New Beach Sand Among Cuts in Darien Budget DARIEN, Conn. – The sand won't be replaced at either town beach and the Senior Center won't see more programs after Darien's Board of Selectmen proposed nearly $940,000 in cuts in the 2012-13 budget in an effort to keep spending increases in check.

As elected officials, it is our duty to maintain decorum, which does not include booing and hissing at speakers at the podium or inappropriately chastising their opinions. As Americans we are entitled to free speech, but as gover…
