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.

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.

Ridiculous. How about we pay him for 24hours of 'representing NL' if the disgruntleds want every…Read More city employee to be 'professional' at all times? "we pay your salary, so we get to dictate your entire life...p.s. we hate your boss...wait! correction...we really don't like your boss"
Doc Halliday May 22, 2013 at 12:35 pm
Unprofessional, even in jest, the shirt shows a lack of maturity. If anyone called on me with that…Read More type of shirt, I would refuse to see them. My opinion. Today's youth need to grow up and separate jest from professionalism.

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.

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..."

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.
Richard Waselik May 22, 2013 at 10:30 am
Yes Kathleen, at on point there was an agenda item on the City Council. It went to the Admin.…Read More Committee. The Police Department would not let me out of work for a little bit to speak with the Admin. Committee, so it was tabled. A letter has been sent to the Admin. Committee to place the matter back on the agenda. Nothing has been heard back as of this writing.

I cannot believe that they lied! Who could have seen this coming.
Carol Haley May 17, 2013 at 07:44 am
Pretty funny Spencer. But you don't want a museum there. You need something that generates taxes.…Read More Museums are mostly non-profit thereby not generating any taxes. I know you were being funny. I was disgusted to read the developer couldn't show financial backing.

Who would haveever thought of Wasp Spray?
When you get the case of spray, be sure and drop a can off…Read More at my house;>)
