Barbara you are right on the mark as usual. Frucht is most likely a DJF supporter and in his eyes…Read More DJF and his posse can do no wrong at all. Always someone else at fault.

I have asked people I work with that reside in the surrounding towns if they agree with Mr. Frucht's…Read More comments. Not one felt that NL hated them, but many agree that surrounding areas hate on NL...maybe he or his parents experienced something on a personal level that makes him/them believe NL hates them. Like I said, I have lived here for my whole life and never got the impression that NL hated, only that NL is hated. Seems Mr. Frucht is one New Londoner who hates other New Londoners...

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 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.
Kathleen Mitchell May 21, 2013 at 06:26 pm
Richard, When you say "The city..." to whom are you referring?
At one point, there was an…Read More agenda item about this issue but, as far as I know, nothing more was heard about it.
Now we hear that people who haven't even worked for the city for two years are being generously rewarded via the pension plan, etc.
Can you address this issue?
If not here, then maybe in an email to orkenizer@gmail.com

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;>)
Carol Haley May 17, 2013 at 12:34 pm
Barbara, I agree with you. But it is probably a lot easier to get an illegal social security number…Read More than we would know. There are two ways of looking at this issue, but my resentment is that I have to pay for them.
Barbara Crocker May 17, 2013 at 07:52 am
But for state aid they would have to have a Social Security number. Bending and breaking laws is…Read More how they got here in the first place. The fact that elected officials condone and encourage these laws to be broken is the biggest problem that I have with this whole debacle. "Undocumented residents" place a burden on all of us, and take jobs that could be worked by legal residents. Employers hire illegals (yes I prefer calling them what they are, to hell with being politically correct) because it saves them money, not because "no one else would work these jobs". This is a slap in the face to all of our ancestors who came to this country and followed the rules to become citizens.
Carol Haley May 17, 2013 at 06:51 am
The way things have been going in the eastern part of the United States, as long as the illegals are…Read More not breaking the law criminally (motor vehicle is different), they are not arrested for being illegal. Its the illegal immigrants who break the law, such as the large drug bust recently in the papers. As long as they are minding their own business, they get a pass. The only problem I have with illegals is their rush to get on state aid, food stamps, etc. I don't think we should have to support those that choose to live in this country illegally. Becoming a US citizen is not cheap. It is expensive, but it is something that they must work for.
