Who is the fool that wants to blow $9 million dollars renumbering exit signs that have stood since…Read More the mid 60s? AS I understand it, the new exit numbers will correspond to the mile markers. So if the mile maker is 9.2, the exit number near that marker will be exit 9. However, the next exit is at marker 12.5, and the exit will be exit 13. Does that make sense? Who is going to pay for all the redesigning of the maps, the business owners who have spent thousands of dollars preparing literature showing which exit to take to get to their stores? As usual, the government wants to fix something that's not broken, and make it worse. The real problems don't get fixed. Get ready, next it'll be saying "we spent so much money renumbering all the highway exits, now we have to raise your taxes to pay the bill".

That's a good question. I assume it will show up as exit 9 once the new markers are installed but…Read More that's up to the GPS manufacturer to be aware of the change and reflect it on their software. However, it will only show up as exit 9 for for folks who update their GPS systems by plugging it into their computer and running update software. Many forget to update their systems regularly. The signs will be even more confusing as it will say "Exit 9: Old Exit 79A". I have seen those signs when PA highways did the changeover and it severely confuses those unfamiliar with the area the most. "Welcome to CT: Now It's time to Get Confused As We Call An Exit 2 Different Numbers For No Good Reason!"

How will the Exit renumbering system affect the existing maps on the 100 of millions of automobile…Read More GPS units?
Will the Casino Exit show up as 79A or 9 on our automobile's GPS?

No, North Korea isn't making me nervous. They're just a bunch of big mouthed small minded wind…Read More bags. What really makes me nervous are the politicians currently in power around here, namely Dan Malloy and Barack Obama. They make me plenty more nervous than Kim Jong Un...

ADHD is a real disorder but is way over-diagnosed. When a boy isn't engaged (bored, not challenged),…Read More he's slapped with a label. Sometimes drugs are appropriate, other times it could mean that he needs to move up a grade level or be stimulated in another way. But other times its just covering problems up. I'd like to know what other countries do that diagnose ADHD.

Why not make them public! The whole public has been on this since begining. We mourned and have had…Read More tribute after tribute. We got to see the faces of the victims,why can't we see the evidence,life and witnesses of a man who did such a hienous act.. I don't get it.

And there is the great thing about the Internet. I came here (just found Patch the other day) for…Read More some civil discussion about local events with people in my community and not one post later it devolves to, essentially, name calling by anonymous users. It’s the most perfect constant in the universe.
Anyway, no, 17 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things, but this is not the 1950’s. And I don’t see why in this case it’s Bill Clinton’s values. He signed the law, but I fail to see how that effects the current discussion. It would seem to be the values of the country as whole that are changing.
