  1. Mr. Bailkin, the city's downtown development planner, announced to the city council, regarding police station project, that he indented to build a 250 unit apartment building adjacent to the proposed police building but received opposition from the state's CHFA department stating that City of New Britain couldn't support this new structure however, he was able to convince them to support l65 units instead but indicated the financing is problematic.

    Recently, your blog contained a post about Alderman Phil Sherwood entitled, "The Mean Spirited Majority Leader." That post was in evidence totally at last night's update to the Council re Police Station and another proposed downtown project.

    Phil Sherwood is in my opinion an egomaniac. He is not interested in anyone else's opinion especially if it disagrees with his. He is bent usurping our City Charter and in particular, the powers of The Mayor. His egomanial nastiness was in evidence in full force last night as well as his desire to be the "uberczar' of all things in the city be it development, ethics, ordinances, etc. He even decided last night that he is now an "Art" guru, saying that nothing in the design of the Police station resmbles art. Move over, Picasso, here comes the great Sherwood.

    His comments last night always contained a totally nasty, and negative aspect dwarfing some of his memorable ones such as "where's the beef" and forcing WalMart out of town. Last night his tagets were, Kaestle Booz and Downes Construction. Some of his accusations were off color assertions and at one point, he even made an inappropriate remark to Alderman Trueworthy apparently in jest but nonetheless, personally denigrating.

    Mr. Sherwood to me, is an ingnificant piece of humanity who like the "supreme, National self appointed Messiah" has been sharpened to a good for nothing point! His arrogance and complete disregard for anyone else's feelings is out of control.

    As Jim Sanders, Jr. suggested at a recent Council meeting, Sherwood should be removed from office. Sherwood is a blight on the face of New Britain politics.
