Hillary Clinton said Monday she had met with the family of Philando Castile, the 32-year-old cafeteria worker who was shot and killed by a cop during a traffic stop in a St. Paul, Minnesota, suburb. She described them as courageous, NBC News reported, and told the American Federation of Teachers convention in Minneapolis that the country had been “confronted with tragedy too many times recently.” “We cannot let this madness continue,” she said. “This violence cannot stand.” She also praised the work of police officers in keeping communities safe, turning to the ambush killings of cops in Dallas, Texas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Kennebunk, Maine, is still recovering from Friday's nor'easter and is now bracing for another. The area could receive more than a foot of snow by Thursday night.
"It's just going to add insult to injury," said resident Tami York, taking in the damage on Beach Avenue on Wednesday.
The impact is evident, including washed-out roads and sidewalks and damaged seawalls.
"As soon as we get better access, we're going to be doing investigations on our sea walls, roads and culverts," said Public Services Director Eric Labelle. "There may be some compromised areas."
Beach Avenue has been closed since last Friday, and may not re-open until this Friday.
Several homes in the area have sustained serious damage.
"I think it's going to be a long time before it all gets cleaned out, and it's going to be an expense," said Kennebunk resident Rich Post.
