District Common Council members Tom Livingston and Lisa Shanahan (both Democrats) at a 2020 Council meeting.
NORWALK, Conn. Two Norwalk Common Council members are pushing back on parental perceptions that middle school bathrooms need to be gutted and replaced.
District E Democrats Tom Livingston and Lisa Shanahan say they visited all four Norwalk middle schools and the bathrooms are not as bad as they’re described. In response to their thoughts, the Council Planning Committee voted to remove $38,000 from the planned $1.5 million for bathroom renovations and instead fund the Norwalk Public Library’s newspaper digitization project. This is slated for a full Council vote Tuesday.
