At the 8/10/11 Common council meeting, all Democrats present (Carlozzi, absent), except Sanchez voted to nix the Saint Thomas Aquinas proposal. The final vote was, 9 Democrats opposed, the 4 Republicans plus Sanchez voted to approve. So the motion was lost.. One wouldn’t want to “pigeonhole” Trueworthy.
Secondly, at the same Council meeting and done unilaterally by Council Democrats (to the exclusion of the Republicans) and led by Alderman Larry Hermanowski, all Council Democrats signed a petition that was presented to the Mayor, compelling the Mayor to ask Costco to come to a special meeting of the PZ&H Committee of the Common Council – called by whom? - to present COSTCO’S plans when non exist for examination.
Since only Democrats signed the petition, only Democrats were in favor of this ridiculous move.
Conclusion:
Tim O’Brien has stated in the media that he is anti the Costco proposal.
Assuming he goes along with all current Council Democrats that were endorsed by the DTC including those supporting Alderman Paul Catanzaro for Mayor.
Ergo, it is logical to conclude that Tim O’Brien and all current Common Council Democrats are opposed to Economic Development, increased Tax Revenues and some property tax relief that would be provided by these two proposals.
That is what the NB Council Democrats promise for the New Britain residents/taxpayers.
Voters think about these issues, before you cast your vote.
And please don’t give me any more of the Alex Stanley Deed stuff!

You hit it right on the head, Frank. The DeFronzo (Don) legacy and the do-nothing, O'Brien hisrory will deal NB a death blow unless the people of NB wise up. Once the election is over, Democrats don't care about you.
ReplyDeleteTell John McNamara to get out of town and to take with him, DeFronzo, O'Brien, Sherwood, Trueworthy, Maguszewski, Platosz, DeFronzo( the youger), Sanchez, Centeno, Catanzaro, Collins, Black and Hermanowski. Replace them with people with brains.
Don't forget we turned down $15 MILLION and a land swap for quarry land.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the Democrats drove away a $5 million investment in Pinnacle Heights and also drove Wal-Mart out of the city with 170 jobs that they took with them.
ReplyDeleteSo far, the Democrats have a perfect record for destroying business opportunities in New Britain, but they seem to be pulling out all the stops in order to locate what will be by far the largest homeless shelter in the state right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
