CANDIDATE NEEDS A HISTORY LESSON

EDITORIAL

Senator Christopher Dodd introduced the "Supporting Military Families Act of 2009" and Representative Tim O’Brien, who is not working with Senator Dodd but is a mayoral candidate for the City of New Britain, decided to jump on Dodd’s band wagon with his calling for military honors for the Polish solders who fought under the Polish flag. The National Guard Military honor chief issued a new edict citing that foreign veterans would no longer be given military honors at their funerals.

Therefore Mr. O’Brien in his attempt at unseating the current Mayor, Timothy Stewart, in today’s New Britain Herald 7-31-09, is calling for the military honors for the Polish soldiers who fought under the allied flag during World War II-- citing that they are part of the community too and should receive the recognition that they deserve from the United States.

I deem it to be a cheap political tactic in trying to obtain the Polish votes in the upcoming election while forgetting so many other servicemen who served as our allies. The complete list of U.S. allies included in addition to Poland: Great Britain, USSR, Australia, Albania, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Greece, India, Luxembourg, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, The Philippines, South Africa, and Yugoslavia. Don't members of the armed forces of these nations deserve honoring as well? Apparently their votes do not count to Mr. O'Brien, or should they?

Perhaps Representative O'Brien should focus on doing the job the voters already elected him to do and deliver the state a working budget--since we have now been operating without a budget for an entire month!

The Democratic Ticket—The Unethical Slate of Candidates: EDITORIAL

The Democratic Party has earned the title of the unethical party. They have among their endorsed slate of candidates, Paul Catanzaro whom they have seen fit to nominate for re-election in November. This is an Alderman who cost the city badly needed funding through his multiple conflicts of interest that were so egregious that even the federal government refused to provide badly needed funding to city programs because of his conflicts involving having been president of H.R.A. and an alderman at the same time.

Then there is the issue of his being an employee of the Parks Department, while voting on issues that effect his department and even voting against contracting out of Parks Department work-- thereby creating the possible availability of overtime for himself, but the pièce de résistance is when he recently spoke on, and then voted against his own ethics commission report finding him in violation of city ethics policies. According to the city charter, any member of the council who is heard to speak on, or who votes on an issue in which he has a personal interest shall be expelled from the council.

When he did this, it was in the presence of his 13 fellow Democrats, on the public record and televised to the public on community access television, so there is no disputing what happened. Catanzaro was even quoted by a local newspaper as saying that if he didn’t vote on his own issue, then he couldn’t speak on it, so he decided to vote so he could address the council—in direct violation of the charter.

What earns the Democratic candidates the title of the unethical slate of candidates is that not only did they vote to reject the bi-partisan, unanimous findings of their own ethics commission against their cohort, but they also failed to perform their sworn duty of office to remove Catanzaro from the council as the charter mandated under the circumstances that they were all witness to and sworn to uphold.

Of course he is not the only one of the Democratic Aldermen who failed to pay his/her property taxes until he was exposed on this blog, but it at least deserves him a mention on that issue here too. The alderman who also works full time for the city Parks Department was quoted as saying that he couldn’t pay his $248.48 car tax bill until he received his tax refund—but of course the rest of us who aren’t elected to the council and who don’t receive a salary from the city are expected to pay on time.

For the party to nominate this individual with such a history of conflicts of interest and unethical behavior is as outrageous as the Democratic Party nominating Chris Dodd for re-election and deserves to be just as popular.

THE OBAMA DILEMMA ON THE ECONOMY!

EDITORIAL:
Rising to ten per cent unemployment and attempting to add or force his socialized medical plan onto the American public even though the medical profession claims it will not work.

His stimulus plan is bankrupting America as we knew it.

Our capitalistic system is disappearing with the Socialist and Marxist take over that is being orchestrated by our president.

With the economy tanking and unemployment count growing each day; it is amazing that the Congressional Democratic Party hasn’t decided to put a stop to all this nonsense.

It can only be assumed that more tea parties are required to bring about the change that we as voters thought we were voting for. This kind of change is needed immediately by putting an end to the socialist takeover of our government.
Remember the stimulus package that was passed by the Congress? We will never be able to pay the interest cost which will bring about the demise of America within a few short years.

Our national debt is $12 trillion. The unfunded Social Security liability is $11 Trillion, and our Medicare unfunded liability is approximately $48 Trillion. Obama, during his first six months, has raised our entire debt to a sum of $71 Trillion with the help of 32 czars that were never vetted by Congress and by rushing his stimulus via Speaker Pelosi without anyone reading the entire proposal. Now the president is demanding that Congress ram through socialized medicine by passing a bill that even he admits he never read.

My greatest fear is that even God cannot help us out of this dilemma.

Representative O’Brien: More Spreading of Your Wealth!

Editorial

Representative O’Brien joined his fellow Democrats in overriding the Governor’s veto on House Bill 6502, which became Public Act 09-183 as a result of their veto override.



This act grants better benefits to contractors performing work in state facilities than even state employees would get for similar work, and does so at taxpayer (YOUR) expense. The act includes just about any contractor performing work for the state, and even extends to businesses providing food services by operating a franchise at a state facility like a DOT rest area, university or hospital cafeteria and more.



It mandates that these private employers provide their employees a wage based on the state’s “prevailing wage” for similar jobs, and also requires these employers to provide the following benefits: Medical, Surgical or Hospital Care, Disability or Death Benefits,

Unemployment Benefits, Vacation Pay, Personal Leave, Training Benefits, Legal Services and Benefits.



The act even goes so far as to mandate that if the state changes contractors, for example the employees of the contractor that is being terminated are not performing their work to the state’s satisfaction, all the employees of the company being terminated are guaranteed a new job with the new contractor. Yes that is current, it dictates to the private employer who he/she must hire and prohibits that employer from firing that employee for a minimum of 90 days, and if some state bureaucrat feels that employee is performing their work satisfactorily, that private employer may never terminate that employee even beyond the 90 day period. Stop me if I am wrong, but isn’t that communism when the government dictates to private citizens who they must hire?



One of the areas these liberals have been praising about this act, is that it apparently provides free health care to all of these contract employees, and their families and children--all at state (YOUR) expense. This is even greater than the benefits provided to current state employees. According to the state comptroller, Nancy Wyman, a current employee must pay between $17.74 to $68.74 per pay period for health care insurance just for the employee (depending on the plan selected) and for employees with families, the rates are $61.69 to 235.92 per pay period, but now employees of a private employer are going to apparently receive these benefits for free from YOU!



Apparently the legislature, along with Mr. O’Brien, just don’t understand that we have a $9 billion budget deficit, a record number of business closures in our state, a record number of taxpayers moving out of state, and still they seem to think they can just keep increasing spending as if the money grows on trees.

A Responsible Corporation - Editorial By Frank Smith

Why did Representatives Tim O’Brien, D-24th District and Peter Tercyak, D-26th District, joined by Alderman Catanzaro, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 371 Brian Petronella, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal with more than 20 blue-shirted protestors from the Working Families Party protest in front of the New Britain Wal-Mart store?

John Green, the director of the Working Families Party was quoted as saying that the rally was called because of "corporate greed" exhibited by Wal-Mart and an alleged threat to deprive workers of severance pay.

Apparently these community agitators are of the belief that if a company intends to make a profit from its investment, then that is being greedy. My understanding from the remarks at this rally is that they are of the belief that a company like Wal-Mart should continue to run a store that is losing money "for the good of the community."

For those agitators that have never held a private sector job, that is called welfare and has no place in the private sector. Management has a duty to its investors to either make the store profitable, or cut the cancer. Contrary to widely held liberal beliefs, corporations do not exist for the purpose of creating jobs. They exist to market a product or service with the intent to make a profit, and create jobs in the pursuit of producing this product or service "for profit." Despite the liberal philosophy that was just demonstrated by some of our misguided elected representatives, profit is not a dirty word, but in fact is at the route of our entire economic system.

THE MOTIVE FOR THIS UNWARRANTED DISPLAY WAS APPARENTLY INTENDED TO SHORE UP O’BRIEN’S CANDIDACY FOR THE UP-COMING ELECTIONS IN THE EYES OF SOME LIBERAL EXTREMISTS.

Wal-Mart has always been a responsible identity throughout the USA. Why would they endanger their image with the buying public? This display has done little more than damage any hopes of encouraging Wal-Mart to expand in Connecticut--especially any future locations in New Britain.

Representative Tim O’Brien: Not Prepared to Lead?

Representative Tim O’Brien recently announced his plan to run for Mayor of New Britain on a promise to return manufacturing jobs to New Britain. This is a novel, but unrealistic idea considering that the majority of manufacturing jobs were moved either to more business friendly states, or overseas to countries where labor markets are much cheaper.



Representative O’Brien has demonstrated through his voting record in the legislature that he has helped this state to create an anti-business climate through votes like the one on Monday where he voted to override the Governor and forced through the Sustinet plan without any plans to pay for it. Even the Hartford Courant today questioned the ability of the Sustinet plan to sustain itself. Additionally, how many businesses will be anxious to locate here if the Democrats get their way and pass the 25% income tax on business income—another measure that Representative O’Brien supported.



More telling of his agenda was how just today Representative O’Brien appeared at a rally for the employees of Wal-Mart. This is a familiar venue for him, because he was present at previous rallies and protests, along with New Britain Alderman Phil Sherwood who brought his ACORN PALS with him, at this same store-- which some even believe is at least partially responsible for the company’s decision to close this store. Representative O’Brien clearly and publicly took the side of the employees against the employer. This sends a terrible message to any company that might consider locating to New Britain when its elected officials are appearing to lead public protests against employers. If he were elected mayor, what employer would be willing to meet with someone who has a history of leading protests against other employers?



In my opinion, this showed that he is just not ready to lead, since a leader or chief executive needs to remain impartial in such disputes. Let us not lose track of the fact that Wal-Mart is a taxpayer and has certain rights and expectations from their elected representatives, especially if that representative has plans to persuade that same employer to locate to his city in the future.

Representative Tim O’Brien: Out of Touch with His Constituents, Out of Touch With Reality!

EDITORIAL


On Monday, Representative Tim O’Brien joined his fellow extremists in the legislature in voting to override Governor Rell’s veto of HB 6600, a bill that created “universal health care” here in Connecticut a/k/a the Sustinet plan.



The plan describes itself as “health care that is universal” and provides some great benefits to recipients at state taxpayer expense:



Medical Home Services

Inpatient and outpatient hospital care

Generic and name brand prescription drugs

Laboratory and x-ray services

Durable medical equipment

Speech, physical and occupational therapy

Home health care

Vision care

Family planning

Emergency transportation

Hospice

Prosthetics

Podiatry

Short-term rehabilitation

Identification and treatment of developmental delays (up to age 3)

Wellness programs

Dental Care

Mental and Behavioral Health (including tobacco cessation, substance abuse, and prevention of and treatment of obesity)



Quite an impressive list, especially for those of you who have employer provided plans that probably cover only the basic health care needs. When vetoing this measure, Governor Rell warned that it would cost the taxpayers at least $1 billion per year to pay for it, and with a $9 billion budget deficit already in existence, it was irresponsible to spend so much money without any substantial plan to pay for it.



On the same day that this vote was held, WTIC radio conducted a poll of Connecticut residents. That poll showed that 80% opposed the legislature in overriding any of Governor Rell’s vetoes. Also on that same day, Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz reported that we set a new record in this state, but not one we should be proud of.



According to Bysiewicz, a fellow Democrat, a record number of businesses closed down in Connecticut during the first six months of 2009. The report said that 7,000 businesses shut down in that six month period, the largest number of business closings for any six month period since these records have been maintained. The only solutions the legislature offered to pay for these items were huge tax increases that included a 25% tax on all business income and seizing 30% of inheritances. You work hard all your life to put some money away, and the legislature wants to seize almost one third of it before you can leave it to your children, and with record numbers of businesses already ceasing operations in Connecticut, I am sure that seizing one quarter of their income is really going to encourage new businesses and create jobs for our state.



This is just one example of the irresponsible measures that Representative O’Brien has supported in the legislature, and now he wants to bring this same tax and spend entitlement attitude to city hall. This leaves one question, who will be paying for all the entitlements he loves to support once he arrives in city hall?

Timothy O'Brien Announces Run For New Britain Mayor - Courant.com

By: Don Stacom

EDITORIAL---Phil Sherwood: More Racism, More Spending Ideas, More Rhetoric?

Alderman Phil Sherwood was recently quoted as protesting racism at the New Britain Wal-Mart store. Sherwood reportedly blamed the so-called racism on Wal-Mart’s lack of Spanish speaking managers. The bottom line is that Sherwood and his supporters organized protests and now for some reason (multiple reasons have been offered) Wal-Mart is closing this store.



Sherwood appeared recently on the evening news protesting the Governor’s cuts to clinics that provide free services to people living with the HIV virus. I reported at that time that he was full of ideas on how the Governor should continue to spend all of our money, but with a projected $9 billion budget deficit, he did not offer one solution on how to pay for any of this spending he seems to like so much.



Now Sherwood has another issue where he sees racism and an opportunity to spend more of our money. The Herald quoted Sherwood as saying: “We must provide quality, affordable health care to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, or income.” (“Study shows disparities in health care for minorities”, July 16, The Herald by Jim Craven).



Lately I have noticed that much of what Sherwood seems to say either involves claims of racism or ideas to spend more money through taxation. In this latest effort, he managed to find both—how lucky he must have felt! I believe this is a left wing attempt to make the health care reform plan into a racist issue similar to the way that anyone opposing President Obama’s socialist agenda is called a racist by left-wing extremists. This time Sherwood is definitely in the minority. The latest Rasmussen Report (one of the nation’s most accurate and respected polling services) reported that the majority of Americans oppose the President’s health care plan and the numbers are 2 to 1 for those who strongly oppose it versus those who strongly support it (Rasmussen July 10-11, 2009 telephone poll).



I am sitting on the edge of my chair waiting for the next issue where he can find involves racism, or that he can suggest spending more of our hard earned money on, or most likely both.

Health Care Plan By Senator Dodd a Farce.

Senator Dodd’s adverse health plans that will make you wait in line: 13,000,000 health care insurance workers will lose their jobs if this bill is enacted.

"If you are happy with your current health care, you can keep it"---Just another lie being spread by Obama. I just found this posted on the Fox Nation web site:

SEC. 104. PROHIBITION AGAINST DUPLICATING COVERAGES.
(a) In General- It is unlawful for a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act.
(b) Construction- Nothing in this Act shall be construed as prohibiting the sale of health insurance coverage for any additional benefits not covered by this Act, such as for cosmetic surgery or other services and items that are not medically necessary.

SEC. 102. BENEFITS AND PORTABILITY.

(a) In General- The health care benefits under this Act cover all medically necessary services, including at least the following:
(1) Primary care and prevention.
(2) Inpatient care.
(3) Outpatient care.
(4) Emergency care.
(5) Prescription drugs.
(6) Durable medical equipment.
(7) Long-term care.
(8) Palliative care.
(9) Mental health services.
(10) The full scope of dental services (other than cosmetic dentistry).
(11) Substance abuse treatment services.
(12) Chiropractic services.
(13) Basic vision care and vision correction (other than laser vision correction for cosmetic purposes).
(14) Hearing services, including coverage of hearing aids.
(15) Podiatric care.
What is private Insurance companies going to cover????
They will be gone along with our choices.

This is apparently what Connecticut Senator Dodd is so proud of!

Editorial

The Democratic sub-committee informational meeting held at the Diloreto School last night to discuss the Pinnacle Heights project was somewhat a complete scam since it was formally announced by Mayor Stewart that the purchaser would not be able to make this meeting but did arrange to make the August 4th meeting along with the hospital garage matter which is scheduled for that same date.

Good comments were made by a local school teacher, Tammy Bacho, suggesting the necessity of providing activities to be addressed for our youth such as a movie theater, along with new businesses that would relieve the city’s tax payers which would also help support the school system of New Britain.

The most disturbing portion of this meeting were comments made by Mr. Carlo Carlozzi,a member of the Democratic Town Committee, expressing his concern that the developer was not in attendance when he rightfully knew that mayor Stewart had announced that this developer would not be able to attend this informational meeting due to vacation schedules, but did agree to attend the August 4th. meeting.

The comments by Mr. Carlozzi left this writer with the impression that his efforts were simply to make Mayor Stewart look bad when that mayor had made his previous public announcement at the last Council meeting of the Common Council.

As a member of the Democratic Party I was appalled with the comments made by a fellow Democrat Carlozzi.

I was also very much disappointed with the informational meeting presentation by the Democratic council when this matter could have been addressed with questions directly to the contractor and or purchaser at the August 4th. meeting.

“What a waste of time for all who attended" A low number of eleven people from the public.
