Roy Centeno’ s personal profile in the Herald (8/19/11) is full of contradictions when considering his votes on the Council:
“…he has and will only support budgets that have a no tax increase or a very small increase.” How small is very small? Tax increases come when there is not enough revenue to support spending. So how Centeno vote on the Aquinas proposal? He voted, NO! How did he vote on the Zone change to get the Costco proposal under way? Voted to table it!
About Costco; Centeno voted to delay a vote on the zone change that would get the process started and says the Mayor is keeping plans secret. Fact, there are no plans. First, there was only a proposal FROM COSTCO TO NEW BRITAIN! All Council members and the public have seen it. The proposal and an initial rendering were presented to the Parks Commission months ago. All commissioners, Costco representatives the Mayor and Aldermen Catanzaro and Salvio were present. There was never nor has there been since, hard and fast plans. When this first proposal was made there was and continues to be some public opposition (call it, “Plan A). Stewart has made another proposal (call it, “Plan B) involving Newington, and the State DOT has no hard plans or even a rendering. Remember, Centeno voted to delay action. Says Stewart is not open and above board.
Centeno says Kurtz made a positive impact on the School District; “She did a good job” and “She was a straight shooter”, and “She implemented a lot of ideas that made a difference.” Really? Name just one. Centeno’ s opinions on Kurtz are not supported by the majority of NB folks.
On transparency; Centeno supported a poorly worded, vindictive witch-hunt type resolution about Council members that have businesses that are used by the city. This resolution was hatched by former alderman and dirty tricks expert, Phil Sherwood and later continued by Alderman DeFronzo. Fact, there are two aldermen targeted by this resolution, both Republicans. What does that tell anybody? That Democrat Council members are only interested in trying to discredit their political opponents, nothing else.
Yes, he’s a nice guy and easy to talk to but his actions show he is little "mor."

Here's some transparency for you Mr. Centeno:
CENTRAL CONN S U
Centeno, Rolando Retiree
$56,117 2010
When did Centeno start staying awake at the council meetings?
...also when did Centeno vote on any issue that was not ordered by his master, little mack?
Just one vote against the other 10 brain dead liberals would prove that Centeno actually has a brain and can think for himself, but can anyone point to even one vote where Centeno voted against the majority?
It is not possible for 11 people to agree on every issue, every time, therefore demonstrating that the 11 Democrats are nothing but a bunch of brainless puppets led by one extremist master planner--the perfect socialist model.
I usually watch the meetings on Nutmeg TV and if you want my opinion, Centeno even makes Adam appear to be intelligent.
