Connecticut Office Closes

From the Associated Press:
The Social Security Administration will shut its Bristol office on November 2nd.


Operations will be consolidated in the New Britain office, but Social Security will have a representative work a half-day a week in Bristol to provide limited services.


The agency says it will save $113,000 this year and about $1 million over 10 years.


Bristol City Council member Frank Nicastro says he will fight the decision to shut the office.


He says closing the office will force hundreds of elderly and disabled seniors to travel to New Britain for Social Security service.

Wow, I just looked up the distance between Bristol and New Britain on mapquest. People will have to travel an extra 10 miles. Give me a break!
