Daily Five: New London Budget Redux

Five things to know for September 27

1. Partly cloudy throughout the day and evening, with sunrise at 6:41 a.m. and sunset at 6:36 p.m. The high temperature reaches 71 degrees..

2. The City Council has a special meeting tonight to determine whether to accept a revised budget and tax rate proposed by the Finance Committee. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall.

3. The Board of Education meets at 7 p.m. at the Science and Technology Magnet High School. The agenda includes a report by the superintendent on advanced placement and CAPT results as well as several appointments.

4. Wonder what some of the scenes from around New London have looked like? New London Tube shares a YouTube video featuring New London each Thursday at 5 p.m. You can also check out the Pics & Clips gallery and share your own images and videos there.

5. Lancaster, Pa., became the capital of the United States today in 1777. The designation lasted only until the end of the day, thanks to a lack of lodging spaces for the Continental Congress delegates who had left Philadelphia due to a British advance. The delegates moved a short distance away to York-Town on the 28th.

The mayor and council president will lie and cheat to protect the mayor's unqualified and dishonestRead More people. The council and the council leadership is supposed to act as a check and balance in this new form of government. Mr. Smith is one of those dishonest people. It is sad that this person can be so dishonest and that the so called leaders in the community back the dishonest person rather than standing up for the taxpayers and people that really do live here and pay taxes. As a finance director Mr. Smith knows the importance of the proper tax town for vehicles, so he cannot claim ignorance. Is he is breaking the law because the taxes in Windham are lower or because he truly lives in Windham?
