Why did the Town of Sherman manufacture a panic over a legally registered drone flight? Because they didn't want taxpayers looking at the ledgers.

For years, First Selectman Don Lowe has claimed to be a financial genius keeping Sherman's taxes low. But public records and FOIA requests reveal a profound institutional failure: a $2.3 million hoarded surplus, a 70% projected administrative salary increase, and an intentional "demolition by neglect" strategy that saddled the town with an apocalyptic $42.8 million mega-bond for the Sherman School.

When Sherman CT News pointed a camera at the physical evidence of this multi-million dollar negligence, the administration weaponized 911 dispatchers, the State Police, and the FAA to silence the investigation. They aren't threatened by a drone. They are terrified of the receipts.
