New Britain's Mayor O'Brien's Imaginary Budget Income.

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

Setting a new fees structure for the town clerk's office when in reality these fees are set by state statute and cannot be raised legally.     Using the Hospital garage income for the entire year when he will be losing that income when the garage is turned over to Hartford Hospital within six months or so into the fiscal year.   Raising the conveyance taxes, within his proposal, by an approximate million dollars is as imaginary one can get to fantasy land.

The Mayor's projection of an income increase of ten million dollars more last year's income budget Is fabricating reality to the City's taxpayers.  

Any Alderman that supports any of the mayor's projections that include the no tax increase promised by him, when we all know the tax re-valuation will also take place, forcing a mil rate increase of an approximate 8-9 mils, should be eliminated from office come our next election this November.

I strongly urge all the city's alderman to closely examine all the proposed income and expenses being proposed by Mayor O'Brien and his acting Finance Director, Ms. Becky Salerni, for the sake of the taxpayers you have been elected to represent.
