Oh, this just stinks.
I'm now so backed up in projects for this site, that I've ran out of room on my harddrive.
Okay, this is what I'm going to do.
I'm going to stop everything right now since I simply do not have any space on my server. I'll need to burn about 30 DVDs worth of video and if you know anything about burning DVDs, that takes a great deal of time.
When I return tomorrow, I'm going to post the Mayor's State of the City address tomorrow in full and follow that with the video footage from the December Common Council meeting. I also have video footage from Wednesday night's EIC meeting which was rather interesting to say the least...I mean really, with all the traffic on North Street, how can ANY developer even think about building more units over in that area.
Finally, I have several interviews to post that should be of interest as well as my year in review where I'm going to recap several things that happened in Danbury as well as post never-before video footage from this summer's Taste of Danbury. I'm going to also talk about 2007 and the race for mayor (which actually kicked off this week with the mayor's flip-flop on broadcasting local government meetings (I'll get into that later) as well as his remarks during his state of the city speech).
The questions people ask me the most around town are 1.) what's the name of the Democrat who's going to run against Boughton 2.) Do I think the Mayor is beatable 3.) Will the Democrats be as split as they were in 2005 and 4.) What role will blogs have in covering all the mayoral races across the state. I'll try to answer each of those questions before the New Year’s Day as I don't want to give away too much at this point. The year's not over and everyone is starting to jockey for position as Mayor Boughton's re-election machine is definitely coming to life (as you'll see by the speech he gave today).
In closing, I'd like to personally thank all those who visited this site. Regardless of your political views, my ultimate purpose of this site is to bring you information that you normally wouldn't get in other sources of media in the area. Now, after almost two and a half years, the readership on this site alone is rising at a very fast rate and with a new PR campaign in place, new reporters joining the crew offering different stories from the different wards, and hopefully a completely re-designed site and a possible public access show, expect this site to grow very fast, and very soon.
If you think this site is good now, you haven't seen anything yet. I haven't even tapped into the video/audio archives yet. In 2007, words will come back to bite some people in the butt while old issues will be re-visited to see if any progress has been made. With the Senate and Congressional races over, also expect to see more video interviews from your State and Federal Reps and Senators as well as a chance for you to directly ask your elected leaders questions (we'll get into that later).
Okay, that's enough for now...I'm showing my hand too much right now and too many politicians read this site and the last thing I need is Democrats and Republicans who are running for office asking to be interviewed (DON'T EVEN ASK AS I'M CLOSING THE INTERVIEW SHOP TILL JANUARY).
...stay tuned.
