We are at a loss to understand why the state Department of
Transportation wants to give East Lyme Boy Scout troops such a hard
time over doing a good deed.

For 25 years on Labor Day weekend the Scouts have served coffee and
doughnuts around the clock to weary drivers at the weigh stations on
Interstate 95 in Waterford.

Drivers get a needed break. The Scouts take pride in providing a
service. Donations collected help the Boy Scouts and other local
groups.

Who could object?

Unfortunately, the bureaucrats at the DOT, that's who.
