Two J’s Crab Shack locations — the main location at 2074 Park St. in Hartford and the secondary in Hartford’s Parkville market — have permanently closed, according to the owner of both locations.

Owner James Tinker said the lingering effects of the pandemic are the reason for the closures.

“Prior to the pandemic I was doing 50, 60 grand a week. After the pandemic it was just tough to make ends meet. I mean, $20,000 a week doesn’t cut it,” he said.

So pull out all those unfunded mandates and pay for them? This seems like a good idea to me, as now those pork programs will have line items in the budget instead of being hidden in delivery charges.

Now I dont think it changes the numbers. Fixing out min green mix would be a good start.

PS - having a well, Ive learned plenty that living without running water isn't a big deal.. want a drink, get a gallon from the store.. wash your hands... use the same gallon.. but once you cant flush the toilet, damn if you arent living in a third world country. thankfully flush water doesnt have to be safe to drink, so I always fill up a bunch of old pool shock jugs with water and put them in the basement for such a need.

The Republican plan is to literally guarantee payments to Eversource as a reward for their record profits and rising stock price while simultaneously blowing a gaping hole in the state budget.

Never enough money for social programs or school books, but when it comes to a handout to energy companies, those Republicans are right there with a plan all fleshed out.
