I&#039;ve taken Metro north into Manhattan several times over the past six weeks, always off-peak. The trains are still crowded at that hour and the waste disposal system is ineffective. I for one am tired of riding in a care that reeks of chlorinated human waste. Not the most aromatic of smells for a 71-minute trip.

Here we are, living in the wealthiest county in the United States of America and our legislators think it is more important to fund soccer fields for the lavender bedroom communities surrounding Hartford than upgrade the rail system. It is typical of Connecticut&#039;s dysfunctional legislature to not fix something until it is badly broken.
