)'Brien took 4300 words to do what he usually does, say nothing of substance. Of course, he said nothing about how he continues to lie to the NB public. Obviously he has given inaccurate information to the NB taxpayers so many times, he believes he's telling the truth! And the local papers keep printing the stuff/garbage.

It's difficult to see and understand how O'Brien can make the statements he does with a straight face and have the Herald report that he was interrupted by applause several times. Who applauded? All the members of the Council? Were there WFP plants in the audience?

Did O'Brien mention the purloined $16 Million or so funds from the Water Dept. reserves that he mingled with the General fund? Did he mention the questionable uses of HUD Funds for "certain" expenditures? Did he mention hiring a $100 Thousand PR fund under an emergency purchase order? Don't forget who is one of the principals in that firm who was once one of Gov. Malloy's closest advisors. Did he mention why and for what purpose he paid $Tens of thousands to the Pudlin firm, a firm that once used a current, well-known Democrat Alderman? Did he mention and as reported in The Herald the prevarications/lies about from where he got the money to hire the Community Organizer and from where the funds would come to pay for updating the City's Website?

The speech was also full of the usual garbage of how "O'Brien's initiatives" WILL bring this and that to NB and how this and that have been improved, "greatly"; as usual, long on self praise and woefully short on specifics!

The speech was full of the kind of specious claims O'Brien uses to tout his so-called accomplishments while abandoning the truth about his tenure as mayor.
Can't wait to see the usual response to my post from
"Mr. Anonymous."

WOW what a record of accomplishment.

He brags that he collected $15,000 out of $1.2 million! With an amazing record like this, maybe O'Brien should reconsider and run for tax collector and let Sherwood run for mayor since Sherwood runs the city as O'Brien's handler anyway?

Obviously they sent out their usual mass e-mails instructing every radical socialist in the city to turn out and show support for their radical extremist agenda. I'll bet you would be hard pressed to find anyone in this group of worshipers who actually work for a living or even one who pays a dime in taxes--ever.
As a group they have no skin in the game because they own nothing and pay no taxes and care only about keeping that gravy train running at someone else's expense.

The epitome of dumb is that this guy doesn't even realize how most people think he's a horse's ass.
