Two Aldermen ended their council careers, as aldermen, at last night's common council meeting: Aldermen Mark Bernacki and Paul Catanzaro along with Mayor Stewart's last meeting as well.
Additionally, John Melecsinsky, the council's clerk for the last seventeen years, publicly chastised the common council members for leaking comments that he may not be re-appointed by the council at their next meeting subsequent to the city election, he decided to end this mystery by resigning from his post.
Then walking out of the council chambers leaving the council members in amazement.
Mayor Stewart ended the meeting with a very emotional statement thanking all the members of his staff for their support as well as the VP Volunteers for a job well done during his tenure. I am going with Johnny Mel and saying good night Gladys.

Johnny Mel said alot more than that! He focused on the attitude and disrespect of some of the Council members toward department heads and visitors.
We do not know what the movement and goals of Occupy Wall Street stands for - and from interviews with college folks we have seen, the people involved are not sure. They need to get a job. It may not pay what they would like it to pay, or it may not be in the field they want to work in (or went to college for), but it is a J O B. Seems like too many people have too much idle time on their hands.
The New York City OWS movement was made up in part by people hired by New York Communities for Change (NYCC) – the new name for the corrupt ACORN organization that lost tax payer funding due to their illegal activities.
Frank,
Without Johnny Mel, who will be left to lock you out of any future secret meetings?
Sounds like the Democrats have another crony they want to give this lucrative paid position to!
I wonder what sleazeball will appear as our new clerk?
It will turn into the happiest event ever if the voters wake up from their collective slumber and refuse to return a number of the radical extremists that have dominated the council for way too long!
The HIJACKING of Occupy Wall Street Movement by NYCC/ACORN?
Sources said NYCC [the group formerly known as New York's chapter of ACORN] has hired about 100 former ACORN-affiliated staff members from other cities – paying some of them $100 a day – to attend and support and control the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
Also, dozens of New York City homeless people recruited from shelters are also being paid to support the protests, at the rate of $10 an hour for 4 hour shift, the sources said…
Multiple sources said NYCC is also using cash donations through canvassing efforts in New York’s Harlem and Washington Heights neighborhoods for union-backed campaigns to fund the Wall Street protests.
“They give contributions because we say if they do we can fix things – whatever specific problem they’re having in their area, housing, schools, whatever … then we spend the contributions paying staff to be at the protests all day, every day. That’s where these contributions – the community’s money – is going,” the source said.
“They’re doing the same stuff now that got ACORN in trouble to begin with. and yes, we’re still ACORN, there is a still a national active ACORN.”
A woman who was recruited from a homeless shelter to protest and then canvass as part of a campaign ostensibly aimed at home foreclosures told Fox, “I get the money and then the money is being used for Occupy Wall Street—to pay for all of it, for supplies, food, transportation, salaries, for everything … all that money is going to pay for the protests downtown and that’s just messed up.
It’s just wrong.” So in case you were wondering how they can afford the new Port-a-Potties, there you go.
The bad news: Per Fox’s sources, unwitting people are being duped into chipping in under false pretenses. The good news: The era of Tupperware containers filled with urine might soon, mercifully, be over.
Exit quotation: “They’re telling people who leave jail to go to Zuccotti Park and Occupy Wall Street”
Oh...We thought the protest was because some people make more money than others. Or that it was because the college students don't feel that they should have to pay back their school loans. There actually seem to be a lot of reasons for these dirtbags to occupy public spaces, banging drums with no consideration for the people who pay their hard earned money to live there or urinating / defecating in doorways. Yes, they are certainly an inspiration. Hopefully, they will get pneumonia and just go away.
People really need to wake up. It isn’t Wall Street that is screwing society, it is the Fractional Reserve Banking System headed by the Federal Reserve. End-The-Fed has been protesting for months now and hasn’t gotten the headlines. Occupy Wall Street is backed by no other than George Soros (aka Media Matters), and we all know how he made his billions (devaluing currencies around the world - which is currently happening in the US). Wake up America and read the fine print.
I am proud of the NYPD for locking up over 50 of these outlaws. They all belong behind bars!
John Mel said as it is. The council has a rule book to follow but the Dems do not feel they have to follow them. Clear example Mike Trueworthy asks legal council for advice and then does what he wants, classic example last Wed, the meeting before removes an item from the agenda and asks the department head to add another firm. Department head had this information at least a month before and did not want to include this firm but Mike went ahead and disregarded the rules. No wonder New Britain is in the shape it is in, Alderman out for themselves, refusing to abide by the rule they set. The council is for the city not just a particular group or person. Remember that when you vote. Far to many long term Dems politicains on the council who think they are above the rules and the people who elect them Salvio is right we need to follow the rules, every organiztion has them
