.” – Jim Cameron Continue Reading →
“Growing up in The Great White North (Canada, eh?), Winter seemed to last about six months. This Winter in Connecticut seems even longer. But feet of snow and sub-freezing temperatures don’t have to stop you if you follow some tried and true travel hacks.” – Jim Cameron Continue Reading →
“In order to defeat Ned Lamont and return our state to prosperity, we need to nominate a candidate for Governor capable of unifying our Party across the state. It is indefensible that candidate Stewart would seek to denigrate the hard working, dedicated Republicans from our town and region simply because of where they live.” – Mike Hahn Greenwich RTC chair Continue Reading →

“If you’re a Metro-North rider in Connecticut, already juggling limited parking, train delays, and the usual commuter indignities, get ready for something new in January. Not a fare hike (for once), but a complete rewiring of how train tickets will work, courtesy of the MTA.” – Jim Cameron Continue Reading →
“Here in Connecticut, where we import every gallon of fuel we burn, a slowdown in EV adoption is more than an environmental setback. It’s an economic one. More money will leave the state for out-of-region fuel suppliers. And an unreliable, underbuilt charging network threatens to stall our transportation future.
The real bottom line? You may find new gas-powered cars will be cheaper, but the cost of driving them will go up in (exhaust) smoke.” – Jim Cameron Continue Reading →
“Amtrak’s long expected (and four years delayed) NextGen Acela is turning eyes as it whooshes up and down the corridor.” – Jim Cameron Continue Reading →
