Mrs. Lori Mulligan is known by many in Greenwich as a math teacher, but on Tuesday after school she switched hats to take up her role as North Mianus School Girl Scout Daisy leader for Troop 50126. After school, Mrs. Mulligan, along with Assistant Troop Leader Samantha Milligan-Guzman and Mrs. Mulligan’s daughter Blair from NMS grade 3 Brownie troop 50376, and all 20 Daisies in the troop headed to Tod’s Point to earn a clean-up badge.

However, it was notable that unlike the Kings Market application seeking to strike the 1,000 ft separation for liquor stores, which drew an outcry from independent package store owners, no restaurant owners spoke out in favor or opposed to Sweat Pea’s application.
