Thursday, June 10 - United Illuminating top brass will meet with Woodbridge residents, 6:30-7:30pm in the Center Gym. Tips on saving energy, answers to "Why is my electric bill so high?"

forums like ours
Submitted by Pua Ford on Thu, 05/06/2010 - 10:13Distracted by too many good ideas, I bounced from reboot.fcc.gov to its Future of Media page to a forum (Media in Your Community)inviting the public to submit Top Ideas, to vote and comment on them:
http://futureofmedia.uservoice.com/pages/37784
Second from the top of vote-getters is a description of our own CT-N/Connecticut Network and its sister organizations in the other 49 states. I love my CT-N, having stayed up till midnight last night with the Senate playing on my laptop and the House playing on my TV. (Yes, my household switched back to cable from satellite--story for another day.)
And yet, I am attracted by the Vermont Front Porch Forum, third on the list.

Unlike our Woodbridge Citizen, it seems to require funding & so solicits donations. Yet it appears to have active participation from its subscribers. And its SO local. How shall I vote?
