BOSTON GLOBE Article "Developers Pull Out of Connecticut Land-Swap Deal"

What a beautiful day for a picnic...

THANK YOU

We want to thank all of you who helped fight this land swap on a state and local level.

After three years of bad bills and hundreds of press articles, including coverage in the Boston Globe and Wall Street Journal, you finally get to keep your land, for the moment!  Until the legislation permitting the swap is repealed, it could come back to haunt us. We are currently working on this.

However, countless phone calls, hundreds of letters, thousands of signatures and 13,000 hits on our website all add up to perseverance and a desire for transparency and truth.

You did it.

Thank you from all of us at CPPL,

Rob Smith

and

Melissa Schlag

Couldn't have done it without you Rob.

More pirates.
