I think that all of you who are asking Zak to resign better take another glance at what you are…Read More saying. If Zak did decide to resign who do you think Mr. Mayor himself would put in Zaks place? Think about it, does the name Laura Clueless Natusch come to mind. She has been the all time supporter of Himself and he does owe her something for standing by him in all of the foolishness. Be careful what you wish for. I personally would find that entertaining. Come on seriously that would be a hoot.

@Joshua: Looks like another mature, insightful and value added comment from a staunch supporter of…Read More Finizio. Par for the course.
Sue P. May 24, 2013 at 11:24 am
I have a great idea, Ryan, maybe you could make Zak a T-shirt that says New London hates Me. I…Read More wonder if that would be offensive. As much as we all complain about the administration I would like to point out that there is nothing we can do about it for another 2 and a half years. It is what it is and I think of Zak as the only way to communicate with this administration. It's too bad that Tammy wasn't the one wearing the shirt. Zak works for Daryl Justin Finizio and he is to do what he is told or else. I for one do not want Zak to resign because he is the only one there besides Nate that can tell us what is happening in this city. Don't worry 2 and a half years is not that long and don't forget about this November when we can finally make a change. Stay informed.
Felicia Hendersen May 24, 2013 at 09:11 am
Truth Hurts, that is exactly the reason that Zak needs to step down, dumb youthful urges and not…Read More thinking before one acts is not the right mix for someone in the position representing the community. Do the right thing Zak and resign. These things never go away, but you should.
The Truth Hurts May 23, 2013 at 10:01 am
Bottom line - A dumb decision by a public servant. If he was going to wear a shirt whose humor was…Read More so eccentric that it needed wide explanation, he should have avoided the urge to take a picture AND post it on Facebook! DUMB!
Mario de Lucia May 22, 2013 at 07:52 pm
And what I meant by that comment that I don't think this whole thing has anything to do with…Read More t-shirt , it's just a shutout to the Mayer and what he is bringing to the table .
Jason Morris May 22, 2013 at 01:30 pm
Jessica's previous two posts in other city's patch pages, with the exact same title (just school…Read More district name changed) have been moderated/deleted. Recommend this corporate advertisement to get the same fate.
The concerns are true, but it's an ad nontheless.

Barbara, the shirt creator, Zak and the band of mayoral supporters all share the same mind. That is…Read More why it is difficult for them to make any good decisions.
Barbara Crocker May 23, 2013 at 07:39 pm
My observance that NL people are not the haters, but the hated, amuses you??? Don't quite get that,…Read More but it seems by the post written by the shirt's creator, that you don't get it either...
Marco Frucht May 23, 2013 at 06:43 pm
Barbara, Felicia, you people amuse me!
Might I also suggest that this entire issue is being blown…Read More way out of proportion?
Sue P. May 20, 2013 at 11:03 am
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.

I'd say more like G.I. Joe vs cobra, oh no wait, He man vs skeletor or maybe even the thundercats vs…Read More mumra! Lol

Here's the latest Spencer from the AP, if we can believe them:
Traffic in southwest Connecticut…Read More could be a mess for as much as a week until service is restored to the commuter rail line affected by a derailment that injured scores of passengers, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy warned Sunday.
Carol Haley May 19, 2013 at 05:26 pm
I read that Malloy is hoping Monday but there are problems with the tracks and that has to be…Read More repaired. Taking a guestimate, if it isn't Monday, maybe the end of the week.

I would say that the Collective Bargaining Agreement would have to be looked at for his Union.…Read More Mr. Hathaway is not in Local 1378. He is MEU. I would say, that this is an interesting question for our members. Local 1378's CBA does not go into this language, however it does state that prior to reorganization, the union must be notified to bargain the impacts (not exact language). This is not to say that the union has final say, or say at all as to how the administration shall operate, but the impact to the employees is what matters as well as the position in general. I will look into this language in reference to the Charter and forward it to the MEU as well. Thank you.
Kathleen Mitchell May 22, 2013 at 03:17 pm
The following is from NL's Charter, Sec 46. Does it mean that Bill Hathaway would be entitled to a…Read More public hearing?
"...Any officer or employee so removed, suspended, laid off or reduced in grade shall, if he so request, be furnished with a written statement of the reason therefor, be allowed a reasonable time for answering such reasons in writing and be given a public hearing by the officer making such removal, suspension, lay-off or reduction in grade, before the order therefor shall be made final..."
Richard Waselik May 22, 2013 at 10:37 am
I have not seen any details other than word of mouth at this time in reference to more being added…Read More to the pension plan after two years. I would not be surprised. This would be another instance in which the charter was violated and would have to be mentioned to the Admin. Committee. I would be willing to gamble that they were put into the employee pension plan as well.
