Seeking Connecticut’s Best Tourist Spot

Connecticut is betting $27 million that the state can become a hub for tourism. One plan is to find the most popular spot in the state, as picked by voters.

Connecticut’s “Still Revolutionary” tourism campaign is reaching out to its Facebook fans and Twitter followers to find the best spot in the state.

The campaign announced Tuesday that it’s using its Facebook and Twitter pages to elicit submissions for “a CT destination that most exemplified ‘still revolutionary’” for the next two weeks. Eventually the submissions will be open to a vote. 

Nominations can be written on the group’s Facebook page, provided the location, "enhances and supports the image of Connecticut as ‘still revolutionary’ a destination that continues to inspire visitors" and “serves as a true tourism attraction/destination for the state, either built or natural.”

Submissions are also accepted through Twitter. Not eligible for nominations are restaurants, individuals, retail stores, cities or municipalities.

I remember years ago that not all of the information about the Kennedy death and assassination wouldRead More not be unsealed until 2017, so why not be able to seal the records of these deaths for the same amount of time?

To further support my support of Aurelia, the letter above states it was the New York Post thatRead More wanted the details. Good for you town clerk! I goggled the Connecticut Council on Freedom of Information and they are indeed nothing more than a non-profit group. They are not a government agency. And an inept one - their own website is a mess. What clowns.- http://ctcouncilfoi.org/

Town Clerk Aurelia is already causing the town to needlessly spend money defending her derelictionRead More of duty: "An attorney representing the town, with the law firm Cohen and Wolf, issued an opinion in response to the, (New York), Post's request stating that the public is only allowed to view death and marriage certificates that are "at least one hundred years old." Cost aside she is pushing for a state law that would restrict access to a minors birth certificate for 6 months, she originally wanted them sealed for 10 years. The only thing the proposed law is going to accomplish is the healing that has been accomplished is going to be undone when the seal expires. This is much ado about nothing. http://www.newstimes.com/local/article/Newtown-officials-withhold-death-certificates-4526713.php
