PROMISES MADE THAT WAS NEVERMENT TO BE KEPT.


FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

 
During his last election Mayor O’Brien made many promises that were not kept.    The biggest of the promises that the taxpayer’s will recall during the next election day will be his promise to not raise taxes.   And we all know what happened to that promise.

 However, the enormous bonding issuance by this administration amounting to an approximate sum of $65,000,000.   With the city having its bond rating already downgraded  may soon hear of another downgrade within the near future.

Alderman Jamie Giantonio stated it right, at a recent council Sub-committee meeting," over the years we rely on one time monies to fill a gap and then that gap creates another gap and so on."  

Should the city experience another downgrade, will we be able carry the higher interest cost, associated with all the bonding that occurred?

  2. McKinney lives in his own little dreamworld where gun owners don’t mind the new gun control laws that he helped write (those same laws that CCDL and other gun rights groups are working hard to overturn), and we don’t vote.

    If you are a registered Republican, contact the CT state GOP chairman. Contact your 2 State Central Committee reps. Tell them gun owners are not happy with McKinney. Tell them if there is a primary we will vote for his opponent. If he still wins the primary or there is no primary, we will not vote for him in the election.
    Tell them we want a governor who will uphold our rights and the State Constitution.
    Tell them we want them to put forward a candidate who will uphold the party platform.

    Remember, last election Republican Tom Foley lost to Malloy by only 5,637 votes. There are over 8500 CCDL members, 200,000 people with a carry permit, and upwards of 500,000 gun owners total in this state. If the CTGOP wants 4 more years of Malloy, go ahead and put up McKinney because gun owners would rather keep Malloy in office than reward McKinney.
    We’re that mad.
