State Commissioner of Administrative Services opinion Was Wrong
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB
EDITORIAL:
On Friday, 10/5/13, Donald DeFronzo's letter to the editor to the New Britain Herald was printed on the "Opinion" page. The letter was entitled, "DeFronzo; Mayor O'Brien gets things done." The letter is written like a newspaper advertisement for O'Brien's reelection campaign. Letters to the editor in The Herald always print both the name of the author and the name of the town where the author resides, and in cases where it is appropriate, the person's title, e.g. "State Commissioner of Administrative Services." Such was not the case with this letter. The letter by DeFronzo had neither his town of residence (New Britain) nor his title , i.e., State Commissioner of Administrative Services !
I'm going to take a little license here; in my religion of choice we have two kinds of sins, "sins of omission and sins of commission." The Herald in its editorial lapses committed both types of sins. The Herald is a professional news medium and as such must not be forgiven for this lapse. The Herald should never have been complicit in this type of political chicanery.
"Don DeFronzo" is indeed setting an unfortunate example for his son who is a member of the New Britain Common Council and who is up for reelection. =

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
Governors of 35 states
have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens
upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional
Convention.
This will take less than
thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should address.
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have
been too complacent about the workings of Congress. The latest is to exempt
themselves from the Healthcare Reform that passed ... in all of its forms.
Somehow, that doesn't seem right.
Proposed 28th Amendment
to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to
the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators
and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the
Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of
the United States ..."

NEIL CAVUTO tells Mr. President Who Is At Fault
TRANSCRIPT OF NEIL CAVUTO ON FOX NEWS –
October 1, 2013
Mr.
President, Fox News isn't what's making Americans sick about your healthcare
law. Your healthcare law is. Welcome, everybody, I'm Neil Cavuto. And excuse
this departure from form. But I think this is just poor form. So, it's time
we set some things straight.
Mr.
President, we at Fox News are not the problem. I hate to break it to you,
sir. You are. Your words are. Your promises are. We didn't sell this
healthcare law. Sir, you did. Remember this?
President
Barack Obama: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.
Period.
Mr.
President, tell that to tens of thousands of retirees at IBM and Time Warner
and dozens of others, who've been dumped from their coverage and told to find
their own coverage. Fox News didn't break that news to them, Mr. President.
Their companies did.
Fox News
didn't push more of those firms to hire part-time workers. Your healthcare
law did. Fox News didn't incentivize fast food restaurants to scale back
their benefits. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't make doctors want to
opt out. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't make insurance premiums sky
rocket. Your healthcare law did. Just like Fox News didn't grant hundreds of
exemptions to companies that needed them. You did. And Fox News didn't delay
one key provision after another, including online enrollment for those small
business exchanges. You did.
Just like
it wasn't Fox News that said we had to pass this to see what was in this. You
did. Or was that Nancy Pelosi? Sometimes I'm confused. But of this I am not.
Fox News didn't re-do basic math. Sir, you did. Fox News didn't say you can
cover 30 million more Americans and not see a hit in premiums. You did. Fox
News didn't say you could throw in those with pre-existing conditions and not
have to pay for it. You did. Fox News didn't all but say you could get
something for nothing. You did. Fox News didn't come back years later and
say, oh yea, we did raise some taxes. You did.
Here's
where you are right about Fox News, however, Mr. President. We can do math.
And did. You cannot. And did not. We said it, and proved it. You didn't. And
we're all suffering for it. Take it from the numbers guy at Fox. Numbers
don't lie. The number of Americans working part-time and nervous. The number
of retirees days away from being dumped on exchanges and anxious. The number
of company bosses with any news to pass along on those exchanges, but still
clueless. The number of doctors who want out. The number of congressmen now
opting out. No, Mr. President, none of those numbers lie.
But with all due respect sir, I can only conclude
you do know; I know, I know you hate us at Fox. But please take a look in a
mirror, and fast. You think we're the skunk at your picnic. But that doesn't
mean we're the ones that stink. Because that smell isn't coming from the
folks reporting on your law. Mr. President, that smell is your law.
