After the governor signed into a law a bill allowing Sunday alcohol sales, a number of Naugatuck package stores said they will open their doors for business today.
Connecticut residents can now buy alcohol on Sundays — starting today. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed into law Thursday a bill amending Connecticut’s Blue Laws, giving permittees the option of selling liquor and beer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The law went into effect immediately. Permittees are now also allowed to sell alcohol on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and on Mondays following a Christmas or New Year's Day holiday that falls on a Sunday. State Rep. Rosa Rebimbas, who helped orchestrate the law, gave support of its passage in a comment posted on Naugatuck Patch. The only state left to prohibit Sunday liquor sales is Indiana.

The Naugatuck school district releases information on where Central Avenue students will be going in the 2012-13 school year.
Parents of students at Central Avenue School are being notified this week which of the K-4 schools their children will be heading to in the next school year. Superintendent John Tindall-Gibson said the district sent out letters to the parents on Wednesday informing Central Avenue families that the redistricting process is under way. The Board of Education voted 7-2 to close Central Avenue School next year and reappropriate the building into a less-expensive early learning center. The move is said to save nearly $1 million, as the borough finds ways to save money while dealing with anticipated spending increases. According to a map of the redistricting, available on Mayor Robert Mezzo's blog, Central Avenue students will be reassigned to …

And, Himes applauds House passage of Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act.
LIEBERMAN: The senator released a statement Thursday in response to the U.S. Postal Service's decision to delay closing mail processing plants until 2013. “I appreciate that the Postal Service is moving forward with its downsizing in a way that is consistent with the Senate-passed 21st Century Postal Service Act," he said.

The borough board tabled a decision on whether to hire Campion Ambulance, at $96,000.
The Board of Mayor and Burgesses tabled a vote Tuesday on whether to hire Campion Ambulance as the emergency services provider for Naugatuck in the upcoming fiscal year. The reason, officials said, was so that the board could talk in executive session about specific impacts the decision will have on ambulance services in the borough in the 2012-13 fiscal year. “It’s a process, and the board has to understand what its options are,” said Attorney Edward “Ned” Fitzpatrick, the borough’s legal counsel. The borough board is expected to meet in executive session at a later date. Last week, the Naugatuck EMS Subcommittee voted unanimously to recommend the Waterbury-based Campion over the current contract holder, Naugatuck Ambulance Inc. Campion …
