Nolan's police service makes him a good candidate in New London

New London police officer and City Councilor Anthony Nolan as a viable option to fill our vacant State House seat is welcome news. His qualifications far surpass those of all rivals. Yet his paramount virtue is an esoteric one.

Focus on goodness instead

The article "Time to ditch the Anger," (Jan. 12), by Marci Alborghetti sure rang true for me. Over this past year, I have chosen to live my...

Don't fall for Trump's policy bait and switch

President George H.W. Bush said, "Read my lips: no new taxes." When he had to raise taxes he did it without a government shutdown. Candidate Donald Trump said, "Mexico is going to pay for the wall." Americans must refuse to pay for the...

Skip fear mongering by Day opinion contributor

It is highly ironic that Lee Elci's column, "We need a wall for Americans' safety," (Jan. 17), carries on about the southern border while our Coast Guard,...

Pave River Road, forget plastics

Can the Groton Town councilors focus on more important topics than plastics? River Road has not been paved in 20 years.  After contacting Rachael Franco and other Groton Town Council members there seems to be no end in sight in...

Choose trees over sidewalks

Recently I was saddened to see numerous healthy trees cut down on Plant Street. I know this has happened in other parts of New London due to sidewalk replacements. It's easy to assume this is a normal procedure when sidewalks are dug up and...

Too few showed up at RTM budget meeting

To her credit, Groton RTM Moderator Syma Ebbin called an RTM meeting for Jan. 9 to address the budget early. Only 25 of the 41 representatives attended. This after we were told ad nauseum during the recent referendum how critical the RTM is to...

Who pays legal fees for CMEEC defense?

Who will pay for the legal fees to defend the five alleged CMEEC felons indicted by the FBI after an investigation and an audit that raises significant issues as to impropriety? No small potatoes. Will the ratepayers carry the costs to retain...
