RIDGEFIELD: "As much as I hate the 3 musketeers, I do admit they are doing the right thing putting it on the May ballot. This way we can vote both the budget and library down at the same time — YES." This is one reader's response to an article about Ridgefield Library's pending renovations, which could result in an expanded program schedule.

SHELTON: "'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.' If you want to push your agenda in peoples faces expect to be pushed back." A reader posted this on Shelton Patch's Facebook page in response to news that some religious and political groups are urging Starbucks customers to grab their morning coffee elsewhere in light of the company's stance on gay marriage and its policy on guns.

SHELTON: "To begin with, I am not gay and a very happy married man. I support Starbucks decision for one MAIN reason. This is America; the land of equal rights and NO One should have the right to tell another how to live their life. I personally think that religions are getting to involved in the lives of American citizens. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? I believe that the religion is a good thing, but enough is enough. Religious groups should practice their beliefs the way they believe and keep it to themselves, they don not have the right to push their beliefs on other people. Someone who is gay did not just decide to be gay; they were born with those traits in them because God must have wanted it this way. NOW, is the USA CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES going against God's decision?" This is another reader's response to the boycotts against Starbucks.

WILTON: "The town wants to spend a couple of million dollars laying in fiber optic cables connecting Town Hall, The High School and the library to facilitate the transmission of as yet undefined data files. They should stick to the Internet and save the money. That kind of money could be used to purchase electronic textbooks for an iPad for every Wilton student several times over. Let's put the priority into the classroom instead of loading up on the 'peripheral fluff.' Is the PTA involved?" This is a response to a announcement posted by Rep. Toni Boucher about a recent education workshop that focused on initiatives to seriously address the nation's as well as the state's achievement gap.
