Sherwood maintains that he wants to create transparency in government, in ethics, in FOI, in disclosure of financial interests of elected officials. now this is what he actually does: (a) he introduces resolutions for the Council meeting at the very last minute without warning (he has the votes to do this) ;but Phil is an honorable man who professes transparency (b) at the close of the leadership meeting in the Mayor's office Tuesday evening Phil was asked, "will there be any additional resolutions prevented tomorrow night?" Answer, NO! A few minutes before the start of the Council meeting on Wednesday the budget resolution was placed on our desks! Even the other Democrats did not know about it. But Phil is an honorable man who professes transparency.(c) All Democratic caucuses are held behind closed doors before every Council meeting - something Phil accuses the Finance Board and others of doing - yet we must believe that Phil is an honorable man who professes to want transparency in government.
Definitely Phil is hypocritical in the same way that he was with his changes in the Ethics, FOI and Disclosure regulations; Phil changed the disclosure regulations Wednesday night. But, don't forget, Phil is an honorable man who professes transparency in government! YEAH, RIGHT!
Just another Phil Sherwood trick to try to cast aspersions on the current administration and create whatever havoc he can. In the end it will do little except get some people nervous about something that will not happen.

Common council makes open government history
Proposed budget will be available ONLINE for taxpayers
By RICK GUINNESS Read it on

Any proposals in the preliminary budget for increase are the direct result of union contracts, which are non negotiable. Who gets union backing, Phil Sherwood and the democrats. Who answers to the unions and owes them big time?
Phil Sherwood, would have had our New Britain Walmart forced into union contract so they ran from New Britain. Thanks Phony Phil.
Job losses, empty building, lack of local retail shopping.
Hey Frank you should think about sensoring the posts on your site especially from the lunatic Guinness and his minions. Read his rants once and you can quickly see this man needs a rubber room not a venue to spew his "man love" for Mayor Stewart. Maybe it is all about being on SSDI that makes people that way? Hummmm....
