Mayor Finch's Wednesday Lunch- Black Rock Stop Complaining

Each week on most Wednesdays, Mayor Bill Finch holds a "brown bag lunch" which is open to the public.  The CT Post ran an article on Sunday depicting the details of last week's mtg when the topic of taxes in Bridgeport came up.  The article reads...

"Taxes in Bridgeport are not that bad a deal," he said.

A $900,000 waterfront home in Black Rock would probably cost $3.5 million in Westport, he said. Even if taxes are slightly higher here, he added, it would take years and years for the aggregate costs to be equal.

"Those people (in Black Rock) have got to stop complaining about their taxes," he said.

Black Rock Residents Fight Massage Parlors

Black Rock residents went to bat on Friday to testify for stricter massage parlor laws in CT.  Neighborhood members including Black Rock's own Auden Grogins, a Bridgeport Rep, attended a public hearing before the Planning and Development Committee.  

Lawmakers are considering a bill that attempts to curb illegal massage parlors in CT.  

"The legislation adds shiatsu, acupressure and Thai massage to the list of services that cannot be advertised without a license to perform massage therapy. It also makes it a misdemeanor for someone to knowingly employ an unlicensed person to perform massage."
