“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Maryanne Williamson

New London school board keeps law firm????



So the BoE decided that they don't feel an obligation to save the taxpaying citizens of New London $41,721. Great! And on top of that President Kinsall threatened a lawsuit!? What kind of balls does it take to snub your nose at the city and the people who you are supposed to serve? Conflict of interest? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black. We have a BoE member who draws part of his salary as a School Resource Officer from the Board that he sits on. But you don't see that as a conflict? These people are out of control and it is beyond my comprehension why anyone would vote to re-elect them. Any of them! You have Elaine Maynard-Adams being quoted as saying in regards to a report about the New London school system "why is this all about education?" and you have Alvin telling the people of New London they should not bring their complaints, concerns, or suggestions to the City Council but the BoE when anyone who has done that knows good and well that they will do absolutely nothing for them... And now we could save a large chunk of money on legal fees by having the City Attorney represent the BoE as well and they decide, no they would rather spend more at the taxpayers expense?! This leads me to feel even more strongly about voting NO on the budget referendum on September 9th. I am even more concerned about allowing this rouge group of individuals operate with no restrictions or guidelines to have to follow. After all, they are already NOT educating New London's children. So I again urge you to take the time to think clearly about the behavior of the BoE and send a clear message with your voice.
VOTE NO!

Is this the best New London has???

SO WHAT DOES CATHERINE ZALL AND CHRIS CLOUET HAVE IN COMMON?

Well they both have an ability to set poor examples for the patrons of the organizations they oversee.

Chris Clouet as superintendent of schools for New London has marched in the illegal immigrant march thumbing his nose at the immigration laws of these United States. Effectively this is telling the students in the New London School System that it is ok to pick and choose the laws that you will follow.

Catherine Zall as the executive director of the Homeless Hospitality Center continues to operate the HHC as a wet and dry center thumbing her nose at the directives of the City Council and the Zoning rules of New London.

In New London we have too many prima donnas that think that the rules do not apply to them. As a result the community suffers greatly. To allow these renegades allow these disrespectful individuals to continue just enables them and makes them a more powerful negative influence to the New London Community.

Be sure that Clouet and Zall are not alone in this there are many more. These are just two of the most outrageous examples. CHANGE FOR THE BETTER in New London can only begin with the systematic removal of individuals like Chris Clouet and Catherine Zall.
