G. Geoffrey Bray Of Bray Architects Attacks use of Church Conversion use with City Funds
To the
Editor:
I was disappointed to learn that the city of New Britain is proposing to allocate approximately $450,000 to renovate the building at 265 West Main St. for mixed use, not only as a place of worship for the Calvary Christian Center but to also house an emergency homeless shelter.
The building, built in the 1920s as a Masonic Temple, has spent most of its life as the Temple B’Nai Israel, and has been on the National Record of Historic Buildings since 1995.
I believe this latest concept to be misguided, if not illegal for a number of reasons:

The building, built in the 1920s as a Masonic Temple, has spent most of its life as the Temple B’Nai Israel, and has been on the National Record of Historic Buildings since 1995.
I believe this latest concept to be misguided, if not illegal for a number of reasons:
First, the
law of the land addresses the separation of church and state. After the city
learned they could not use left-over HUD grant money to fund this project, they
are pursuing the use of city bond money and that should also be illegal as government money, whatever
the designation, should not be used to fund a religious organization.
Second, the money will not be reused to restore this stately building, but will be used to solve a number of building and fire code issues brought about by its proposed mixed use and change of occupancy. The proposed use as a homeless shelter at the very least should first be reviewed before any construction commences by the City Plan Commission and ZBA as a special exemption use and to the Historic Preservation Commission if ever public funds were allowed to be used; none of those commissions have even been contacted, never mind approvals given or denied.
Third, creating yet another homeless shelter and social service source in an historically significant building and neighborhood abutting Walnut Hill Park is at cross purposes with historic preservation’s mission to stimulate the revitalization of the neighborhoods surrounding the downtown by middle income families, who in turn, after investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to accurately restore homes in the neighborhood within walking distance of downtown, will support downtown businesses & shops, and in turn create a broader more substantial tax base, which in turn could mean lower taxes for us all.
Please be aware that the city of New Britain already houses hundreds of homeless people at a number of facilities; some come with substance abuse issues, others are recently released from incarceration, and still others with mental and/or physical disabilities. Presently there are care facilities at the Friendship Center, Prudence Crandall & Farrell Treatment Center, Salvation Army and scattered throughout the city are others such as the one Alderman Brown and his spouse run, and even CMHA has several such sites.
I would hope we all want to contribute to revitalizing New Britain to be a desirable place to create a home, raise our families, to work and prosper, to enjoy the many wonderful institutions we have in town, and ultimately grow old here and not have to or want to move away.
Let City Hall know we want and need to follow not only the law of the land, but the guidelines and plans already in place to rebuild and restore our city. Let us stop shopping for ways to circumvent these while grabbing for quick-fix solutions that over time are harmful and self-defeating.

New Britain not Business Friendly
In reading of the many political mailings from the common council existing
candidates promising to "encouraging economic development" and "Creating
local jobs" was a comment by a fellow alderman candidate.
Amazing with many companies and small businesses moving out of our city
when able in finding suitable accommodations.
The most recent that left our city are The American Home Medical Supplies
that move to Berlin and the only tailor left in New Britain "Anne's
Tailoring has moved to Kensington.
Landlords are being forced to raise rents to their tenants, because of
the O'Brien administration's added inspection fees, while they watch their
commercial tenants leaving to other towns with "better political climates."

Candidate Speaks out of the Horrors of the O'Brien Admimistration
10/28/13
It’s
Municipal Election time in New Britain; the two daily newspapers are definitely
ideologically and heavily bent toward the left, the liberal cause. Those of us
that wish to read articles that are skewed more toward conservative views on
issues or middle of the road views need to read authors such as Chris Powell of
the Journal Inquirer of Manchester.
Mayor O'Brien's
tenure has been described by the two locals as something only a bit short of wonderful
while they cite the “so called” accomplishments of this hopeless twit.
O’Brien
claims he’s saved so much money by doing such things as consolidating
departments while at the same time touting his successes in creating jobs,
purely a fairy tale type lie. To date there has been no accounting of how
much money was saved. The only jobs that have been created have gone to cronies
like Brigitte Brown, Phil Sherwood, Dave Pudlin, Roy Occhiogrosso’s firm, Matt
Dabrowski and Francisco Cuin (both being paid by HRA whose taxes O’Brien
waived), Sherwood’s replacement, Fernando (?) Marroquin, and an Executive Aide
from Berlin, etc. Now, rumor has it that the wife of Tax Collector candidate,
Greg Gerratana has been “given” the job of Common Council Secretary. The
Committee that selected her (not unanimously) included Gerratana’s aunt
Alderwoman Suzanne Bielinski and Alderman Michael Trueworthy. The last time
Trueworthy and Bielinski hired a person to be a Council Auditor the person had
to be let go for fudging time sheets and costing the City
$ thousands.
Conflict of interest, you decide. Does anyone see any savings here or jobs
created that benefitted New Britain citizens? Give yourself a gold star if you
answered no.
Now, how
about the benefits of consolidation; I have had occasion recently to talk with
many representatives of City departments regarding different issues. All
say the same thing, to wit, it has become increasingly difficult to attack
problems in the City such as blight, police functions, public works issues and
the proper functioning of other departments as a result of staff reductions
brought about by consolidation. I don’t call that promoting the General
Welfare, I call it ineptness, incompetence, lack of leadership qualities, lack
of innate intelligence, without proper education and political ambition, fueled
by cronyism and corrupt practices and without compassion for the citizens of
New Britain. The O’Brien Administration is a “train wreck.”
Your vote
for Erin Stewart and her team on November 5th go a long way toward a return to
honesty in government in New Britain. Vote Team Stewart - Row A.
Lou Salvio
New Britain
A team Stewart Candidate tells it as it is Against New Britain's Alderman Landlord, Platosz
Being a newcomer to
this year's election cycle it has been quite the challenge for me. I knew
how tough it would be with all the campaigning that takes place and all the
time and effort that is needed. It's an opportunity that each candidate
fights for to obtain that position that they are running for. I've really
faced some challenges along the way and found that some people just don't seem
to be the one that you really imagined them to be. I try to see the good in
people but sometimes it just doesn't happen. I was asked to run for
office back in July and I was very grateful for an opportunity to be a part of
this city that I have been born and raised in. I thought to myself how
great it would be to clean this city up and be a voice for every citizen that
needs to be heard.
In July I
rented a place from Adam Platosz who currently sits on the council. On
July 19th I had attended the Republican endorsement meeting and had been
nominated as Alderman in District 2.
Yes, I then found out
I was indeed running against Adam, but already moved into the apartment a week
prior. On July 21st, Sunday morning, I had received a phone call from Mr.
Platosz asking me "what was going on"? I responded that I was running
for alderman and that I was given the chance to do something for this city.
He responded by telling me" that it's a lot of work and that I would
never be able to handle it." Then he proceeded to tell me "that
an eviction will be issued." He said, quote unquote, that it was a slap in
his face with everyone is laughing at him. So basically he gave me an option to
not run or to lose my home.
For someone who
sits on the council and to make threats as serious as that, really speaks of
that one's character. He is the one who voted for tenants to live in an environmentally
safe environment but, he himself has several violations in that apartment, no
smoke detectors what so ever with ceiling tiles in the bathroom that were
covered with urine, mold as well as unsafe wiring and faulty fixtures. With my
complaints to the city health department falling on deaf ears.
This man also entered
my apartment when I was not home without any reason and without notifying me,
invading my privacy, police were called. No individual should have
to live in fear wondering if this person is coming into the apartment when
asleep.
The eviction did take place and I am so grateful
to be out of there and finally getting the peace that was needed. So for
someone to sit there and say that I would never be able to handle this position
is sadly mistaken. Honestly, I've been through a lot in my life and I'm
not going to sit back and let this man get away with the things he had done and
the things he continues to do. It's true what they say, "You never really
know someone until you live with them"! Adam can deny and
fabricate anything he wants, but the truth is the truth.
I believe Adam feels threatened to lose his
position on the council, because my move, is still within his district and he
should, because there are far better candidates that can do a better job that
clearly he never did or has done!
Everything happens
for a reason and when you do wrong to someone, it really comes back on you.
I don't put anyone down by any means because God knows we all have our
experiences and challenges that we face each day of our lives, but to threaten
people is uncalled for. Whether I win this election or not, I will hold
my head up high, embrace everything and take this as a learning experience and
keep trying until I succeed. I was given this chance and I'm not going to
back down. I care about this city I live in and will work as hard as I can to
make it a better place. It's not about ourselves, it's about this city
and every individual that resides in it.

team Stewart candidate.
Alderman Centeno Owes Back Taxes Again
Alderman Roy Centeno who is running for re-election in the 5th ward for
the common council with the Alderman owing back taxes of a sum of $1401.86, and
expects to be re-elected by those who pay their taxes.
Sadly, the Democrats have re-endorsed him even though he owed back taxes
during his last election cycle.
He is famous for voting for the annual budgets for all of us to pay the
taxes but, he neglects to pay his own.

Mayor O'Brien's Strange Memory Lapse
In an article that appeared in the New Britain Herald dated September
11, 2009 written by James Craven, a former staff writer with the New Britain Herald
entitled, " Political Smears against Mayor traced to state Capitol." This article opened the Pandora's box
where it was found that Greg Gerratana was the offender and admitted to Mr.
Craven which was publicized. Even our
former State Representative, Tim "O'Brien chimed in by saying " I
would call on both sides to stop the personal attacks." Which resulted in the removal of Mr.
Gerratana from his LOB job and ending his campaign for the New Britain Tax
collector that year.
Now With Mayor O'Brien knowing all the adverse political history baggage
of this individual, he has the extreme nerve, to add him to his current slate
of candidates as the tax collector for the city of New Britain.
Lapse of memory??

Obama Care Must Be Stopped
OBAMA CARE AT AGE 76
- Adios!
If you are approaching 76 years of
age next year please read the following. So you don't think there is no such
thing as obama death panels just read what Judge Kithil has written. obama
doesn't need death panels because when you reach 76 just say
"Sayonaro"!
2014.Even far left Democrats will not like these.MEDICARE AT AGE 76 IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - ANYONE WHO DOUBTS THIS IS TRUE CAN DOWNLOAD THE NEW OBAMA CARE AND LOOK UP THE PAGES MENTIONED. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING......................PLEASE PASS THIS OUTRAGE TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST!!! THIS should be read by everyone, especially important to those over 75....... If you are younger, then it may apply to your parents....Your hospital Medicare admittance has just changed under Obama Care. You must be admitted by your primary Physician in order for Medicare to pay for it! If you are admitted by an emergency room doctor it is treated as outpatient care where hospital costs are not covered. This is only the tip of the iceberg for Obama Care. Just wait to see what happen in this year and
2014!YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS... At age 76 when you most need it most, you are not eligible for cancer treatment * see page 272 What Nancy Pelosi didn't want us to know until after the healthcare bill was passed. Remember she said, "We have to pass the Bill so that we can see what's in it." Well, here it is.Obama Care Highlighted by Page Number THE CARE BILL HB 3200 JUDGE KITHIL IS THE 2ND OFFICIAL WHO HAS OUTLINED THESE PARTS OF THE CARE BILL.Judge Kithil of Marble Falls , TX - highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200 Please read this....... especially the reference to pages 58 & 59JUDGE KITHIL wrote:
** Page 50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents, even if they are here illegally.** Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.** Page 65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).** Page 203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax.(How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)** Page 241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all doctors' fees. This is what they do in Sweden too. I know because Alf's daughter Ann is an OBGYN, and her husband, Thorsten, is a surgeon.........
** Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age.** Page 317 and 321: The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
** Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death counseling..)** Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.HAD ENOUGH???? Judge Kithil then goes on to identify:"Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to members of Congress.No wonder they did not see the need to read it....doesn't apply to them!!!THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP TO WASHINGTON .....NOW! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!Honorable David Kithil of Marble Falls , TexasAll of the above should give you the ammo you need to oppose Obamacare. Please send this information on to all of your email contacts.

Democratic Party Chairman McNamara Quoted By Candidate
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB
EDITORIAL
I attended the Joseph Carabetta affair at the Whinstone this evening
with many good speeches supporting Erin Stewart for Mayor. While there were many dynamic speakers, one
really stood out among all the property owners in attendance when a member of
team Stewart was asked to speak.
Mr. Daniel Serlano, a registered Democrat for many years, quoted the
alleged remark made by Democratic Party Chairman John McNamara, who according
to Serlano when he learned of Danny's joining the Team Stewart Slate greeted
him by saying “You now have joined the
party of slumlords." Needless to say the landlords were very
disturbed and appalled to hear that O'Brien's Party Chairman calls honest
businessmen who provide services to their tenants, "SLUMLORDS."
Mr. Carabetta has in excess of 38,000 tenants and was clearly not
endeared by McNamara's reference that he too is a "slumlord." Mr. Carabetta made it very clear that he was
here to support Erin for Mayor in order to get rid of O'Brien.

Greg Gerratana's Lawn Signs are Very Deceitful.
.jpg)
Passing the only one I have seen so far even after
driving around much of the city, I did a double take when seeing the Gerratana
name in extra large print but having very small print that isn't easy to notice
indicating "tax collector."
It gave me the impression that it was our state
Senator, his mother, that is running and not Greg. Of course to further this false image, his first
name doesn't appear on it at all.
Just deceitful.

GOP Chairman urges voters to vote out O'Brien!
During a recent LOWV debate he pointed out that he heard the mayor tell lie
and half truths when boasting about the two million dollar surplus subsequent to
raided the water bureau a sum of ten million.
He touted that Costco will create new jobs for New Britain but was against
the Costco project when he was running for mayor he also claimed that he inherited
a fiscal crisis while forgetting that all the previous budgets were approved by
the Democratic controlled Common Council membership.
Mr. Steele went on to say that O'Brien patted himself on the back for
reducing city departments but did not show the taxpayers the any savings that
has occurred with those cuts.
He was very polite in saying that O'Brien thinks that the voters don't
care for the details with his thinking that the voters will continue if he
"tells you lies that sound nice."

Talk of a possible sale of the New Britain's Biggest asset.
The Honorable Nancy Johnson has cautioned our Mayor to not sell our biggest
asset the town has. She was able to obtain
Federal Funds totaling a sum of $15,000,000 which covered a portion of the cost
in building our new plant and the sole purpose of this funding was to keep the
customer's rate of cost down.
She noted that our city could suffer another downgrade subsequently to
our receiving two recent downgrades by Moody's and Fitch. Our Creditors would demand higher interest
rates, for the existing bonds we now owe, because of our poor financial management
style currently at city hall causing her predicted new downgrade.
Frederick T. Stanley the city's first mayor had the foresight, when serving
has chairman of the city's water commission, by establishing a self sustaining
water fund.
Our City's future depends on not selling this enormous asset.

Ukrainians for Stewart
my grandmother and grandfather left Ukraine, escape from communism. They
came to America, that are seeking freedom. When they settled in new Britain,
they thought that they were settling in free society with freedoms, as they can
never have to even dream in Europe. Now the Communists are trying to steal,
that the freedom of one big state control for other, I believe that one day we
all will wake up and think that is back behind the wall in Communist Soviet
Union. I think that voting for О'Брайен is voting for the same big communist government my
grandmother and grandfather hated and vote for Erin Stewart takes a position
for reduction of the state apparatus and individual freedoms. My grandmother
and grandfather must rotate in their graves on how these godless communists
destroy our nation once a good and free. Did not survive the destruction of
freedom by voting for democrats, who believe that communism is the way.

Alderman Adam Platosz did carry out his threat to evict his tenant for
being a candidate against him in ward two however, Adam she did move out has
she promised but, she stills resides in your district.
If you should have time to read this week's edition of the New Britain City Journal regarding endorsements
by this paper, Diane Domejczyk and Chris Duffy received its endorsement leaving
you and Ms. Black out in the cold within your district with the paper's
endorsement. Referring to both of as "bobble heads" for voting what the
Democratic party ordered.
What remains are the "Alleged code violations"within your
building. Will they continue to exist with the Mayor's office blocking the enforcement
of the alledged needed upgrades?
