I moved to Connecticut in 2013, and Windsor in 2023. I'm a full time engineer who's constantly trying to understand what's going on around me.
I get frustrated when a new Bill or Act in Congress that's been in works for months makes the news and everyone seems to have a hot-take far too late. My goal is to start local and make the day-to-day government decisions easy to follow concisely and objectively, because the "boring" stuff is only boring until it's not.
AI is cool, and it's capable of a lot of things. I chose to use it because of it's ability to quickly process text and provide concise summaries of official government documents. That said, it is capable of mistakes. If you read something you think has been reported in error, please report it.
