Mistake in budget story

The story "Litchfield BOE, finance board disagree on $16 million budget plan" mistakenly referred to the budget presented by the superintendent of schools as the 2012-13 budget, when it was in fact the 2013-14 budget. It also said the budget was a 2.95 increase on the 2011-12 budget, instead of correctly stating it is an increase on the 2012-13 budget. We apologize for the error.

Cancer center will relocate, but not necessarily out of town

A front page headline in the print edition of the Nov. 12 Register Citizen and earlier online version of this story mistakenly reported that Charlotte Hungerford Hospital's Center for Cancer Care is "leaving town."
Federal regulations that govern the center's planned partnership with Yale-New Haven Hospital require it to be located within 35 miles of York Street in New Haven, but that would allow locations on the South End of Torrington in addition to Litchfield and points south, not require it to be placed "in the Thomaston area" as we reported.
A full explanation of our mistake can be found here.
A column about how the mistake was made and why we decided to run a correction on the front page, where the mistake happened, can be found here.

No charges for Torrington man

In the Aug. 9 Register Citizen Police Blotter, both in print and online, charges and a court appearance date were originally incorrectly listed for Biende Berroa of Torrington. Berroa was not arrested on those charges, and subsequently did not appear in court to face the charges. The Blotter has been corrected online. This correction will appear in the print edition on Aug. 10.

Greenberg's outside contributions top $283k

In the July 10 Register Citizen print story "Greenberg on the attack: Candidate comes out swinging with criticisms of Wilson-Foley, Donovan," it was indicated that 5th District candidate Mark Greenberg received only $3,825 in outside campaign contributions during the last reporting period. While that number is correct, it should be noted that to date he has received more than $283,000 in contributions from outsiders since the start of the campaign.
