Cromwell residents angered by lack of spring clean-up; Old Saybrook residents voted down town budget

25 YEARS AGO: Cromwell residents were very angry that Pubic Works crews weren’t picking up everything they put on their front lawns for spring clean-up. At one time, town crews could pick up things like furniture and tires, but in 1987, the collection was limited to heavy metal items and brush.

25 YEARS AGO: Between $300,000 and $500,000 had a possibility of being chopped off the next year’s fiscal budget after Old Saybrook voters went to the polls and sent down to defeat a proposed spending of $13.3 million. The budget was defeated by a vote of 476-331.
