SHELTON City finances are in a “favorable position,” with a replenished fund balance and stronger-than-anticipated early tax collection results, according to city Finance Director Paul Hiller.
Overall, the general fund a point of concern last year when it sank to $84,068 stands at $2,188,800. Hiller said the number has increased after a favorable fiscal year, when each department came in under budget, including the Board of Education, which returned $501,000 to the city’s general fund.

Men urged to know their limits and to swim sober
I write to ask men in particular in your local area to help Royal Life Saving in its mission to prevent drowning this summer.
We know that too many men are taking unnecessary risks. They over-estimate their abilities and under-estimate the risks, and this continues to be our greatest challenge.
Men are over-represented in the drowning statistics, particularly men aged 25 to 44. In the past year, over 90 per cent of those who drowned in this age group were males.
Too many lives are being lost. It’s heart-breaking. We know that drowning impacts families and communities.
