Residents of Hartland, Weathersfield, West Windsor and Windsor took time to complete the survey at their polling places last November. Others completed the survey online in the following weeks. Altogether, 409 residents shared their perceptions about community issues.
We are especially excited by highlight No. 5 in the report: 61 percent say underage drinking is unacceptable. There has been a shift in residents’ attitudes about underage drinking: in 2012, only 36 percent of survey-takers felt that it was “acceptable” or “sometimes acceptable” for underage youth to drink if they were not driving; in 2010, those proportions were almost reversed, with 70 percent saying it was acceptable for underage youth to drink (always or sometimes) and only 26 percent saying it was not acceptable.
