• Darien Tries Again To Kill Decades-Old Environmental Committee (patch.com) — Darien residents should know the City Council is preparing to vote on whether to disband the city's nearly 40-year-old Environmental Committee, citing inactivity and organizational problems. Officials say environmental issues now need more professional input and note other volunteer groups already handle some topics, while the committee chair has suggested a private club might work better than a formal city body.
