This excerpt from The Red Line , written by a smart Greenwich resident, Red Jahncke, contains data that demonstrates the housing crisis in Connecticut is self-imposed and it will not last long. He expects that the onerous housing bill that was rushed through the Connecticut legislature and is now on the Governor's desk, will prove unnecessary. The Red Line, November 24, 2025. The Democrats' recent one-day emergency session of the General Assembly suspended genuine democrat

It started with this video produced by six Democrat lawmakers encouraging the military to defy orders. The video provoked the President to call it "seditious behavior, punishable by death." Here is the transcript of the lawmakers' video: "We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community who take risks each day to keep Americans safe. We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military, but that t

Last week, the Democrat supermajority in control of Connecticut's House and Senate rammed through an omnibus housing bill that puts the State in charge of local zoning. This was done during a special emergency session without bi-partisan vetting or public input. Connecticut is now attracting unwanted national attention for this insane State policy that is one of the most extreme in the nation. The New York Post ran this story written by Betsy McCaughey, former Lt Governor of

It's back. The Affordable Housing bill that Governor Lamont (D) rightfully vetoed a few months ago has been re-issued and is about to be voted on in a special session in Hartford. The politicians say it's a scaled back version of the hated HB5002, a compromise bill, and a bipartisan effort. Don't believe any of that. It incentivizes dense, as-of-right multifamily and middle housing in commercial zones and near transit (think Greenwich, Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich tra

CT Senators Murphy (D) and Blumenthal (D) voted against the deal reached on Sunday to reopen the federal government. The deal promised a vote on health care subsidies within weeks of the opening.

Blumenthal claimed, "I am unwilling to accept a vague promise for a vote at an indefinite time on an indeterminate bill." The government shut down, the longe

It began with CT Governor Lamont's good idea of providing multi-use recreational trails along Connecticut's rail paths and canal routes. The State committed $9 million for 50 trail programs including a grant to design a Greenwich-Stamford Multi-Use Trail. Instead of running along rail paths, the 10-foot wide multi-use trail under study here has gone off the rails. It runs through narrow streets in Old Greenwich in hopes of connecting Old Greenwich's Binney Park to Stamford

Good news: Governor Ned Lamont announced that full November food stamp benefits (SNAP, EBT) have been restored in Connecticut. You can celebrate and carry on, but can you? The bad news : He achieved this by authorizing the use of Connecticut taxpayer money to cover the federal government’s shortfall. No promises were made to add oversight and combat fraud. With 42 million Americans now on food stamps, the program’s massive growth and lack of accountability should alarm eve

You've seen plenty of coverage criticizing the White House for demolishing the East Wing to build a $350 million ballroom. Critics have framed this action as the historical erasure of the "people's house," calling it something akin to "slashing a Rembrandt painting", in the words of Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley. The opposition's rhetoric has been severe. CT Senator Chris Murphy (D) declared on MSNBC, “there’s a lot of history that has taken place in the East Win
