Approximately 800 citizens and legislative officials attended a public meeting of the MDC's Water Bureau hosted at the West Hartford Town Hall auditorium on Tuesday, July 20th. Since the capacity of the auditorium was only 500, several people waited patiently for an opportunity to participate in the meeting, which stretched from 5:30 until almost 8:00 p.m. A nice recap of the meeting was published in the West Hartford News. 

Recent features by Rick Green at the Hartford Courant have shined a spotlight on a gaping loophole in the state's recreational liability law that must be closed. Towns and municipal entities like the MDC (Metropolitan District Commission), a non-profit municipal corporation, that make their lands available for public recreation should do so without fear of more personal injury lawsuits.
