The Democrats request came shortly after they proposed adding $72,000 to the budget.
The tenor of the discussion abruptly reversed, however, when freshman Democratic Alderwoman Ella Myles proposed a compromise by simply asking the city manager to seek possible cuts or alternate revenue sources to offset the proposed 1.5% tax increase in the proposed budget.
Democrats called the request to ask City Manager John Salomone to find $4 million in cuts to his proposed budget “hypocritical” and “political theater,” saying it’s the council’s duty to deliberate on the budget after the city manager presents it. Republicans countered that they were just looking out for the taxpayers, who have faced job losses and personal losses during the pandemic.
NORWICH For Shiela Hayes, president of the NAACP Norwich Branch, watching the trial of Derek Chauvin on TV was a somber moment that offered a sigh of relief.
“There was concern of what may have happened across the country had the verdict been different,” Hayes said.
Chauvin, the former Minneapolis, Minn. police officer was convicted last Tuesday of second- and third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the murder of George Floyd, according to USA Today. Chauvin was seen on cellphone video pinning Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, to the ground with his knee last Memorial Day for over nine minutes after police responded to a report that Floyd used a counterfeit $20 bill.
