  Rob Bartolotta Why don't they just do an infomercial with that Sham Wow guy? It would probably cost less and be just as effective.

  Alex Basuljevic Yes that was sarcasm Rosalie. I thought the city ran the sewage but they are adding that to my water bill.

  Lisa Pettine And further more what's this distinction? I can only think of one...our teacher of the year. Or could it be the amount of shopping available in a small town? ??

  Rick Hyder The money will come from a government grant, why can't our government stop pissing away money and do the right things for our country and legal citizens. I am from Derby, lived here my entire life and cannot think of anything to promote our city.

  Ken Hughes We turned this down a few years ago. I suggest they turn it down again. Doesnt DHS or another local school have a photography club? Also, what is the "new face" of Derby? I must have missed that one.

  Rosalie Cota Alex - I knew it was sarcasm and was joking.  And as far as the sewage goes -- isn't it going to a vote? You can vote against it. I know that unless I get more information, I'm voting no. The stuff I read in the beginning only mentioned certain roads - if they're not going to fix all the areas, then my vote is no.

  Rosalie Cota Also -- we could promote our New England town with it's fun things like Derby Day, the Eco Fest -- and other things the Cultural Commission (which I am a member) would LIKE to do to bring people here. And bringing people might bring businesses, etc. But the board of aldermen is against anything that brings nice things to our city.
