FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Senator DeFronzo and Henry Zembko faced off about their differences. Jim Sargent also faced Rep. Joseph Aresimowicz.
This debate was sponsored by the league of Women Voters of New Britain.
Sargent told the audience that improving our public schools was number one on his list. The Senator agreed with Aresimowiecz who acknowledged that while education is important, his number one priority was jobs.
No wonder the Senator agreed with this scenario since during a recent CPOA meeting, his budget co-chairman admitted to failing to furnish education monies to New Britain because other communities had greater problems than new Britain’s.
Yes, Senator, candidate Zembko was absolutely correct with his citing that professional politicians are the problem. Where were you when the funding, or the lack thereof, was meted out for the New Britain School System?
How did you vote on the surcharge on businesses calling for a 30% tax on profits forcing many companies to leave the state--including UTC after December 5th.? Were you part of the problem, as a professional politician?
Senator, rumors have it that if the right governor candidate makes it, you will be appointed to a commissionership in his administration. Are you running in order to make room for another liberal to fill your vacated seat?
School Vouchers have been a constant desire of the parents and again rumors have been circulated that you opposed the vouchers out of loyalty to the unions without being concerned what is best for the children involved.
Why do you continue to sacrifice the best interests of the children simply to satisfy the unions--whose huge campaign donations finance your re-election campaign? In my opinion, you are selling your votes to the highest bidder, and the children are the ones who are suffering as a result.

Sounds like DeFronzo is working on building up his multiple government pensions. Must be nice to live your entire life off of the taxpayers!
Seems to me that Zembco agreed with most of what Don Defronso said at the debate. How the hell is he going to beat one of the most popular senators in the state by agreeing with him.
He needs to be more aggressive and show us his deep understanding of the issues.
Not only does he live off the government, he declared HIMSELF A CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR AND REFUSED TO SUPPORT HIS COUNTRY.
Is this the best that we can do? He does not even bring home the bacon to New Britain.
How much is Defronzo's state pension for his basically "no show" job?
He spent how many years as the union president, then how many years as mayor--all the time collecting his state salary, health care and earning a pension for those years of service?
Could this commissionership be an attempt to build the pension higher, at taxpayer expense?
What a great job, if you can get it!
Sorry to disappoint bud Zemco does not have much going on up in his intellectual library.
According to Sunlight.org, a state pension and a state salary at the same time?

If I was fortunate enough to rack up all these pension benefits, at the end of the day I would move down south to a Republican run (low tax) state where my democratic slush fund would have me living large.
What is this???!!! DeFronzo and his cronies put Tom Bozek through the mill a few years ago for multiple pensions...one for serving as State Senator, another as a retiree from the town of West Hartford, among others. Nothing wrong with that if you earned it, but don't criticize anyone if they legitimately earned it. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
