Here is a Baker's Dozen items we can address:

1. Prioritize Affordable Homes: We push for a shift from generic "housing" to emphasizing affordable home ownership as fundamental to the American Dream and Fairfield's history. For instance, 30,000 children will graduate from Fairfield's schools in the next 20 years. They should all have the opportunity to live in Fairfield, if they wanted. We propose relaxing codes for family homes to allow "Extended Family Zoning" and enable Self-Contained Units (SCUs) like ADUs, in-law apartments, and tiny homes. We aim to discourage renting, especially by out-of-town landlords, citing health and safety concerns to both the renters and town residents. We provide them with the option of home ownership, if they want it.   The Affordable Homes Association exists. We suggest using recycled materials like 8x8x20 steel shipping containers for homes. Not incidentally, this priority overrides commercial projects. Our priority is single-family homes. 

2. Reform Higher Ed: We aim to get UConn back on its path by addressing a perceived prioritization of Storrs over other campuses. We demand equity in service offerings across all UConn locations and all 169 Connecticut towns. We seek to address the "Ivory Tower" aspect by encouraging professors to prioritize teaching and reforming the financial model away from reliance on federal grants. The "Jefferson" initiative proposes rebuilding UConn as an "Agricultural and Mechanical University" with graduates owning affordable homes and potentially running the system within 5-7 years. We suggest implementing night school and practical training programs at UConn.

3. Make Public Information Accessible: A significant solution we propose is to stop burying documents and digitize and index public records to expose questionable deals. This action fosters transparency and accountability. We urgently call for putting "everything online" to deter "sketchy deals" and allow citizens to "follow the money." Specific actions include auditing tax assessors' offices in Bridgeport and Fairfield, investigating credit card use in municipal unions, and writing a new code of conduct for boards of appeal. We also aim to eliminate "dark money LLCs" by requiring disclosure of officers, financing, and insurance. We view Google as facilitating this "revolution."

4. Fix Connecticut's Electoral System: We aim to reform Connecticut's electoral system and restore accountability. We allege that both major parties manipulate the process to eliminate independent voices. We point to insecure filing forms and a lack of transparency as flaws. We emphasize the need for measures to ensure fair elections, prevent corruption, and encourage diverse voices. We describe the signature gathering process for independent candidates as burdensome and call the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) "toothless." A Constitutional Convention involving all people is suggested.

5. Establish State Services: We propose establishing State Services to install oversight and fiscal sanity into state departments like DOT, OPM, and DAS, which we describe as operating like personal kingdoms. We aim to streamline and integrate these departments and remove purchasing authority from various state agencies. We also suggest State Services release a daily one-page public update of relevant topics.

6. Implement County Oversight for Bridgeport: A proposed solution is for the 22 neighboring towns to make Bridgeport a "ward of Fairfield County." This involves shared responsibility for Bridgeport's finances, education, operations, and social services. We characterize Bridgeport as "bent" and allege the state ignores this due to the city's role as a production site for builders. We propose developing "New Park City" on the East Side with a focus on homeownership and community investment and opening Bridgeport Harbor to commercial activity. We hold Eversource and Avangrid responsible for environmental injustices and propose a victims fund for those harmed by the Ganim administration. We believe the state props up Bridgeport to maintain the Democratic party's supermajority in Hartford.

7. Establish a People’s Authority Municipal Utility: We propose creating a true municipal utility, "The People's Authority (PA)," to manage water, electricity, gas, and potentially broadband for public benefit. This initiative aims for local control and energy independence and proposes leaving United Illuminating (UI). We express concerns about losing control over water rights to distant entities and oppose handing off Aquarion water rights to the Regional Water Authority (RWA). We propose a "People's Authority Bill of Rights" focusing on water rights, local control, transparency, affordability, environmental concerns, and ESG/DEI principles. We believe Fairfield County can control its own destiny regarding energy and water.

8. Create a Comprehensive Energy Plan: We aim to address climate and energy challenges while ensuring environmental equity. We set a goal for Connecticut to achieve 100% renewable energy in 15 years. We suggest energy audits on homes and buildings and converting structures into smart buildings using sustainable energy like geothermal, solar, and batteries, enabling community sharing of surplus energy for energy independence. We personify solar as the Spokesdog for plants and animals and suggest exploring offshore floating solar panels. Through SolarPowur.co, residents will have a free resource to learn how to do a home energy audit and save money with no sales pressure. Our mascot, Solar the Spokespuppy, represents all living things – plants, animals, and people, advocating for a green planet and fighting against those who obstruct progress. You can see for yourself what's possible with solar using free tools like Google's Project Sunroof.

9. Fight for Environmental Justice: We demand Environmental Justice, specifically for Bridgeport residents, holding Eversource and Avangrid responsible for environmental injustices. We emphasize the need to ensure the health and safety of the environment and ecosystem and to save Fairfield's outdoors. We advocate for restoring environmental oversight and positions allegedly removed from past town plans, highlighting conservation as a core principle.

10. Expand Job Training Programs: We propose expanding job training programs focusing on construction, healthcare, education, and social services, potentially utilizing schools for night programs and parents as resources. We see this as part of education reform.

11. Implement a 2nd Chance Program: A "Second Chance" program is proposed for formerly and currently incarcerated individuals, requiring participation in an ethics course. This program aims to address crime problems and ensure high ethical standards.

12. Restore Town Services: We call for re-establishing key town departments and roles like the Department of Ecology, Director of Ecology, Town Planner, Assistant Town Planner, and the Conservation role. We propose reverting the department name to "Town Plan and Zoning" once genuine planning functions are restored. We envision Town Services as the primary, independent point of contact for all town matters, improving efficiency and transparency through a concierge-type approach. A critical goal is to channel all external contacts, especially from developers, through Town Services first to limit direct access to town employees and boards. We also propose a local residency requirement for certain Town Services positions.

13. Establish County Services: The creation of a centralized county services hub is proposed to increase efficiency, communication, and accountability across Fairfield County's 23 towns. We suggest awarding contracts and oversight to Fairfield County companies, aiming to unite the county and potentially have it take responsibility for Bridgeport. The vision includes the eight counties sharing best practices to become state services.

Solar Vs Everybody (Change.org): This is our platform for action.  Join Solar against "The Man", which includes corporate greed and systemic failures harming us all. This is where we detail the things Solar is against, including skyrocketing utility rates, environmental harm, and education cuts.
The Super Duper Fund: This initiative is part of Solar vs. Everybody. Inspired by the environmental Superfund, it is an initiative to bring accountability to corporations and entities that have prioritized profits over people and the planet. We are looking for the fund to out fund them all – a rolling settlement fund as issues are surfaced and resolved. This is where we will start to tally the money that we see big organizations owe us. This includes seeking reparations or financial settlements for environmental justice, such as addressing lead in pipes for citizens on the East End of Bridgeport [Conversation history]. Entities like Avangrid and Eversource are directly linked to these issues.

Join the Fight: Be part of the Google Revolution—an era where we have access to information like never before. With this great power comes great responsibility: we must stand up and make the world better. This is our last chance to fight against an industry that has made itself the locomotive of our state and has tentacles in every part of our government and society. Together, we’ll use the wealth of information available in this age to fight back against unchecked corporate power and set a standard for transparency, fairness, and dignity.

The Revolution is Brought to you by Google. In this new era, the very landscape of understanding and accountability has been fundamentally altered, thanks to the pervasive power of information access. For far too long, a system thrived on opacity, maintaining its influence by keeping critical information buried beneath mountains of inaccessible paperwork and keeping things offline and opaque. The state of CT and controlling interests operated this way, acting for their own self-interests, often driven by money. They kept information from us, keeping us in the dark, so we had no clue what was going on.

Google has fundamentally changed this by creating transparency. Now, everybody has access to information. Unless they can un-invent Google, it’s pretty much game over for a lot of bad actors. Transparency stops malfeasance before it starts, if the perps know their actions will see the light. This project, including the content you will find here, is built on connecting the dots using publicly available information found through Google.
