New Britain's Financial Crisis

Mayor Erin Stewart called state of the city financial situation in a Crisis in her state of the City address.   She received constant resistance form the Democratic leadership for reducing the million dollars of Bonding she was advised to so by the bonding advisors hired by the city’s common council.

With the persistence of Aldermen Robert Smedley, Jamie Giantonio, Wilfredo Pabon, Louis Salvio, Daniel Salerno,  Don Naples and Carlo Carlozzi, Jr. fighting against the democratic leadership lead by Michael Trueworhty together with his Democratic minions with their defeatus approach against the Mayor’s attempt to place the city back onto the right track.

With all the nerve in the world Alderman Trueworhty rose to warn that he will oppose the vital vote that would cause a State takeover of the city’s finances like occurred to Bridgeport and Waterbury as though he was warning his followers to do the same. So they followed with Aldermen DeFronzo, Platosz, voting with Trueworthy and not acting in the best interest of the city that their oath dictates for them to act.

These Democrats need to be replaced by the voters in the next election however, the mayor should exercise her veto powers to apposed the Democratic retention of their favorite four million bond for the Chesley park and Washington park swimming pools along with any other bonds they retained in order to place our financial crises in its right order as Alderman Giantonio stated “ it will gives us the time to work out to resolve our problems.”
