The Corrupting of Redding, CT

      Redding, CT.,   In recent months the residents of Redding, CT have all come to learn how corrupting government grant money ( $900,000 ) can be !   Redding`s deer cull, the destruction of  250 deer was cleverly disguised as the ITM tick study,  directed by several locals and their hatred of deer and misinformation of Lyme disease. This CDC funded study was approved by the CT DEEP and run by the CAES ( Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station ),  Scott Williams of the CAES has done little more than distort the deer population and study parameters in Redding, in order to support a pre-determined outcome to this so called theoretical study.                                              Redding`s  First Selectman Julia Pemberton  will soon find herself confronted by the political consequences of her actions over the last several months.  She has managed to pit neighbor against neighbor in this normally tight knit New England town. The residents of Redding gave her a chance and what they got back was little more than, arrogance, dishonesty and corruption.  The residents of Redding now understand her, her associates` agenda and their vested interest in this study.    "  Other Fairfield County town`s chose to educate their residents with the facts about Lyme disease and live with nature not control it.  Redding town leaders have taken a different path with misinformation, fear, and destruction of their wildlife under the premise of public safety backed by greed.  Redding`s deer have become the pawns in a war against nature itself, dictated by the hatred and fear of a few.
