Letters To The Editor:
Several weeks ago I sent in a post asking if anyone in the blogosphere was interested in running for public office in New Britain to call me (for consideration on the republican ticket) or to contact the democrats (for consideration on the democratic ticket).
Time is running out as both political slates are being assembled. If anyone else is interested in running for the Common Council people can me at 223-8995 and I can forward your name(s) to the appropriate people.
The makeup of the council is as follows:
2 candidates from each party for each of the 5 wards and 5 candidates from each party for city wide election. Wards are sections of the city. The top 2 vote getters in each ward win and the top 5 vote getters at large win.
Regardless of your party affiliation IT'S TIME TO GET INVOLVED.

REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE
WILLIAM L. GAGLIARDI
MONTHLY REPORT – MAY 2009
I was honored this month to receive the Police Commissioners Association Distinguished Chief Award on May 28, 2009. I want to thank the Police Commission for nominating me and attending the event. I want to thank Commissioner Mercier for introducing me at the event. I also was particularly pleased to have Union President John Gonzalez, V.P. Peter Scirpo, past-President Philip Caseria, and State FOP President John Flynn present with other officers from the Executive Board and regular members of the Department there.
I have received the certified police officer list and we have begun the background investigations. We still need to get clarification on our budget to determine just how many officers we can hire. I attended a Common Council subcommittee meeting to plead our case and I appreciate the Board members being in attendance to support our position that we need all the officers.
This month was filled with events to remember our fallen military and Police Officers killed in the line of duty. We held our annual Police Memorial services this month, members attended the Police Memorial Dinner to benefit survivors, we had the Honor Guard attend the Police Memorial Services at the Police Academy, and we attended the Armed Forces Day services with a number of military veterans who are police officers. We also marched in the Memorial Day Parade.
Members of the Department participated in a State-wide sweep of high level drug dealers. Many police departments and DEA Agents were involved in the event. There were nearly 3 dozen arrests with property seizures, cash and drugs taken into evidence. The case originated when New Britain undercover officers made drug arrests that eventually led to the widening of the investigation to the State level. We are very proud of our undercover officers whose names are not being disclosed to protect their identities.
My staff and I have reviewed our strategic plan for any pandemic flu outbreak and we had a conference call with the Governor to assured us that the State is ready to support our efforts should the need arise.
The Department made 1317 arrests for the month with 559 being criminal in nature and 767 were infractions. The department has received a total of 4,441 cases this month. We are continuing the trend of reduced calls for service as we have recorded 697 less calls for service this year than the same time last year.

Great News!
The Common Council has on their agenda for next week, a proposal or a resolution to sell the Pinnacle Heights property for a sum of $5,000,000 to a second buyer after the first failed to consummate their deal for an additional $1,000,000.
Another deal including the sale of the downtown property located 121-131 Main Street for $2,000,000 with an added provisional clause for approval of building plans and lease back of a portion of the facility for use as a police station to Arete Development Group.
And lastly, a resolution for negotiating an agreement to finalize the arrangements with the Hospital of Central Connecticut for ending the ground lease which currently expires December 31, 2013. The resolution would authorize the Mayor to negotiate the termination of this agreement with the hospital two years earlier for an undetermined sum to be negotiated by the mayor.
These initiatives should not be interfered with by rumors or innuendos that occurred in the past regarding any or these developers who are planning to invest in our city.
We should all show the mayor our support on these issues so he can bring the city the best deals possible.

Maybe it is time the NBDTC chairman should begin to recognize the liberal spew he is shoveling does not include the President’s current activities that are destroying the USA as we knew it.
Trillions of dollars in debt, causing the interest cost to exceed our national gross income and setting us up for super inflation in the coming months and years, seizing private industries for the government to run and his designing a dictatorship full of Russian style Czars which violates our Constitution that we all value and fought wars to retain.
The Messiah would like all Americans to believe he is the better solution. God only believed in a 10 per cent stipend, but it is more evident all the time that the Messiah won't be happy until he is seizing all of our income for his Marxist regime.
The liberalism you support will only help to enable our President to continue with his planned destruction that his stimulus has already begun financially. Now he wants to destroy the best health care system in the world and bring this country down to where we have 3 to 5 year waiting lines to see a doctor and a government bureaucrat making all of our health care decisions based on cost savings versus medical need. He constantly uses Canada and the United Kingdom of examples of where he wants to take us, and they are two of the world's worst health care systems that ever existed on the face of the earth. The UK has one of the worst cancer mortality rates in the world--similar to 3rd world nations like Zimbabwe--and this is the direction that your Messiah wants to lead this country in. It is no wonder that even in a liberal organization like the American Medical Association that only represents about 20% of all doctors because it is way too left wing leaning for the majority of American doctors, your Messiah was booed during his speech this week.
It is leadership by radical extremists like we have here in New Britain that is responsible for the Democratic party losing 9% of its national membership (according to the Pew report) since January and for the first time in history, independent voters are the majority party in America because they are rejecting both parties in record numbers.
The fact that people are rejecting your party like never before shows that this is change that most of us do not believe in.
