oldtimer Please you can do better than that with the guys getting caught in Fairfield by cops working dirt jobs. You know as well as I do that is one in a million and does not justify the extra cost which seems to amount to millions. Also for the NPD to actually catch someone they would need to actually be out of the patrol car and not playing on their cell phone. Pretty hard to see a crime being committed when playing pac-man. Here is a repost of an Survey I posted on another article. A little something from a Massachusetts survey Police officers working at construction sites on local roads were paid an estimated $94.3 million statewide last year, more than three times the amount civilian flaggers might have cost, according to a study that questions whether details pay off in road safety. The study contends that taxpayers and businesses could have saved $37 million to $67 million if local laws allowed companies and government agencies to hire civilian flaggers instead of uniformed officers to direct traffic at construction sites. “Somebody owes the public a big explanation as to why we are wasting millions of dollars a year on these details,” said David Tuerck, executive director of the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University, which conducted the study. “The police cannot produce one shred of evidence to support why we need this expense.” FYI Before some blow hard says I have an issue with the police or take the test in a lame attempt to redirect ..I have no issues if the police would actually do what they are paid to do View Comment

So True Jane So true Moccia has been sucking up to the police union ever since promoting a chief with ZERO search for the best candidate. Its all about Moccia taking care of the police while the police do ZERO for Norwalk which is clear by the out of control crime,. We have a 4 percent Moccia tax increase coming while we are paying cops 65 plus per hour,with a city car and city gas to read the newspaper at a hole in the ground. Other towns cities and Moccia urban center have gone to traffic agent s at 15 per hour without a city car and without city gas. Maybe is we did this in Norwalk we would not need the tax increase sicne View Comment

If you don't follow the law then you will go to jail where you belong. View Comment

The issue for Norwalk is not Malloy cutting the car tax .The issue is the tax and spend Republican that is mayor. View Comment

The NPD is a complete and total failure..We have so many violent crimes that have not been solved and they are worry about this...What a waste.. Maybe its time to look at outsourcing the NPD . View Comment

Dawn I her the keystone cops of the NPD have a big sting planned for jaywalking. View Comment

WOW The NPD is wasting time with this when we have hundreds off shootings, stabbings and killings ALL UNSOLVED.. How about the double homicide a few summers ago, how about the shooting of the soccer mom at stop and shop where the chief promised they would get the shooter....I guess those are not important anymore.

WOW The NPD finally caught ONE and we have the simpletons saying good job. Its clear these simpletons have very low standards. How about the hundreds of shootings in Norwalk that the NPD has not solved..How about the many many stabbing and murders all unsolved, but they caught one ...TOO FUNNY View Comment

ODD as I haven't posted all day yet the troll ponytail Steve accuses everyone which is most people that disagree with her as being me. Thanks for the compliment fool. I WONDER WHY SHE IS SO OBSESSED WITH ME IS IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS MAKE ME LOOK FOOLISH. Thanks for the Laughs troll. View Comment

Pagieiie You say But the majority of them are on local roads Thats is so untrue. when and where do you see charter buses on the local roads?? View Comment

Pagieie So, it was a "right wing wacko" that pulled the trigger... WOW I think you are correct on this one View Comment

Sueanne you make some very intelligent an excellent points View Comment

Old Timer Do you actually expect this administration to ever admit a mistake. The arrogance would not allow it View Comment

This is a GREAT compliment. We need more liberals to fix the mess and the wars that the conservative right winger cause. Let us not forget about the near depression that the village idiot Bush caused. President Obama inhered this on his first day in office and has fixed most of the Republican Bush's disasters in 4 short years. Only a fool would disagree with this fact.. View Comment

If the US auto industry went under like Bush wanted we would have more unemployed then we do currently because of Bush. Instead because of President Obama we have added hundreds of thousands of quality jobs right here in this country in the US auto industry. View Comment

Right wing are wackos You are 100 percent correct. View Comment

I find that most gun owners are cowards that are terrified of their own shadow. They usually have very low self worth and the gun makes them feel important. Actually they are very sad group. View Comment

Thank you Democrat Malloy for yet another tax cut. It seems the Republican Moccia is against this..Very typical of the tax and spend Republicans. View Comment

This is all thanks to the tax and spend Republican Moccia. View Comment
