Edwin Arnigo, who was reportedly within the autism spectrum, went out of his house in Barangay Lingunan, Valenzuela City on Sunday to buy ice candy when Master Sergeant Christopher Salcedo picked him up and shot him near the homeowner’s office.

Panel Aims to Place Strengthened Focus on Capital Planning Efforts
DIGHTON Town Administrator Michael Mullen is pleased to announce that a stronger town-wide focus on planning and scheduling short and long-term capital needs in Dighton is being put front and center.
The town’s newly re-established Capital Outlay Committee recently held its kick-off meeting after being revitalized by residents at Dighton’s last Annual Town Meeting. The Committee brings together experience from the town’s Finance Committee, residents and town Department Heads to analyze and recommend capital expenditure needs to Dighton residents.
“We’re excited to kick-off our efforts and create a capital planning process that reflects the needs of the entire Dighton community,” said Town Administrator Mullen. “Dighton has a strong record of diligent fiscal planning, and the work of the Capital Outlay Committee will only strengthen these efforts.”

It depends on the town s ability to weigh the pros and cons of committing to what some are calling a matter of promoting basic human rights, but others say takes that goal a little too far.
Selectmen decided at their Jan. 25 meeting to send the idea to the town s Human Rights Committee for recommendations, not only on whether flying the flag on town property would be a good idea but also for a flag policy to regulate such proposals in the future.
Selectmen Chair Brett Zografos said it all started when the town received a hate-filled homophobic email a couple of weeks ago damning homosexuality as against God.
