Recent media
interview held with Mayor Stewart where she has indicated selling some watershed
parcels.
Some six
months or so ago I had recommended doing the same in Burlington while recalling
many years ago of being involved in building the bridge to “nowhere as it was referred
too back then.” During that
construction project I couldn’t help noticing the mass amount of acreage being
allowed to be idle that could be put to better use.
When making my suggested to sell that
acreage I was immediately attacked by members of both parties indicating that
was a wrong step to take by New Britain.
I tip my hat
to Erin who is now contemplating doing just that in order to place New Britain’s
financial crises back in order.
Although I
do disagree with the leasing of our city’s parking facilities that she
is also thinking to doing.
We all know
that she is facing one of the hardest times, in our history as Mayor, and wish
her the best in her finding the right solutions for the city we all love.

had the foresight and interest of
the city at heart. Not just RE-ELECTION
