Signage has become a critical issue in the Mayoral Campaign.


 

Arriving to the Cracovia Restaurant today and noticing that Erin Stewart's election sign had been taken down. 

 When asking why? 

 I was only told that Mayor O'Brien together with his friend David demanded that the sign be taken down.

Would it not have been more "palpable" if the Mayor had simply requested that his sign be placed in another front window of the restaurant?

  1. Just to show you how two-faced and hypocritical O'Brien is; O'Brien sees nothing wrong with a fun draiser in his honor being hosted recently at a building in the downtown area owned by a noted New Britain contributor to political campaigns. Of course, O'brien can't intimidate this business person.

  3. Was it a "demand" or a "request" ? Usually a demand has a threat attached (implied or otherwise). Either way, it is terrible disappointing when city businesses or individuals are discouraged from being part of the political process.

  4. These Polish people thought they were fleeing communism by coming to America. Little did they know they were going to end up being ruled by a communist regime here in New Britain.

  5. The fact Erin and Frank are talking lawn signs is a great indication that Team O'Brien has this locked up.

  8. Too bad Oktoberfest was not a success...I hear volunteers are being asked to take less then the 5 percent they signed on for....as it was I hear organizations averaged $150.

  9. sorry to hear Oktoberfest was such a disaster, but then anything O'Brien touches is a dismal failure, so why should Oktoberfest be any different?

  11. 14000 people coming to downtown New Britain? Hard to call that a failure.

  12. how about what I hear is the inability to pay what was promised to the people who worked there or the loss of business to the businesses in the area that were forced to close for three days?

    who pays for those things?

  13. When everyone loses money it is a failure.

  14. 14,000 people in NB is a bold faced lie! This guy didn't even contact the only German Club in NB to participate. WTF? He even had to pay all the bands including the Latin Band that was playing on Saturday prime time around 5pm. You've got to be kidding me? If it's Main Street USA then do a multi-cultural event that's not billed as a Oktoberfest.

  16. Українці для Стюарт
    Мої бабуся і дідусь залишив Україні, рятуючись від комунізму. Вони прийшли до Америки, які прагнуть свободи. Коли вони оселилися в Нова Британія, вони думали, що вони були Оселившись у вільному суспільстві з свобод, як вони ніколи не може мати ще не мріяли в Європі. Тепер комуністи намагаються вкрасти, що свобода з одного великого державного контролю за іншим, поки я вірю, що одного разу ми всі прокинуться і думаємо, що є назад за стіною в комуністичного Радянського Союзу. Я вважаю, що голосування за О'Брайен є голосування за таку ж комуністичної великого уряду мої бабуся і дідусь ненавидів і що голосування за Ерін Стюарт займає позицію для скорочення державного апарату та індивідуальних свобод. Мої бабуся і дідусь повинна обертатися в своїх могилах на те, як ці безбожним комуністи руйнують наша нація колись гарне й безкоштовно. Не пережити комуністичної знищення нашої свободи шляхом голосування для демократів, які вважають, що комунізм являє собою шлях.

  17. I guess the drive by media doesn't want to talk about that nice $100,000 check O'Brien gave Occhigrosso's company to campaign for his illegal landlord fees, but then again its not his money, it yours he is so free with!


    Governor uses official residence for wedding of state contractor and political crony.

    You'd be excused if you think Connecticut has returned to the dark Rowland years. You'd be wrong. It was last weekend and the governor with the bad judgment is that former crusader Dannel P. Malloy.

    Last weekend, Malloy allowed use of the Prospect Avenue mansion in Hartford for state contractor, campaign guru, mouthpiece and former senior adviser Roy Occhiogrosso's wedding. Invitees were directed to send their reply to the governor's residence. This was the sort of mixing of state business, politics and personal relationships that Malloy and Occhiogrosso once decried. Now they glory in the cocktail of influence, business and moneymaking available to the powerful and connected.

    I'm surprised even one person would publicly admit their support. Must have been a fellow whacked out left wing extremist.

  19. Mieszkam na Ulicy Szerokiej i jestem nieszczęśliwy, a pobliżu ogrodu saskiego pozwoliły naszej restauracji właściciela zmusić go do burmistrza do przejęcia Erin z jego okna.

    Podobało mi się w jego zakładzie, ale nie może tam powrócić.

  20. I heard the only real issue for signs is that the Stewart campaign can't get them made fast enough to keep them in stock because it seems everyone wants one.
