    Lou Salvio is the type of guy who is always fighting for what he believes is right for the people of New Britain, regardless of party affiliation. It is amazing that he is willing to keep fighting against the elitist Democrats on the council who are constantly trying to push their radical agenda. We are lucky to have someone like Lou who is willing to fight for the will of the people.
