While I’m going to have some fun on the subject of curfews, the real problem, as the Mayor identified, are parents. Curfews you see, are something parents should impose, and apparently too many parents think that its okay to arm their hormone raging teens with time, money, cars and cellphones and that somehow college prep study groups will spawn. Seriously, hasn’t anyone seen Footloose?
The Hour reports:
Saying he is drawing a line in the sand, Mayor Richard A. Moccia on Tuesday threatened to impose curfews on youths in the city if they continue to be involved in out-of-control house parties and roam the streets at night committing mischief.

Just after announcing that the odor complaint hot line wasn’t providing solid leads of smelly incidents, we find that the treatment plant is leaking solids into the sound. From The Hour:
Overflow from a wastewater treatment plant caused the emergency closure of shellfish beds in Norwalk, Darien and Westport.
The beds will be closed for about a week while officials from the Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Aquaculture inspect the effects of the wastewater spill from the OMI water treatment plant.
