Who Is the Person of the Year from Ellington and Somers?

TIME magazine named President Obama their person of the year for the second time. Tell us who you think should win from Ellington and Somers!

On Dec. 19, Time magazine named President Obama its Person of the Year, again!

The magazine invited votes on 40 candidates, including the president, Gabby Douglas and Kim Jong Un. Other options included The Mars Rover and the Higgs Boson Particle, Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, and Apple CEO Tim Cook. But the president took the title again four years after he first won the award as president-elect in 2008.

But who cares about the same-old, same-old? Who is the Person of the Year in Ellington and Somers — the man or woman who, in Timespeak, “most influenced the news this year for better or worse?”

Tell us your pick in the comment section below! Be sure to tell us which town the person is from and why you are nominating them.

I believe in the concept of charter schools. Saw some very good ones in inner cities that workedRead More very hard and made some progress. But I thinks for every charter school that opens a failing public school should close. Why perpetuate failure?

How long will we throw money at a problem that stems from the home and societal policies promotedRead More over the years? How many years and how much money is needed to fix the fact that so many children are growing up in households without fathers? If we give the schools all the money they want, will it fix the problem? I think not. It is not a school issue. It is a decaying society issue. I'm glad I'm old.

Penny, glad to see some (albeit few) smart people are working in Hartford for the people and notRead More just for their political careers! Since the large majority don't pay attention, it is important that we continue to educate people on what our representatives are doing in Hartford. Keep up the good work, and thanks for taking the time to write this article.
