More-ons, Politics, and Pixels; Coal Tar Tweets of the Week

On Friday I walked Longmeadow Farm Estates in Pomfret with State Representative Matt Ritter. Matt is the Chair of the General Assembly Public Health Committee. We talked with Longmeadow residents to better understand the ongoing coal tar issue and what action the General Assembly could take in the next session to prevent this from happening in other communities.

A beautiful, horrible sight.  Look what just starting sprouting around Longmeadow…in Pomfret Center, CT
