water treatment facility on Cronk Road. After state grants are accounted for, the town’s share of the project is around $9 million, which is being financed through state bonds with a 2 percent interest rate. The study was done by the engineering firm Tighe and Bond. The project is ahead of schedule and should be completed in April, about three months ahead of the original date. Equipment is being installed to remove phosphorus from wastewater before it’s discharged See Rate, A7

Choral OK’d to perform hymns The Senior Center’s Choral Group can continue to sing religious hymns during performances following a ruling by the town’s attorney.

“Based upon a concern expressed by a member of the Plainville Senior Center Choral Group, the Committee on Aging reviewed their longstanding practice regarding religious hymns

being sung during their performances. After conferring with the town attorney, the new practice that was adopted will allow for religious hymns to be sung if it fit the theme of the program,” Town Manager Robert Lee said during the Sept. 16 Town Council meeting. The Senior Center singers’ 2019-20 season began this month.

Shawn Cohen, the center’s director, said at the end of the group’s season last spring she received some questions from members about whether it was appropriate for a town-sponsored group to perform religious songs. “I had gotten some questions from members of the choral group that we were doing hymns each time,” See Choral, A12

STATE

Gov. Lamont: Forget spending projected surplus By Keith Phaneuf © The Connecticut Mirror

Gov. Ned Lamont used his routine, monthly budget forecast Friday to send an unconventional message to the General Assembly: Please put requests to restore spending or repeal tax hikes on hold. At first glance, the $84.3 million surplus projection issued by the Office of Policy and Management is hardly a sharp warning, even given that the budget’s General Fund was designed to run $141 million in the black.

It is not quite three months into the new fiscal year. Tax receipts and other revenues are on schedule. Revenue shortfalls usually are the culprit behind any major deficit.

The last few administrations rarely disclosed spending problems during the first quarter of the fiscal year, noting there was plenty of time to cut costs elsewhere before June 30.

The administration is projecting nearly $57 million in cost overruns, including $30 million in Medicaid, $20 million in legal settlements and other adjudicated claims and $6 million in the Department of Correction.

“This month’s revision reflects the reality of managing a state budget across the course of an entire fiscal year,” said Melissa McCaw, Lamont’s budget director. “We must and will remain vigilant to keep ourselves in balance and to keep this state on the right track financially.”

On the other hand, the fiscal year doesn’t end for another nine months and 10 days.

Report: 2,800 jobs added in August By Keith Phaneuf The Connecticut Mirror

Connecticut added 2,800 jobs in August, but its unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.6 percent, the state Department of Labor reported Thursday, Sept. 19. The labor department also revised totals this week for July, upgrading the 100-job loss it initially reported last month to a gain of 1,600 positions. Job gains don’t automatically translate into a reduction in the unemployment rate. That’s because it reflects not only those employed, but also those who are available to work and actively seeking employment. “We saw gains in six of the 10 major industry sectors,” said Andy Condon, director of the Labor Department’s Office of Research. But “in addition, the labor force grew for the first time in many months.” Connecticut now has recovered 83.5% or 100,400 of the 120,300 jobs it lost in the last recession, which ran from March 2008 to January 2010.

Don Klepper-Smith, an economist with DataCore Partners, said Connecticut now has gained a modest 400 jobs between December 2018 and August 2019.

growth out in time, we see that the state’s economy is not likely to see full job recovery until mid-2021 based on existing labor market fundamentals,” said KlepperSmith, who was state government’s chief economic advisor in the late 2000s under then-Gov. M. Jodi Rell.

OLD LYMEGary “Gnazz” G. Gnazzo, 77, of Old Lyme, CT, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family and friends on Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2019. He had been the loving husband of Jane (Landon) Gnazzo for 45 years. Gary was born in Bristol on Sept. 13, 1942 to the late Joseph and Eva Mae (Teller) Gnazzo. He grew up in Plainville and had been a longtime Old Lyme resident. Gary proudly served his country in the U. S. Army during the Vietnam Era. After returning from the service, alongside his father Joe, he started the Joseph Gnazzo Co. As President, Gary grew the business and left his mark throughout New England through many notable projects, such as the Solider’s and Sailors Memorial Arch at Bushnell Park, the Breakers in Newport, R.I., the State House in Boston, MA, the Colt Dome in Hartford and numerous projects at Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Yale University, Brown University and Trinity College. He also owned and operated Snow Country Snow Mobile Rentals in Okemo, VT. Gary enjoyed both of his homes in Old Lyme and in Killington, VT. He loved boating, skiing, snowmobiling, his Harley, his yellow ‘34 Ford and his dogs. He had a fun-loving manner and an uncanny ability to tell a joke. “Uncle Gary” enjoyed watching the kids play on the beach and was always patient and entertaining. He will be deeply missed by many, especially his beach family

who will always remember him by his favorite saying, “You’re the best!” In addition to his wife Jane, he is survived by daughter Cindy Binch of Old Lyme, son, Michael Gnazzo his wife Beth of Columbia , CT, four grandchildren, Parker and Ilona Binch and Kelsa and Luca Gnazzo and one brother Richard Gnazzo of Farmington, 4 nephews, Jesse Gnazzo, Joey Barrieau, Bobby Barrieau and Michael Braun and one niece, Beth Wolf.

And Republicans have not offered any complementary proposal to increase other revenues or reduce spending by a balancing amount.

But Osten added that her fellow Democrats in the House and Senate majorities “understand we still have to have a sense of frugality. Nobody is looking to overhaul the whole budget.” If rate cuts were reversed, for example, for nine nursing homes, this would increase spending by $5.3 million over two years or about $2.65 million per year. That represents 1/73rd of 1 percent of the General Fund. Osten also noted state government’s overall fiscal position has steadily improved over the past two years.

The ruling, which was announced at the Sept. 3 Commission on Aging meeting, stipulates that if the group allows hymns, it cannot prohibit performances from any religion, and that the hymns match the theme chosen for the group’s performances.
