Suggest you time this for Monday, May 2nd (Tax Freedom Day). Thanks.
==========================================
Dear Editor;
Today, May 2nd is Tax Freedom Day in Connecticut. This means those of us working since January 1st will have earned enough money to pay our taxes for the year today. Stop and digest that: Flash back to New Years Day and realize all your sweat and toil from that first day of the year till now has all gone to pay your federal, state and local taxes.
Wait! There’s more good news! The first tax freedom day in the US was on March 26th in Mississippi. The US average was 102 days or, April 12th on the calendar. Yes, you guessed it: We’re #1!!!! Connecticut residents spend 122 days working to pay their taxes; the longest in the entire nation.
When do you think we’ll celebrate next year since Governor Malloy wants to increase our taxes again? And what about some on our Common Council will no doubt want to throw money to special interests, raising our taxes here in New Britain again. Maybe tax freedom day for us will be the end of June, six full months. That would make it easy; we’ll just mail every other paycheck to the government until they raise the taxes again.
Let’s stop the insanity. There is no more money to give. There will be even less to give when all the employers leave for friendlier pastures. Demand our politicians reduce our taxes by cutting spending. We have a spending problem; not a revenue problem.
It’s simple: tell them today you won’t vote for them in November if your taxes increase; then do just that.

NEW BRITAIN ALDERMAN CARLO CARLOZZI EARNED THE SHAME HE MERITS.
During April 13 thirteenth's meeting Carlozzi's vicious attack bestowed onto the Finance Director, Robert Carry, extremely was uncalled for. With his bringing up a private report to the city council members was soon to become public with all the childish questions by his demanding who told the director to include the names of the spouses, their annual income, and where they work. His tirade went on for a considerable period of time even subsequent to the Mayor's admission that he had ordered that information to be included within the report. Those in attendance may recall Alderman Pabon's comment erased the tenseness in the council chambers when he exclaimed "I didn't know my wife made that much money."
Phase two surfaces during the Council meeting held on April 27th. when the Finance director decided to speak to the council during Public Participation after he reviewed the city's employment policies. Claiming that he was publicly attacked by Alderman Carlozzi citing that this was a planned assault. He continued with his charges of imitation, schoolyard bullying, and harassment.
Mr. Currey then asked that the council to elaborate what the terms of owned and or operated means. The council passed Mr. Curry's request with one voting nay.
This all stems from Democratic attacks on two local business owners serving on the Republican side of the isle Aldermen Pabon and Bernacki.
After the Council meeting was aired on TV many public comments were in full support for Mr. Curry.
