'Take it from Sweet Al'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Readers:

"It is sadly obvious that this particular gentleman is crying out for help. And help, I wish him. However, twice now is eyebrow raising. I agree that some personal responsibility should be at hand. Another job well done by our town police department. I wish this person remedy of what ails him and peace." —

“I agree, the man needs psychiatric help. So give it to him, but don't tell me he will be dumped on the street because money has been cut from the budget.” —

P&Z OKs 30-Foot Field Lights for a Year

“If 30 foot lights are supposed to promote safety, it would be appropriate to keep track of injuries. I see the lighting as allowing for more contact and consequently more injuries. If this is truly about safety, THAT should be the basis for record keeping. I'm guessing it will be an afterthought.” -
