Ansonia's John Marini and Derby's Scary Larry Dwyer talk about two horror movies screening in October in Ansonia (including an appearance by Caroline Williams, legendary kick-butt star of Texas Chainsaw II).

In this clip from a July Valley Indy podcast, Ansonia corporation counsel John Marini and economic development director Sheila O'Malley talk about forming a regional economic development corporation to help the lower Naugatuck Valley.

In this episode of 'Navel Gazing: The Valley Indy Podcast' I go over a recent free speech issue in Derby regarding a resident's written statements -- and the city's response, warning of possible legal action for "inaccurate and false statements?"

Was the city's response based in reality?

For an informed opinion on that I talked to Dan Barrett, the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Connecticut.

Jack Walsh is the chairman of the Derby WPCA. Rick Dunne is executive director of the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments.

Dunne talks about assertions in Derby saying the city missed out on grant money that would have made cheaper a $31 million borrowing plan to fix the sewer system.

Walsh talks about the current state of the WPCA, on how far its come since landing in hot water with federal and state environmental regulators.
