The Arete firm was not able to obtain any bank mortgage money to support the plan and now the O'Brien administration quickly reacted with their usual blame game towards the possible Republican candidate for Mayor in next November's election, and also placing blame onto Mayor O'Brien's predecessor (once again everyone is responsible for O’Brien’s long list of failures except O’Brien himself).
Details have already emerged about the mayor’s hiring of 2 different “consultants” at a cost to the taxpayers of at least $138,000 that we know of (who knows how much more taxpayer money could possibly be involved), and the hiring of a “community organizer” (paid agitator) under false pretenses with the mayor falsely claiming that HUD was paying the entire cost for this agitator position when in fact your taxes are. Since all these expenses were expended either in secret without council approval or through false claims by the mayor, could it possibly be that the escrowed funds were used by the O'Brien administration for yet another unknown secret expense to further his radical agenda?
Given this administration’s track of record of secret back door deals benefiting their cronies, who really knows what this administration may have done with the $100,000 in federal money intended for this development. Perhaps they will even see the need to hire another paid consultant to deal with this newest mess. One thing is for certain, if they do feel the need for a public relations firm to sell their liberal spin on this latest debacle, the details and funding source for that consultant is likely to be kept secret from the public that is footing the bill for their cronyism.
I guess Sherwood's gag order didn't make it to your source at city hall, but I have no doubt he will expand the order to you too.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are in good company with Robin!
Your picture shows an American flag flying in front of city hall. I guess the communists didn't burn this one when they were seizing American flags from 12 year girls and then throwing the flags on the ground.
ReplyDelete5 Reasons why O'Brien is a creep:
ReplyDelete1) O'Brien NEVER stops campaigning
2) What he says is completely unrelated to what he does
3) He works overtime to pit New Britainites against each other
4) His hypocrisy on bipartisanship never ends
5) He's such a liar

I guess former mayor Stewart will forever go down in liberal history as the George W. Bush of New Britain.
ReplyDeleteWith one party liberal rule in this state, we’re circling the drain and are well on our way to being another California or Illinois.
ReplyDeleteFrank there is no investigation into this money that was given to the downtown developer. They are stretching the truth once again to fity their motive. That's to discredit someone that they fear this time Ken Malinowski. HUD routinely looks at non performing loans with their monies on an annual basis. Money invested to leverage an FHA mortgage application into significant investnments in downtown is an appropriate use of that money and that's a fact!
ReplyDeleteMore lies from the Agitator General in the mayor's office! will this group ever grow up???
