Recently, a number of misleading or erroneous statements have been made by candidates running for the open 24th. District State Rep. seat or Council members that were elected this past November. I believe that such statements are either made “accidentally on purpose” or because of ignorance of what is fact.
Examples: Both Democrat candidates for the 24th. State Assembly District, Bozek and Lopes have said that they would work to stop the NB/Hartford Busway project. I ask, HOW? Federal money has been approved and released and Gov. Malloy has given his approval also. This is a ploy to get all those voters who opposed the Busway to vote for them. This is patent trickery. Also, don’t forget, when Governor Rell came to NB to voice her approval of the Busway, all of New Britain’s the State Reps. and State Senator were there to get into the photograph that appeared in in the Herald;
Council Member Dave DeFronzo states that the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the COSTCO Co. to purchase a portion of the Stanley Golf Course was not approved properly by the previous Council on October 12, 2011. I remind DeFronzo, (a) to read the NB Charter and also to read the resolution authorizing then Mayor Stewart to enter into the contract with COSTCO. When Mayor Stewart presented the purchase and sale agreement to the Council on 10/12/11 it was an act of courtesy; not necessary. I remind DeFronzo also that the purchase and sale agreement was approved by the Council on a ten to four vote. Six of the ten Democrats present joining the four Council Republicans in approving the agreement.
It’s much easier to tell people the truth than to have to be exposed for misleading them later. This is why the only candidate that should be given a vote of confidence in the special election for 24th District Connecticut State Rep. is Pete Steele.
Pete Steele is THE candidate who has served New Britain, Connecticut and America
- Vietnam veteran - honorably and without malice.

Vietnam was an illegal war and nothing to be proud of.
So if you were drafted into the Vietnam war you should then be ashamed of yourself?
Who is the the moron that wrote this comment?
Must be a local New Britain communist liberal it could be one of a thousand.

I'll bet Mr. Steele didn't like the war anymore than anybody else did back then, but he did his service to his country. He didn't opt out as a conscientious objector, run to Canada or have his Mommy or Daddy get him a cushy assignment here at home. And that he has every right to be proud of.
He still has scars and injuries to prove that he fought in defense of freedom - something that the punk who made the first post should be thanking God that there are still Americans who preserve and protect our precious rights. Like Freedom to shoot your mouth off even when you don't know the first thing about what your talking about.
You would accomplish as much as the busway will if you took the money they are going to waste on this massive boondoggle and flushed it down the toilet--especially if you used the money as toilet paper first.
Over $1 million per inch to build a busway to carry a bus that will run empty all day and an estimated $7.5 million per year just for the fuel for the empty buses!
No one will ride this ridiculous bus and you are on heavy drugs if you think they are going to. Even Governor Rowland was able to disprove the liberal lunatics' predictions of more than 2,000 riders per day with the simple fact that they are only going to provide 204 parking spaces at the New Britain station--demonstrating that the planners know up front that no more than 204 people will even be able to ride this monstrosity on any given day. The current plan is for 103 round trips per day, and with no more than 204 people capable of riding, that at best is 2 people on each bus. This boondoggle should prove to be even more of a disastrous failure than the rail line in Portland Oregon that taxpayers paid billions of dollars to build and it is rare that they ever even have one passenger on the empty trains that run back and forth all day.
Nothing but waste--plain and simple, but for these lunatics that are pushing this nonsense, it doesn't matter because it is not their money--it is ours that they are simply throwing away like garbage.
Sally, what if you were drafted for the Vietnam war and you refused to serve your country--claiming conscientious objector status--would that be something to be proud of?
How about if you used your super-rich family's connections to get you 5 separate deferments, and when you couldn't get a 6th deferment, you used those same connections to get yourself assigned to a desk job in Washington DC, but then claimed to have served in Vietnam. Would that be something to be proud of?
Hope all those who served our country remember what they gave up and are proud of their service. They fought so that idiots can run for office when they are guilty of tax evasion in their town, and can rummage through someone else's desk looking for information. All those vets should remember and vote for Pete Steele on Tuesday no matter what their party affiliation!
Bad as Lopes is, at least he lives in New Britain. My state rep , Tercyak lives in Hartford and no one cares.
Imagine the outcry if a Republican who was elected to represent New Britain actually lived in Hartford?
In New Britain, laws simply don't apply to Democrats. Case and point: we have a city council member who along with his wife are at last report thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars delinquent on their property taxes and not only did the Mayor have no problem running on the same ticket with him, he seemed to have no problem appointing his wife to a very important post like the police commission, where we now have what seems to amount to someone who openly defies the law running the police department.
If our own city council and police commission can openly ignore the law, why should any one of us obey, especially since the message being sent by this mayor is that in New Britain, the law simply does not matter?
