Alder where are you this is your street?

This is near the corner of E Pearl St and Grand Ave in Fair Haven.

I believe your alder lives on East Pearl.

Yes, that is correct. His name is Santiago Barrios-Bones.

See if he can do something.

For once, in this particular case, I fully agree with xyz! Mr Berrios-Bones number is 203-782-2264.

Don't be surprise if the store owner has been alerted because of these posts and now will either cool it for awhile or will be more careful who he sells to. This is not a private site anybody can read it. Using the phone is better in situations like this.. When in doubt call the police 203 946-6316.

I agree. Why didn't the person who first posted this do so?

He also used his name which is not a good idea.

The owner has been arrested various times. He just gets out and keeps selling. He does not even need to get out he can have someone else sell. What is needed here and elsewhere in New Haven is a change in policy and fines that create an economic disincentives. This is where our alder(s) can intervene in a way that has significant impact on the quality of life of their constituents.

Agreed!

Thanks! We should ALL call Mr. Barrios-Bones and other nearby aldermen to address this issue ASAP! His phone number has been generously supplied above....

I just called the head of the alders Alphonse Paolillo Jr. 203 469-1823.

WIth regard to the problems of illegal cigarette sales and other issues surrounding Grand Avenue Smokers' Market, New Haven Police and CT Department of Revenue Services are investigating and have made arrests.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
