Many have attacked Rague personally, especially after she was arrested recently. Rague hopes that the comments…

Letter: Let's Ban Plastic Bags, Darien DARIEN, Conn. – My name is Monica Frate. I have a small business here and I have grown up in Darien. My family has also been here for several generations. We are all small business owners. I am writing in regards to the potential plastic bag ban in town. I hope that Darien decides to lead the way to a brave new modern future with no more wasteful, polluting plastic bags. We live on a beautiful planet and will be leaving it to our grandkids. It is our duty to take care of it for them. Producing plastic bags wastes oil, creates and releases noxious fumes into the air and releases cancer-causin…
