Thank you, Lee Elci, for your excellent portrayal of the Theater of the Absurd, “New London police run errands for ‘defund’ council,” (May 5). New London taxpayers should be appalled by such a wasteful, disrespectful policy that uses highly trained police personnel to deliver City Council reports. Who approved such an absurd and atrocious policy? Taxpayers would be justified in voting out those who approved such errands.
