A substantial portion of New Haven Attorney Stephen Mednick’s practice revolves around representing government entities or private parties working with governments.
In the past decade years Attorney Mednick has drafted new city charters for Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain and East Windsor.
Attorney Mednick has also represented the Towns of Darien and Portland on charter revision efforts. He has also restructured many of the central service structures for the City of Waterbury: procurement, civil service, ethics, administrative practices and pensions.
Attorney Mednick has revised the civil service regulations for the City of Hartford and is presently restructuring the procurement and affirmative action ordinances as well as completely re-writing Hartford's Code of Ordinances.
I wonder how an attorney hired by the Democrats will decide? If we are already paying the city attorney to interpret the charter for both the mayor and the council, why should the taxpayers foot the bill for an opinion from someone hand chosen by Sherwood and Trueworthy, at a cost of $20,000 for a simple opinion?

more staged theatrics at taxpayer expense. $20,000 could have gone to some good use.
These zealots will stop at nothing to push their liberal agenda, and they don't care what it costs the taxpayers in the process. It is about time for the people paying the bills for this nonsense being put forward by an immature child to say enough is enough! Isn't it obvious this so-called leader is way over his head, and incapable of leading anyone? Whoever said a little child shall lead them never met this poor excuse for a child!
The city attorney says "yes" the democrat hired gun attorney says "no". Will there be another attorney to decide "maybe"?
Move on already. To the city council; next year wait until September to pass your pro education, pro tax increase budget. That way the kids will be going to school. Imagine the props.
They D,s said the Mayor was abusing power. What the hell was last nights meeting, I just couldn't believe my eyes and ears, I have never seen such a gross abuse of power by the D's . I'm at a loss for words
Hats off to Alderman Carlozzi for voting NO, he seems to be the only Dem with common sense. Stand up for what's right and keep up the good work.
Obviously these fanatics couldn't care less what the taxpayers think because one after another spoke against this crapola and like always they ignored the people who are going to be forced to pay the higher taxes and rammed it through anyway similar to Obamacare being forced down our throats against the will of the people.

SPECIAL TO THE HERALD
NEW BRITAIN — Mayor Timothy Stewart announced Wednesday that the latest credit profile of New Britain’s finances released by credit rating agency Standard and Poor’s indicates that the outlook for the city’s general obligation bonds is “stable.”
S&P based its rating on the city’s “continued positive financial performance that has allowed for steady reserve growth toward it’s stated fund balance policy; it’s consistent budget practice of funding capital and nonrecurring spending at year end; and moderate debt burden, even when including pension obligation bonds.”
“Once again I am pleased that the city’s credit rating remains high despite the current difficult economic times facing our community and the entire state of Connecticut,” Stewart said. “The taxpayers of our city should be pleased that we are doing everything we can to maintain a sound business approach to spending and taxation and that we are avoiding becoming mired in debt like many other communities have become.”
Another point in the city’s favor is its efforts to maintain its unreserved fund balance at a level between 3 percent and 5 percent.
“This is one of the primary reasons why all facets of city government need to work together to control spending so that we do not find ourselves in a situation where we are dipping into our fund balance and jeopardizing our credit rating,” said Stewart.
Stewart pledged continued financial vigilance and to continue to make every effort to control city spending and to limit the burden on New Britain’s taxpayers."
Frank:
With all the attention and furor in today's Herald directed at the Council Meeting last night, obviously, many failed to see the article above on NB's bond rating. At least we can see that there is some "OBJECTIVE" news about New Britain.
So what happens when the attorney the radicals hired issues an opinion that contradicts our city attorney, will the Democrats then spend the city's money to take this to court to get a judge to rule in their favor? And what happens if they get a liberal judge who will base his ruling on his own political views, much like the Susan Byciewicz case where even the Democrats on the Supreme Court overturned the judge's ruling, because even a lay person could find no logic behind the ruling other than liberal politics.
So after all this, what happens, and more importantly, who pays for each and every stunt Sherwood and Trueworthy have planned?
YOU DO!
So get your check book ready!
If I recall, our government spent 50 million dollars defending President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky matter. One way or another, we wrote the check for that. He was however, impeached but nobody ever remembers or talks about that little aspect of his presidency.
Don't forget that Clinton and his wife were both disbarred, but no one ever likes to talk about how the star of their party and his wife are both disbarred attorneys. Only in the Democratic party can 2 pieces of crap like these be considered shining stars!
