HARTFORD, January 2, 2008 – The Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) is hosting a series of community forums designed to give the public a closer look at the MDC’s services, and to provide a first-hand look at how the MDC works.  The first forum will be held on Thursday, January 10, 2008 at the Mt.
