It would be a win-win for everyone involved.; April 17, 2014 at 11:33 AM

Financially and in all other ways, O'Brien was inept. He raised NB's Mil Rate by over 8 mills and his Democrat led Council bonded for supplies, i.e., books and such. He put us in a hole financially that will be difficult to fix.
One time revenues must not become a staple in putting together annual budgets.

A Mayor must budget for the whole city, not just for one department. And why is Saavedra doing all the talking? Has Cooper become a mute? Where is the BOE's Finance Director? Another mute?
This won't wash Sharon. The taxpayers of New Britain must not pay for the sins of O'Brien and the 12 Bobble Head Democrats that voted for his budget. Let's see if our state legislative contingent stands up for all NB Taxpayers or just for themselves; how about it, Gerratana, Lopes, Sanchez, Tercyak? Speaking of Tercyak, does he ever come to NB?; April 17, 2014 at 4:29 PM
