A great guy who chided me once for driving myself to the hospital "YOU CALL...WE HAUL" heRead More said. That would make a great bumper sticker. My respect and admiration to all those taking part in this event...in addition to the donation I will send in.

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong But don't you have to have a Capital Project in our budgetRead More for it to be complete. I'm told they never put one in. Again the people of N.L. could be ask to vote on a incomplete budget. If this fact is true I guess they always could just get a legal opinion and make it so. Sherlock, it time to do some checking.

Dennis, The problem is that the puppet master pulls the strings and the puppet dances to his tune.Read More The council president is inept at best and pushed through a budget that included an increase for the Board of Education after a refusal year after year by the Board of Education and their staff to disclose a true and complete breakdown of the Board of Education budget. If we had any real leadership on the council this would not have happened, we spend over $40 million a year on education and we are prevented from seeing where the money goes. How is that even possible Mr. Passero? Do you even care? These are the questions he should be peppered with constantly with.

Thank you Felicia, we need more people like you to speak up at city council meeting.

Here we go again, paying and supporting criminal activity. Adopt the babies out. Sounds heartless?Read More Raising a baby in prison is heartless. Where is the ACLU? Incarcerating a innocent baby in a prison nursery. Or have a relative take care of the baby until the mother has served her time.

I don't think they can ignore it. Its almost moot voting on the first one. I'm just focusing onRead More this new budget. A re-evaulation was done this year. I can't see properties assessments going up with the way the economy has been especially in SE Connecticut. So if property values decrease, taxes will decrease and it should all wash out. I don't think our taxes will decrease, but they may stay at what we paid last year. Time will tell.

and the NL power structure remains in place, strong arming the citizens into yet another increasedRead More tax burden. from an outsiders point of view (mine), one wonders how this city manages to stay afloat at all, juggling numbers around as if they were stepchildren with no real parentage, no verification or even a provenance to determine where they sprung from. the fireboys have it pretty good, as long as things just keep 'happening'.

This is a joke, DJF has his puppet and three little men right in line and they will get what theyRead More want.

@LB...Your nephew must have done something really bad for SUSAN B HANDY to to give him anRead More appropriate sentence. Most of her rulings are as if she was scolding school kids. Your nephew was lucky to have Handy... she is a cake walk. My suggestion is to take a good look at your nephew and figure out why he got what he deserved... not to complain about the judge...He deserved what he got and more

My 15 year-old nephew video *taped* a school yard fight. That's it. He was not involved in theRead More fight. His parents made him do the right thing and turn in the video tape to police. For this he received 18 months house arrest and 1 year in adult prison. He was handed a harsher punishment than the kid who was charged with assaulting the other kid *involved* in the fight. Lastly, in the video tape you can see a crowd of teens gathered around *holding their cell phones up* so they can tape it and take their own pictures. Funny, not one of them was arrested or charged. Would you like to rethink your uninformed response at this time?

It's amazing that a criminal got sentenced at all in this kind of case. maybe their still a littleRead More hope left for the human race.

so, again, we 'the ever loyal taxpayers' are taken to the cleaners to cover the 'unforseen cost' ofRead More KNEE JERK legislation by incompetent legislators. had they used a graduated system, implimented across a time span, a quota system or even an immediate show up at the local police for a nice photo and fingerprint (stand in line and WAIT YOUR TURN before you even go to the gun shop) until they accept issue the permit, this could have been avoided. people ARE afraid, deeeply afraid of having their most basic rights REMOVED form them (all while handing out free drivers licenses to ILLEGALS!) something STINKS here and it isnt in my house.
