Delusional Alderman??

Mr. William Ostapchuk stated the some of the following comments at last night’s common council meeting:  He noted that the fire prevention association mandates four firemen per truck with its arrival in 120 seconds but we only have three firemen per truck and the mayor’s budget proposes further cuts of the force from 35 men to 26 which does not met the fire protection standards “that determine home cost of insurance”.  He also indicated that he was advised by a public official that the fire department was too large and that maybe a fire house should be closed.  

 Alderman Louis Salvio in reputing Mr. Ostapchuk comments that he wanted the public to know that there is no investigation of the fire department ongoing and that one should check with the fire chief before making public statements.   Mr. Ostapchuk had referred to the alderman’s remark of calling him delusional in the past.

Maybe an investigation of the city’s fire  standards should be called for without any delay.    

 A meeting of the minds of the common council membership delusional or not should occur.

Gov. Malloy Signs Bills Establishing the Office of Early Childhood and Moving Connecticut toward Universal Pre-Kindergarten

Legislation Also Establishes the Office of Early Childhood and Includes Recognition of Dyslexia as a Primary Specific Learning Disability

Governor Dannel P. Malloy, joined by Commissioner of the Office of Early Childhood, Myra Jones-Taylor, State Department of Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor, state legislators and local officials, this afternoon signed two bills at the Helen Street School in Hamden that will expand pre-kindergarten for the state's three and four-year-olds, add dyslexia as a primary specific learning disability for children requiring special education, and formally establish the Office of Early Childhood.

"Ensuring that students are prepared to compete in a global economy and excel in twenty-first century careers means that we must strive to equip them with the knowledge, skills and tools they will need from day one," Governor Malloy said.  "This is not the case when a number of students in Connecticut come to kindergarten having had no learning experience prior to that.  By codifying the Office of Early Childhood in statute and moving our state toward universal access to pre-K we are taking significant steps to close the achievement gap and ensure that all students succeed -- regardless of income or zip code."

States face higher Welfare costs because of ObamaCare

- AP: “Before President Obama’s law expanded Medicaid eligibility, millions of people who were already entitled to its safety-net coverage were not enrolled. Those same people are now signing up in unexpectedly high numbers, partly because of publicity about getting insured under the law. For states red or blue, the catch is that they must use more of their own money to cover this particular group… whether or not a state expands Medicaid, all states are on the hook for a significantly bigger share of costs when it comes to people who were Medicaid-eligible under previous law.”

New Britain residents saddened with the loss of Deputy Fire Chief

May 26, 2014

For Immediate Release

The New Britain (CT) Fire Department (NBFD) is saddened to report the death of Deputy Chief David Fiori. Deputy Chief Fiori fell ill in his office at Fire Station #1 on Beaver Street at approximately 10pm on Sunday, May 25, 2014. His fellow firefighters immediately provided emergency medical care to him. He was transported by New Britain Emergency Medical Services (NBEMS) to the Hospital of Central Connecticut (HOCC) where he was treated in the Emergency Department. He later died at approximately 3:30am on May 26, 2014.             

Deputy Chief Fiori was a 36 year veteran of the New Britain Fire Department. He began as a New Britain firefighter in 1978 after serving in the United States Marine Corps. He rose through the ranks of Lieutenant, Captain and Deputy Chief and has served as the Acting Assistant Chief. 

“The loss of Deputy Chief Fiori is a tremendous loss for our members and Department”, stated Fire Chief Thomas Ronalter. “Deputy Chief Fiori was, and is, held in the highest regard by the members of this Department. His passing creates a void in our Department that will be felt for years to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chief Fiori's family” said Chief Ronalter.

“The entire City of New Britain mourns the loss of a dedicated public servant and dear friend, Deputy Chief Fiori. Our deepest sympathies and most heartfelt prayers are with the entire Fiori family at this time” stated Mayor Erin Stewart.    

The Fiori family is in the process of planning funeral services for Deputy Chief Fiori.

Further information will be released when available.

The Nasty New Britain Alderman of New Britain!

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

During the last common council meeting Alderman David DeFronzo adversely  questioned the mayor for her selecting a lobbying firm for advise without the council’s approval.   Then he recently posted on his Facebook page completely inaccurate information which was pointed out by a local media’s reporter.

We all can recall how the city nearly lost its financial control to a state takeover but, was saved by the “TANS” plan to prevent it with Aldermen DeFronzo, Michael Trueworhty and Adam Platosz disagreeing with our city’s financial advisor by battering him with question after question for a period of four hours before allowing the vote to take place.   Therefore, the council business was allowed continue at about eleven P. M. 

This blog pointed out that these are three individuals that certainly needs to be eliminated during our next election day for not representing our city needs that they were elected to represent.

Alderman DeFronzo, with media leaks, announced his intentions of running for mayor and has placed the blames to all the city’s problems onto our mayor while she has made many decisions in the city’s best interest without her concerning herself with her re-election quest.

Alderman DeFronzo with his need to enhance his changes to win the office of mayor he has enlisted his father, a state commissioner, to place former Mayor O’Brien to a state job, without qualifying for this position, even though many unemployed state  residents do qualify.  The commissioner did this with obtaining Governor Malloy’s’ approval.

Alderman DeFronzo with his furthering his attack onto Mayor Stewart has turned to his Facebook page and cited misinformation as stated by the local media.

A time for a change has arrived for both in New Britain and the state of Connecticut with voters ridding of themselves of the aforementioned Socialist.

Half of Doctors Won't Take On New Medicaid Patients

With the Medicaid program poised to expand due to the Affordable Care Act, a new survey involving 1,399 medical offices in 15 large metropolitan markets shows that more than half of doctors won't accept new Medicaid patients.

Merritt-Hawkins, a Texas-based national healthcare consulting firm, surveyed doctors in five specialties — cardiology, dermatology, orthopedic surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, and family practice — and found that just 45.7 percent will accept new Medicaid patients.

That is down from 55.4 percent in 2009, before Obamacare was signed into law.

According to the survey's authors, "The rate at which physicians accept Medicaid can vary for a number of reasons. In some cases, reimbursement rates provided by Medicaid to particular specialists may be below their cost of providing services. If not actually below costs, Medicaid reimbursement often is relatively low compared to that offered by other payers, and therefore busy physicians may have no economic incentive to see Medicaid patients.

"In other cases, the process of billing for and receiving Medicaid payment can be problematic and some physicians choose to avoid it."

The Medicaid program is one of the major ways Obamacare expands coverage, and 7 million additional people are expected to be added to the program this year, although they won't necessarily be able to access healthcare, according to a report on the survey from the Heritage Foundation.

"By further expanding this broken program, Obamacare will only exacerbate the situation, continuing to harm many low-income Americans who have no option other than Medicaid," according to Heritage Foundation policy analyst Kevin Dayaratna.

The survey found that last year Boston had the highest rate of Medicaid acceptance by physicians in the 15 markets, 73 percent, followed by Portland, Ore., with 63.5 percent.

Dallas had the lowest rate, 23 percent, and Minneapolis was next with 23.6 percent.

But rates among some specialties were far lower than the overall rates in some metro areas. Just 7 percent of cardiologists in Minneapolis accept new Medicaid patients, no dermatologists in Dallas will take them on, and only 20 percent of doctors in family practice in Denver accept new Medicaid patients.

In contrast, the average rate of Medicare acceptance in the five specialties in the 15 markets was 76 percent, including 98 percent in Boston and 95.8 percent in Detroit.

The Merritt-Hawkins report concludes: "As millions of the previously uninsured obtain healthcare coverage through the ACA, ways will need to be found to ensure access to physicians."

President Obama Lack of Leadership Questioned!

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

---

President Obama has never taken responsibility for any lack of leadership but to blame former President Bush and whoever else that may come to his mind.

In order to deflect his lack of leadership domestically and abroad he has recently blamed global warming and our the Secretary of State claimed the same posture.

This new direction started with the President’s visit to the west where the farmers are experiencing a drought due to lack of rain and or water.

With the administration now resorting to blaming “Global Warming” as being the cause of western famers dilemma elaborates the fact the President has a short memory whereby Nancy Pelosi some three years ago stopped the irrigation to the western farmers and wasn’t her that introduced the “OBACARE Legislation”  saying “ We haven’t had time to read it but let’s pass it and read it later.”

We all know the disaster that Obamacare has turned out to be and with our president resorting to blaming “ global warming” has being the culprit is his way to deflect why Democratic candidates are not asking for his support during their upcoming mid-term elections.

Who does our President have to blame, not former President Bush, but Pelosi but he will not by resorting to his global warming stance.   

Mr. President Pelosi is your “problem.”

Benghazi leaves many unanswered questions to be answered by the White House.

What transpired within the oval office during the unfortunate attack and why was help denied to at least try to save the ambassador and his staff?

Those answers are kept by the secret service logs and visitors logs and will be a far reach for the investigative team to seek.  

 Another unanswered question is where was the president, within the White House until his departure to Las Vegas, could it be in and out of the situation room but not providing any help to ward off the fatal attack?

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

The VA widows do not appreciate the President’s stating his is mad as hell over the VA/scandal because he hasn’t shown that any corrections will ever get done or will make the adverse Veterans affairs go away.   Unfortunately, our war heroes have been dyeing while waiting for their needed medical care at the veterans hospital with made up waiting list that the media cited the list being fictitious in nature.  Our well known senator John McCain, r- Az., himself, a well-known prisoner of war, one might ask where has he been for the last six years or so while his fellow war mates has been denied their needed medical attention. 

While the President and his aid, Jay Carney, continue to deny the situation is as critical as the media claims.  It is time for the inspector general’s office to inspect all the charges permeating from the denied care to all our war heroes without any delay. 

Pelosi Sets Up the Benghazi Circus

The Democrats didn't want hearings on Benghazi -- they called for a boycott and called hearings a "waste of time." And now, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's appointment of five highly partisan members to the Select Committee who have made their disdain very clear, the Democrats have signaled that not only do they want to make sure these hearings are a waste of time, they will do everything they can to make the hearings a circus

What Differance does it Make REPORT: HILLARY SEEKS COVER FROM BENGHAZI COMMITTEE

What difference does the House’s Special Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi attacks make to 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton? Enough of one for Clinton allies to push House Democratic leadership to drop plans of boycotting the panel. Politico reports: “Clinton emissaries launched a back channel campaign, contacting several House Democratic lawmakers and aides to say they’d prefer Democrats participate, according to sources familiar with the conversations. [House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s] staff said they have not heard from Clinton’s camp… On Wednesday, Pelosi appointed five Democrats to the committee, giving Democrats another crucial mission in the months ahead of what was already a tough election year: act as Clinton’s first line of defense.”

American Socialized Medicine?

FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:

---

The white house has not explained the VA loss of the dead veterans/ scandal.   What the press has neglected to mention for at least the last three years or more is the reference of the death panel which is included within the 2700 hundred pages of the affordable care act, which is now referred to, as rationing care.

Obama Care is the President’s biggest failure and it is just the beginning of many instances to appear with hospitals closing up due to the many restrictions imposed on them with all the record requirements legislated for them to follow.

Unfortunately, the veterans loss of life, at the VA, will certainly be minuscule to the Washington mandates of who will get medical care or not by determination if a person has outlived his usefulness, with old age being a major factor; and decided by federal bureaucrats, and not medical professionals that commonly will be known as “socialized medicine”.    

Immediate repeal of the affordable care act should be passed by Congress.

Comments made to the members of the common council by Mr. Bill Ostapchuk on May 14th.

Honorable Mayor and Honorable Members of the Common Council

I wish to thank you for the long hours of hard work that you have put in addressing
the very serious economic issues facing our community. My expression of gratitude
goes to the members of the Board of Finance and Taxation who labored long and
conscientiously in reviewing information before submitting their recommended budget
proposal to the mayor.

Their labors were acknowledged by the mayor for it appears that in preparing her
proposed budget for 2015 she accepted many of the recommendations of the Board of Finance and Taxation without change.

I am surprised that with the severity of this economic crisis that there was not a more
equitable distribution of its costs to all departments for the coming year. I do understand that the Board. of Finance and Taxation reviewed all requests submitted and made reductions.
However, preliminary review ofthe mayor's proposed budget suggests that the school
department, the fire department and the Office of Human Rights and Opportunities and the Bureau of Youth and Family Services bear a greater share of that cost.

The Board of Education request was $133,758,000 was as we all know reduced by the Board of Taxation and Financed and further reduced by the mayor. I am glad to see that the mayor, the Common Council and the Board of Education have formed a Blue Ribbon Committee to
work together to address the differences that exist. With 624 properties for sale in our
community there is the opportunity to attract young families which is important to our well- being.

The fire department's budget request for 15 .09 million was reduced by the Board of Finance and Taxation to $13.3 million and the mayor further reduced this request by 1.2 million in her proposed budget. What is surprising to me is that the mayor accepted the budget recommendations of the Board of Finance and Taxation as submitted with little or no change for many departments including Town Clerk, Treasurer's Office, Finance Department, public library, youth museum and the senior center. The proposed reduction in the fire department budget will have serious repercussions.

Please do not misrepresent what I have said. I am surprised that there was not a more equitable distribution of cuts in the budget.

I was very surprised in the mayor's proposal that she eliminates all line items in her budget for the city's Office of Human Rights and Opportunities.

It also eliminates all line items for the Bureau of Youth and Family Services
except salaries which have been reduced in the mayor's budget proposal from $234, 528 to $80,321. Cutting back the budget virtually eliminates this Bureau and its ability to leverage money. At present 48 percent of its budget is funded through local tax dollars while 52 percent comes from grant sources. I would suggest that in times of financial crisis, the Bureau of
Youth and Family Services provides an example for others and that you would want bureau's and departments to leverage tax dollars to obtain other funding and to work collaboratively with other departments and agencies within the city.

Patrick added the prevailing opinion that Clinton has a clear course to the White House is, “off-putting to the average voter,” warning.

Questional Clinton Run for _Presidency

But Bubba’s press secretary doesn’t see a Hillary run - Taking a contrarian view, Bill Clinton’s former press secretary Mike McCurry does not see 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton making another White House bid. In a recent interview with Real Clear Politics the Clinton confidant said, “The work she is doing through the Clinton Foundation with her husband and her daughter she finds terrifically rewarding . . . we all know what running for president is like. It’s kind of hanging around in Manchester, N.H., and Otumwa, Iowa, at the local Denny’s shaking hands with a lot of sometimes less-than-interesting local political people.” McCurry furthered, “So she is going to do that for the next 2½ years at the age of 65 when she could be doing all this great stuff on a global stage? I don’t know. I think that’s why she hasn’t said ‘I’m doing it.”

[“You get close to the presidency, you have to release health records to show that you are, you know, in good enough condition to hold the office. She [Hillary Clinton] is approaching the age…that Ronald Reagan had reached when he ran for president in 1980. Something we’ll be dealing with at some point. John McCain had to deal with it. Others as well.”—Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume discussing Karl Rove’s suggestion that Clinton may have brain damage. Watch here. ]

Amazingly, the 4.88 mill rate increase was not the major concern of the speakers but some voiced their concerned of the continued need for the school budget to get the 4.4 Million that the school board received last year but our Mayor is standing to her original decision regarding this matter.

Little mention that the city may be facing employee layoffs but many of the speakers were pushing for more free stuff.   One can only be concerned what will happen with many of our working residents, that are moving out of Connecticut, who will be left to provide the needed free stuff?
