Mark, I disagree with your statement that "We need a modicum of accountability among our…Read More elected and appointed officials." As citizens of this city, we need and deserve more than a modicum of accountability; yet, as the months since this administration has taken office have rolled by, too many of us, including council members, have been willing to let just one more unacceptable thing go by. Zak and his t-shirt are the very least of it and to insist on his resignation over such a silly thing would, I'm afraid, give residents the false impression that they have accomplished something with this administration.

Carol, This is not pre-school. An apology does not erase what one has done. This was a major screw…Read More up for someone who represents the interests of the city and the people of New London at the State Capital. If he is not bright enough to foresee the impact of his actions he should not be employed by the people of the city of New London. This is quite simple really. When we are 4-5 years old a quick heartfelt "I'm Sorry" goes a long way, not so much as an adult with real responsibilities. This attitude with the current administration that they can do what they want and just say sorry has to stop. We need a modicum of accountability among our elected and appointed officials. New London does not have that.

I deliberately did not make any comment regarding this t-shirt business because I don't think it's…Read More any big deal. Some of you people have turned something inconsequential into a big thing. The young man apologized and it should be left at that. And Kathleen, you go girl.

Very good comparison. I also wanted to add that the Ct. College students that believe what Finizio…Read More has to say remind me of The Children of the Corn. After speaking with a friend we realized that Mayor Finizio is like a college student. I just wish he knew that real life does not work this way. New London has already played this game with the Giordano lady years ago. Remember her she was from Ct. College and also was going to make New London a hip city. We got homeless people and brownfields. So much for that idea. Been their done that. How about a new idea for once. Please don't think about shutting down State St. that too was a bad idea. Just ask Mr. Hyslop and Ms. Glover how their ideas worked out. It doesn't matter anyways it's all about the votes and getting your Children of the Corn on the Council. I mean come on drivers licenses for illigals who ever thought that one up.
