Nip and drug litter at the corner of Whalley and Osborn avenues.
The city is looking to curb the number of nip bottles littering sidewalks, public parks, and storm drains by pushing for a statewide bottle deposit for the popular alcohol miniatures. It should not expect to find much support among city liquor store owners.
Among the candidates (clockwise from top left): Oz Griebel, Erin Stewart, Prasad Srinivasan, Susan Bysiewicz, Tim Herbst, Jonathan Harris, Joe Ganim, Mark Boughton.

Whether or not other mayors join her, Mayor Toni Harp has instructed her legal staff to prepare a lawsuit against the state for failing to reimburse New Haven fully for revenue lost on tax-exempt properties.
Guy Smith preferred to talk about how he’ll beat “career politicians” to become Connecticut’s next governor. Not what he said decades ago about Bill Clinton’s extramarital conduct or about Philip Morris’s anti-anti-smoking efforts.
