4. It's Connecticut not Oregon. Unless Senator Blumenthal has changed states.

The Laurentide Ice Sheet did a number on New England's surface geography and some of our hydrology, before finally retreating 20K years ago. Cape Cod and much of Long Island are glacial till. Lots of glacial ponds in the region.. Some with obvious inflows and outflows. Some not.

2. What a shame. Wealthy cabin owners want taxpayers to subsidise their unreasonable lifestyle. Move. Use the money ...

.. they want, to provide affordable housing in Portland instead.

5. Not sure all these people are wealthy? Is affordable housing in Portland, Connecticut, a big problem?
