THE MATTABASSETT DISTRICT QUESTION OF REPRESENTATION IS THE ISSUE!

William Candelori, chairman of the district’s board of directors, recognized the issue of representation by flow by adding an amendment to the board’s original vote of three representatives from each town including Middletown with his adding three more to his legislative request.

This change was to address the concerns expressed by the New Britain residents

and its Council member’s so as to be able to add one or two based by the percentage paid by each member towns.

The state legislature members in attendance indicated that they will move on with the process. Candelori added that if any of the towns legislative bodies should vote against the proposal the issue would die for this legislative session.

With legislative representatives from all three towns were present in the crowded board room,of the district, with comments that seemed to opposed the three seat from each town plan proposal.

John Luddy, a current board member of the board, sensed the audience's despondency went on the attack in order to protect the board's plan with his admonishing the audience by giving the appearance as though he were saying you did not come here to praise Caesar but to bury him.

with some late arrivals the New Britain council members had a quorum present with Alderman Larry Hermanowski directing a question to the chair without first asking some of his fellow members to leave the room, in order alleviate the quorum issue, before addressing his question to the chair.

Chairman Candelori concluded the meeting by indicating "it is a very sticky issue and I respect those who expressed wanting more representatives on the board but, millions could be saved with the approval of this plan".
