Mayor O’Brien is looking for ways to handle absentee landlord’s behavior.

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

After mass demonstration that occurred at city hall with a crowd of an estimated 550 demonstrators against imposing the hot spot and licensing fees to be paid by the out of town landlords. These fees also apply to resident landlords who live in the city but not in his rental properties.
The real question what will Mayor O’Brien and his council do when the court agrees with the landlord’s suit that the fees are arbitrarily selective and illegal? Raise taxes in order to make up for the short fall?

Will the outspoken landlord, Sam Zherka, be forced to take up residence in the city so as to be able to direct his fight against the infamous eleven Aldermen re-elections who voted for these adverse ordinances.

The Waterbury based Ct. Property Owner’s Alliance refers to the council’s acts as an selective money grab on the backs of landlords.

That is why the real estate professionals recently announced that they are not recommending New Britain properties to interested buyers.

But Sherwood calls this action is against “slumlords” but many of the out of town owners are responsible caretakers of their properties.

Dwight Blint, on the other hand, calls it a discriminatory tax and not a fee which in turns hurts good landlords more than the bad ones.

Yes... the outspoken landlord, Sam Zherka could take up residence in the City of New Britain... to direct his fight against the infamous eleven Aldermen re-elections who voted for these adverse ordinances.

Yes...Sam Zherka. the citizens of New Britain love him and the New Britain Democrat Politicans on the Common Council hate him.

By the way, does it strike anyone else as strange that Denise Nappier makes more money than the governor? What’s going on here? As business people who are on the outside looking in, we are disgusted with spending and spending of Connecticut politicans.
