New Britain Taxpayers get a11% Tax Increase!


After hours of lengthy discussions by the common council membership it approved Mayor Stewart’s proposed budget of 4.88 mil increase tonight.  Mayor Stewart must be commended for her budget proposal without her concerning herself for her re-election bid.   She has honestly acted what is best for the city and its taxpayers.  She has won my vote trusting she has garnered all the votes of the citizens that elected her to the office of mayor.  The lengthy discussions that occurred was caused by the Democrats attempting to add more free stuff to the budget that they always support.
Councilman Jamie Giantonio must be commended for supporting the Mayor's proposed budget citing it is 'responsible and not balanced with inflated revenue numbers" which stopped the DeFronzo, Trueworthy and Platosz  push to get more free stuff as aforementioned.

Someone has to pay for the reckless spending of the communist regime that was in power for the past two years.

Why not cut spending by 11% instead? Start by laying off a bunch of the teachers that get 6 figure salaries to teach about 6 kids and they only have to work 9 months out of the year for their $100 grand.

As long as you still have unions in city hall, the city employees will continue to get double digit raises each year that you and I will be forced to pay for even though we don't get any raises at all at our private sector jobs. We are being forced to pay for the government class to live high off the hog at our expense. The government class of workers is rapidly becoming the elitist rich in this society while those of us that have to pay for their lavish lifestyles get poorer and poorer.
