The Sandy Hook Permanent Memorial Commission met earlier this month to get an update on scaled back designs.  Seating around the central element of the memorial, a tree and reflecting pool, has been reduced but not eliminated.  Tricia Pinto, whose son Jack was killed on 12-14, suggested the possibility of using the stone benches that were donated and in the possession of a local resident to line the path down to the memorial in alphabetical order.  The size specifications for the benches need to be given to SWA.  The goal is to have a budget proposal on the ballot in November.
