The League of Women Voters "A Real Asset"

The league of Women Voters of the New Britain Area serves a tremendous service to the voters in their holding public forums with their having the public officials present their views of current financial problems being faced by local governments.

What is sad such a meeting was held yesterday, at the First Church of Christ Congregational, in New Britain Connecticut featuring the City’s Council membership. Sadly, not all the New Britain Council members attended and there were also a mere attendance from the general public due to a lack of interest regarding the problems the general public will be facing with increase taxes.

“Because of the wrong directions that Washington has taken in the recent years.”

Many Questions were asked of the Alderman that attended and their answers presented astounding current problems that all major cities such as New Britain face. I will present those issues in the near future giving time for my review of my notes.

The League will be presenting future debates with the state and congressional legislative members and I certainly hope additional public input will be generated through more attendance which would help the officials involved to be guided by the those questions presented so they can subsequently proceed in representing the citizens.

Remember, I will render summation of the Alderman’s presentations in the near future.
