    • Colorado Civil Unions Bill Passes Senate
      Yesterday,  a Colorado Senate committee voted 3-2 to pass Senate Bill 11, which would legalize civil unions for same-sex couples in that state.  The bill was opposed by Republicans in that vote.  The bill will now be heard by the Appropriations Committee before it reaches Gov. John Hickenlooper’s desk.  The bill is expected to become [...] […]

    • The Sandy Hook Conspiracy
      My two cents.  Since the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook, I have noticed an increase in people creating Facebook conspiracy pages. Dubbed "truthers", many people have called into question whether this horrific event even occurred.  Some of them are even posting private family photos of the children who died.  If you are one of these people, I wo […]

    • Sped up death warrants producing bizarre farce in FL
      There’s something really strange going on in Florida right now. Apart from Gov. Rick Scott’s puzzling failure to sign the ‘Timely Justice Act’ which I’ve excoriated here and here, there’s an absolutely insane set of circumstances playing out in the imminent execution of William Van Poyck. It seems that, rather than sign the bill, Gov. [...] […]

      A federal judge in New Jersey recently ruled that Office Depot’s overtime scheme, modeled after the federal “fluctuating work week” method of overtime pay, violates the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.  I know, you are probably saying, “what does that mean?”  Let me explain. As most of you know, we have had a law in [...] […]

Law Office Observing Storm Safety Protocols

Posted By Irene C. Olszewski, Esq. on October 29, 2012

As you are all aware, Storm Sandy is making her way up the coast.  The winds have been increasing steadily all day and as of this writing, have really begun to pick up.  Severe flooding and high winds are expected in Connecticut.  Power outages are a given.  Our first priority is the safety of our staff and clients.  The law office is observing storm safety protocols and will remain closed until power is restored and roads are safe for travel.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we weather this storm.  With power outages, we will have no phones, fax or internet service until the crews restore power which is estimated to be 36-40 hours after the outages begin.

At home, we have prepared for the worst.  Flashlights and lanterns have fresh batteries, wood is stacked and ready to heat the house, bottles of water are full.  Patio furniture and other possible projectiles are safely stored away.  All electronic devices have been charged so I have something to do when the lights go out.  Although wifi will go out with the power, I am thrilled that my smartphone will continue to give me access to the outside world.  I even managed to do 2 loads of laundry and take what I hope won’t be my last hot shower of the week.

We hope that all of you in the path of the storm will remain safe.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
