Alderman Louis Salvio’s attempt to tarnish the democratic council members with a conflict of interest charge, when in reality two of the council members abstained from voting with the third democrat being absent, certainly has boomeranged right back into his lap. Because two of his fellow Republican Commissioners are in the hot seat of conflict along with the exposure of the administration’s failure to file the necessary notice to HUD requesting a waiver for the democratic council member’s abstention action. Through this Alderman’s efforts, the City stands to lose enormous amounts of funding from the HUD Agency, approximating a sum of $264,248, for the cities under privileged as reported in our local newspapers.
And the worm turns.
ReplyDeleteThe Boomerang worked well for Salvio now there two less republicans on the HRA board.
ReplyDeleteA sad Republican.
ops----Salvio has done it again screwed his fellow republicans.
ReplyDeleteA happy Democrat.
alderman Salvio should think before he acts.
ReplyDeleteSalvio's adverse actions is certainly why citizens are reluctant to serve on commissions. I hope someone will get him to keep his big fat mouth shut in the future. Who needs to be dishonored like to two individuals who were fervantly on the HRA commission?
ReplyDeleteHis adverse actions should be curbed.
A citizen
What exactly does a “Community Organizer“do? Senator Barack Obama was a Community Organizer in Chicago – and the answer has left many Americans asking themselves that question?
ReplyDeleteNew Britain resident Elena Trueworthy is also a Community Organizer whose work centered on organizing low-income families in New Britain’s North-Oak neighborhoods
When asked what she has learned from her experience as a Community Organizer in the North-Oak neighborhood Elena Trueworthy offered four comments – that one can access in the publication: Free To Grow -http://www.rwjf.org/reports/npreports/connecticut.pdf
As the point person in this task the Human Resources Agency of New Britain (HRA) hired Elena Trueworthy, a 25 –year-old University of Connecticut graduate, with a savvy grasp of interpersonal relations and a flawless command of English and Spanish in the job of engaging Puerto Ricans residents as a political force.
Her strategy was to identify a small number of committed North-Oak residents and build on them. She began by going apartment to apartment explaining what a Community Organizer was all about. It’s all about visibility – and to recruit prospective community leaders from the ranks of low-income families, primarily mothers like Sylvia Cruz who became an Alderwomen in the City of New Britain.

9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force Gen.

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.
11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.
12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.
13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”
14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.
Since Alderman Paul D. Catanzaro might be tossing his hat into the ring as a Democrat candidate for Mayor's slot in 2009...and has his own Website...but no posting of what year he graduated from High School?
