A Poetic Editorial on Trumbull's P&Z:
"A Sign of the Times"
I fear that I shall nevermore see,
The town of Trumbull
As it used to be . . .
With poor Planning
And bad Zoning . . .
Our once fair town will be lucky,
If it still has a tree.
(Of course, that would keep
taxes real low;
With one tree to maintain,
parks' employees could be
let go! )
Buildings will grow taller,
As special interests prevail . . .
But do us hikers a favor, please,
Leave us, at least, one small trail??
Once Tashua could boast,
Of beauty divine . . .
Now when they look up,
They see a 'Home Depot' sign.
Where, oh where, is our P&Z?
Approving these projects,
Which assault you and me?
It's bad enough,
To hear some brag
'They brought our taxes down' . . . *
I'm afraid it's far, far worse, my friends;
They're now making a city -
Out of our once small, and lovely, town.
