Dear Eleanore Turkington:
I have written to you before concerning early garbage and leaf trucks waking up the people in our neighborhood. You had asked for an update to see if there was any relief regarding this issue. It appears that maybe the trash people have gotten the message, BUT the city leaf truck is still waking us up. 5:00 a.m. this morning, April 19. I can’t understand how it can be so important for those leaves to get picked up in the dark and rain, more important than people getting a full night’s sleep?
As usual, we have selective enforcement of our laws. Sorry to waste your time with this, but our city government doesn’t work for me, they work for the guy who has to wake us up and his boss (I use the boss title loosely) is not a boss at all. It appears the employees run things. Waving bye-bye at retirement to the West Haven Ghetto.

Dear Eleanore Turkington:
I guess that idea of cooperation was to come around to the front of my house at 5:15 a. m. today, (May 17). Have a nice day! I myself could have used another hour or so this morning but those leaf bags are more important. You can also thank the mayor, police chief and whoever is supposed to see that the contract is in compliance with the ordinances that are supposed to prevent this type of misuse. I can see why West Haven is in the sad state that it is in if we won’t enforce simple laws.
The message is the same all the time. I now have the pleasure of the summer fireworks and the lack of that enforcement. My neighborhood appears to have an unlimited amount of money for fireworks as I get to listen to them booming above our neighborhood on any give night, just like every other summer. You would think that in today’s crazy world someone would be concerned about what else those explosives could be used for? I have plenty of officers that live in the area. Once again, selective enforcement!
Sorry to go on, but I really do need to move from West Haven. What a shame. Could be a nice town. Once again, please have a nice day.
