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

Did you ever consider taking your crap from the three towns to the Hartford MDC and save over $100 million dollars in a construction fiasco not inluding future labor AND benefit costs.
NO ! because it would just make Mattabassett a small plant without alot of expense and lower cost. Not the giant your trying to mAKE IT. just to satisfy your EGO.
Switching to MDC would make total and complete sense for both sewer and water. New Britain should be negotiating with MDC to take over both operations which would allow them to cut the size of their bloated bureaucracies while at the same time offering lower rates to the taxpayers.
MDC continues to have ridiculously low rates compared to what the taxpayers in these 3 towns are forced to pay even before you are forced to cough up $100 million for a fancy new plant.
Hooking up with the MDC makes a tremendous amount of sense, but it will never happen because that would end the flow of taxpayer money to certain well connected individuals, so once again it is the taxpayers who get a royal screwing.
Giving the existing leadership $100 million of taxpayer dollars to control would be like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop.
"Sticky issue." Yes Mr. Chairman you are sticking it to the taxpapyers.
