Misinformed opinions are a waste of our time!

Well its been over a month since our last post and we aren't going to act like we went on vaca again. To be honest we've been busy and there hasn't been much to add our opinions to, until now.

There is nothing I can't stand more then reading letters to the Editor of the News Times that clearly are full of incorrect assumptions and accusations.

Why not raise flags of other countries? This letter is complaining about a Brazilian flag now flying over the city along with an American flag. WRONG! If this person spent the time it took to write the letter to actually educate herself on what is really going on then she would realize that she is complaining about something that doesn't exist. I have been fortunate enough to be invited to several flag raising ceremonies by friends including the Indian, Lebanese and Portuguese ceremonies all of which were very nice and their flag only flew for the remainder of that day with the American flag.

Danbury is more than downtown This letter accused city officials of focusing their efforts to only our downtown. Either this guy lives in a bubble or he is playing stupid in order to get his letter in the paper to publicly bash the city for something it isn't doing. I have witnessed first hand how revitalization is happening throughout the city. My kids have enjoyed a new park all summer, that is not downtown, and the city's UNIT team has helped me more then once with my neighbors. The fact is if this guy asked for help he would get it and if he paid attention he would see a lot of good change in our city. Improvements and change take time, speak up and be a little more patient.
