ReplyWhat may potentially affect New Milford are the scheduled increases for participants in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) now that the federal government is no longer subsidizing the program. Any homeowner who has NFIP will not see any rate increases on their primary residence unless or until they sell their home (policies are no longer transferrable to the new owners), let their policy lapse, their home suffers severe repetitive loss (determined by local officials), or they purchase a new policy. The increases are 25 percent annually until it reflects real risk.

No, I mean Jonathan Silver--he was staying with Rob during the announcement and, according to Rob, bounded down the stairs in a very unique and wonderful dance when he heard the news. .

Time to cool the conversation down. As always, I believe debate on any issue--especially one that raises the temperature in the room such as this--is healthy and encouraged. A differing point of view can be informative and even persuasive, or it can serve to strengthen resolve, but it always adds value to the conversation.
And I wholeheartedly embrace the first amendment right to freedom of speech, but I ask everyone to stay focused on the topic at hand. In less than seven days the Zoning Board meets again to hear this application in its newly amended form. At that time many questions may be answered, many more will likely arise. But let us please keep this forum open and confined to the exchange of opinions and ideas. Let's stay away from any and all personal attacks. Let us be mindful that many middle school and high school students are following the Hekemian hearings on Patch--let's show them the underpinnings of democracy by leading by example. Let's all take a deep breath.
