Governor Janet Mills visited Stonington on May 21 to stand on the waterfront and announce the launch of a new commission on climate infrastructure. The commission is charged, Mills said, to create the “state’s first long-term infrastructure plan” following all of the major winter storms. Members of the governor’s cabinet were on hand to solicit ideas from the public about priorities for the commission. Elsewhere, schools are in the news. Community School District 13 held its annual budget meeting, and the annual schools report from the Superintendent of Schools is included in this week's content. Finally, we have a feature story about the meaning of Memorial Day, plus a list of local remembrance events.
