New Britain Mayor's Real Financial Dilemma.

 
 

With Mayor Erin taken over the city’s mayor leadership role she found that her predecessor had wasted an excess of ten million dollars during his tenor and immediately buckle down to find ways to resolve the problem she is faced with.
Her predecessor had managed to execute raises with many city employees and has been known to not having the word “no” in his vocabulary.   Erin immediately renegotiated the raises with those employees saving an annual cost of two million dollars per year for the taxpayers.
With her seeking 80% more in reductions she has immediately requested all the management heads of city departments for budget reductions.
She also recognized that the needed HUD funding to the city for its various projects has been neglected, by the prior administration, so she has enlisted Mr. Ken Malinowski who is well versed with all the HUD grants that should have been provided to our city and asked him to work with HUD officials in an attempt to get some of those needed funds back to the city.  
Our newly appointed finance committee, which is chaired by former Alderperson Mary Morocco, has an assume task in preventing a twenty mill increase for the city taxpayers.
And hopefully mayor Stewart will not have to resort to a midyear tax assessment like occurred years ago.

O'Brien spent like a drunken sailor and now that the city is broke, I am sure the local Dems will blame Stewart even though it was their own fellow commie that pissed away the money.
