FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Schaller's proposal is to purchase their old location on veterans drive for their needed expansion plans, requesting a tax relief for two years during the construction, but the installed equipment would be taxable in the year of 2011.
The majority leader expressed his comparing his excitement with his citing that we cannot do that for all these requests because of the bad economy while Alderman Trueworhty questioned the exact location of this building.
Alderman Carlo Carlozzi. Jr.jump in expressing it's a win win for the city.
Amazingly, all voted for the proposal with the exception of Alderman Adam Platosz by his casting a no vote.
I agree with Alderman Carlozzi...it's a win win for the city, with auto dealers closing down in town over the past couple of years, et al Tufano's and others. Would the council rather have no prospective business expansion in town? Schaller's has been in business for many years; the location is right off the highway on the New Britain Kensington LIne...a no brainer for investment reasons.
ReplyDeleteAdam Plotacz is apparently not voting for anything until he finds his long sought after Chinese hot dogs.
ReplyDeleteIs Adam the one who sits there with the blank daze of a stare on his face (comatose appearing) until they tell him it is time to vote?
ReplyDeletesounds like a typical mushbrain brain dead democrap

....I always thought he is the one who is usually sound asleep...
Maybe I have my Dumbocrats mixed up?
After watching the endless circus put on by Trueworthy and Sherwood last night, I was left with the idea that maybe they were never taught the lesson of the Boy Who Cried Wolf?
ReplyDeleteThe moral of the story is that these 2 self impressed minions of little mack talk endlessly on any and every subject that is pending before the council. The public must be growing insulated to their endless bloviating--so much so that maybe some day even these 2 idiots may actually have a legitimate issue to raise, and just like what happened to the Boy Who Cried Wolf, no one will pay any attention.
Perhaps they need to stop trying to impress everyone with their long-winded displays, stop their obstructionism, and actually do the job they were elected to do by working with the mayor and other councilors to address the problems facing the city?
I know that suggesting that a Democrat do the job he was elected to do is like believing in Santa Claus, but being that we are in the holiday season, one can hope, can't he?
you might be confusing Adam with Cantano.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats who talk, especially Trueworthy and Sherwood, speak mostly when there is a video camera. Other than that they have nothing to say.
ReplyDelete'Catanzaro runs a lawn mower and a trash collecting job for Parks & Rec. Canzaro wants to be Mayor? Give us all a break!
Platosh is a sad case with nothing to say except, NO.
PLEASE: Someone call that village in New Hampshire!
ReplyDeleteI would be interested in hearing what reason the one hold out had for trying to block such a prominent business from expanding in New Britain. A personal agenda maybe???

I've heard that Adam said he voted no because Schaller doesn't sell GM autos.
Wake up call to Adam. Even GM does make a totally USA produced auto. Many parts are produced out of the country.
Adam gets the knuclehead of the year award.
"... indented move" ? I believe the d and the t in indented should be transposed.
ReplyDeleteI guess Frank should have been given the opportunity of school vouchers so he could have attended an elitist private school like Obama's children, instead of having been forced by no choice to attend an inferior unionized inner city school.
ReplyDeleteThen he might be better suited to spell correctly because he would have had teachers who actually cared about their students' success.
Why do all the knucleheads continue to vote for him?? Do we have a city full of Democratic knuckeleheads? God help us.
ReplyDeletecould be he gets the votes of all the owners of the restaurants he frequents. ever wonder why no one shows a photo of anything but his face?

I believe that the writer meant to say, "Even GM doesn't make..." Also, it is "knucklehead."

Frank: It must be heartening to you to have people like the well educated commenter above contribute to your blog. Then you get to know that there are those who never make simple mistakes such as typos and transpositions. It's amazing to me that the commenter never learned about splitting infinitives. Vouchers, indeed!
The most socialist country in the world scores well ahead of the USA in scholastic achievement, and they are outperforming us because every student in the entire nation is guaranteed a school voucher and has the choice to attend any school he/she wants.
ReplyDeleteHere in this country the students are screwed for the sake of rewarding inferior union teachers so they can keep bribing Democrats to keep their cushy gravy train running, and the only ones who suffer at the hands of these corrupt Democrats are the children who are screwed out of a decent education all in the name of greed.
The facts that radical unions and Demcorats don't want you to know:
ReplyDeleteLate last month, I returned to Washington after attending a conference in Stockholm. In both national capitals, thousands of children and their parents were in full back-to-school planning mode.
But there was one big difference.
In the capital city of socialist Sweden, as in the rest of the country, schoolchildren and their parents were finalizing their choice of public or private school - using the school-voucher program available to all Swedish children.
Back here in the capital of free-market America, Congress was phasing out Washington, D.C.'s modest voucher program. Some 216 low-income families, who thought they were newly eligible for a voucher, were told that they could rip up their private-school acceptances and go back to their failing public schools.
No, I don't make these things up. All children throughout Sweden get education vouchers. It seems that the citadel of socialism can teach our Congress and teachers unions quite a bit about education choice.
Sweden introduced school vouchers throughout the country in 1992 to deal with exactly the same quality problems we face in our public schools.
Under the program, enacted by a center-right coalition government, children can use a voucher to go to either public schools or one of the growing number of private schools.
Private schools include religious schools and even for-profit schools. One of the largest for-profits - Kunskapsskolan (or "Knowledge School") - runs 32 schools with about 10,000 students ages 12-18.
These independent schools, like the public schools, get a voucher payment for each child. They compete vigorously with one other because the money follows the child to the school of his or her choice. Schools must satisfy their customers ... or lose them.
If Democrats are really the party of the people, how could they possibly oppose giving vouchers to poor children so they can compete with the rich people Democrats hate so much over seats in private schools?
