Tax Collector Wanted - PhD's inquire within

Thu, 19 Feb 2009 08:00:00 GMT

As of the most recent town meeting, 46 people got to decide (for the whole town) that the post of Tax Collector is now to be appointed. By a selection committee... who, exactly, was not quite specified, but probably the selectmen.

With the election fast approaching, cut through the bull and see the facts for yourselves.

The Buildable Lot Fiat

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 07:00:00 GMT

The Harwinton Board of Zoning has passed the new "buildable lot" measure. Apparently, I am the only zoning board member (alternate) who thinks this is a bad idea... but it's not necessarily why you might think.

The Election - What happened?

My take on the election of 6 Nov 2007. I took an office, but many of us did not. Is this rejection or apathy?

Welcome to the website...

Hi...

I've been an HRTC member for a couple of years now. I joined when I opted to run for the Board of Assessment appeals. It's silly that that's a partisan office, but I suppose somebody's got to foot the bill for advertising the various candidates, so I suppose there's a shred of logic to it.

Since I have my own consulting business in software architecture and development, I decided I could help out a bit by crafting this website. Although the website exists primarily to promote the HRTC and its objectives, I also set out to create a site that would benefit the town as a whole by providing a forum in which to display and discuss current events, both political and otherwise. Although we're just beginning, it's my hope that site will take on a vibrant life of its own and help keep the citizens of Harwinton informed and politically active.

If you stand around complaining about how the government isn't working for you, you've only yourself to blame.

Get involved! Vote! Join us! Join them - if you must. :)

Either way, participate.
