New Milford school board closes $1.2 million budget difference
From newstimes.com: Roadrunner13: So some of the cuts really won’t affect them at all. The positions they are eliminating are not filled anyway. Seems the cuts are bogus if they weren’t paying anyone anyway.

From newstimes.com: excell: Same old story screw over the kids o no can’t cut an administrator predictible and pathetic.
Victim in fatal boating accident a Waterbury teacher
From newstimes.com: ReddingReader3: There is too much traffic on the lake. Anyone who waterskis on that lake is in constant danger while waiting to be picked up after a fall. Add alcohol to the equation and the risks to everyone are even higher.

From newstimes.com: NickyTeenFit: I’m pretty sure garbage mountain was revealed twelve years ago in Idiocracy.
From newstimes.com: GoodGrief: Show every 8th grade student, The French Connection (1971), starring Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle. That should deter a few students from riding the horse.
