Regarding the approval of the Inland Wetlands Agency for the new magnet school on the Boston Post Road in West Haven, (story here) maybe someone should check that again. Over the past years, the supposedly protected wetlands in West Haven have been very badly mismanaged, as many residents can attest. The result has been flooding and weeds on formerly dry properties. (I was pulling swamp weeds out of my lawn this morning.) No person or agency will take responsibility for this. A meeting with the mayor, residents’ organizations, all result in lots of talk and no action. Do we have to wait until foundations fall apart from underground flooding before anyone notices?
