SO let me get this straight, Adam said something for once ???? Who gave him a script? But really its funny that Tim O'Brien would even like to hear that we have been flat funded, why you ask ? BECAUSE ITS HIS FAULT !!! While a state rep for NB he vote to not send our way, but to other towns instead !!! He said we didnt need it. And 90% of the jokers on the common council have been there for the last ten years that they say nothing was done for our schools !!! You folks are helping whomever is running against you in Nov. Come Nov 5th I will be voting all republican for the first time.
More reckless spending from the left, but since most of their constituency don't even pay taxes, then why not run the city into bankruptcy?
Mayor Tim Stewart Comments on BOE Bonding---
Amazing at how these uneducated elected officials fall for the continued rhetoric from the BOE. The city never underfunded education during my eight years in office. In fact the only time we were brought up to the state was when Mayor Pawlak deliberately funded them below the MER at the time. The state sets the bar for minimum educational funding levels and they were always met by the city. The real problem is that they continue to make the connection between funding and educational success of our children. If that were the case then why when the costs of education have risen 45% over the past ten years have we not seen a dramatic increase in our students perfiormance? Bonding for books even though it is for a shorter period of time than capital improvements shows the lack of financial pripciples this common council and school leadership share. When the city gets downgraded once again because of their reckless spending of taxpayer dollars who will but the junk paper they will attempt to sell? Nobody that's who! Another bad move by the democratic panderers in NB!
I remember O'Brien saying that Bridgeport and New Haven needed the money more than New Britain did so he was all for all the state aid going to those 2 cities and none to New Britain.
Adam talk without a script? He would need to be told exactly what to say no different than O'Brien can't have a thought without Sherwood telling him exactly what to think and when to think it.
The Herald blog is lit up like a Roman candle over this. People are angry and recognize how bad this is for the city.
Just wondering why this wasn't part of the budget? Don't we have to repay the loan? Were those payments factored into the budget?
Why is the Herald site so lit up, isn't this just free money that no one ever has to pay back? That seems to be how Democrats think of bonding--free money!
Too bad none of these council members had the opportunity to attend a superior private school with non-union teachers, then they might have a clue about life.
If Despot Dan our radical communist dictator can give Hartford $47 million for students to not go to school in Hartford, then why can't he give New Britain $5 million to buy textbooks for students who do go to school in New Britain? What does Danno have against New Britain?
Former Segarra Aide Kupiec Arrested Over Use Of City Car, but where is the police investigation over the City of New Britain vehicle being used for trips to New Hampshire that we only know about because of it running out of gas on the Mass Pike and a city employee being ordered to bring a can of gas all the way to the Mass Pike and all at taxpayer expense?
I'm sure we could find a long list of people willing to deliver the can of gas for free (something Sherwood should really appreciate as a Democrat--free stuff paid for with someone else's money) so long as he promised never to return to New Britain.
Can't we become more inventive with our education rather than spend more money we don't have....you can always borrow a book from the library or use something called a book exchange...give the teachers a little more freedom within the classroom before wasting more money.
