Ferry Tale
For a moment I thought I was in Moscow as I
read the article “Ferry Dreams” (BNH, December 15). The apparent resistance on the part of civic leaders to a project that was not part of their
ten-year plan was SHOUTED OUT.
Mayors and chamber of commerce leaders should be chasing SeaComm to see who can get service established first, not last. We need to encourage visionaries willing to put their money where their dreams are.

What's the Deal?
It's too bad Easter Seals Goodwill wasn't able
to consummate the deal to sell its 95 Hamilton Street building to the Salvation Army for $2.77 million, the amount it needed to realize from the
sale to retire its debt on the property (BNH, December 15).
While not knowing the particulars, what is missing from the scenario is a guiding hand that helps make deals happen whenever the greater good of the larger community outweighs the narrow interests of neighbors and, perhaps, political pals. In New Haven, it seems, this guiding hand has been absent for far too long.
I hope publications such as yours will continue to cast a bright light on bad deals, insider deals, fishy deals - and, in this case, failed deals that probably should have succeeded.
