Letter to the Editor by The Council Minority Leader
5/7/11
Everyone should know by now that the State delegation members from New Britain are all Democrats. Similarly, every taxpayer in New Britain should know by now that Democrats on the Common Council outnumber Republicans, 11 to 4.
In the Herald, it has been announced that all five Democrats of the New Britain delegation voted unanimously to approve the state budget offered by Governor Malloy. THEY DID THIS EARLIER THIS WEEK KNOWING THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS YET TO HAVE AGREEMENT ON A $2 BILLION, 2 YEAR CONCESSION AGREE ENT WITH STATE EMPLOYEE UNIONS. TENTATIVELY, BOTH DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED HOUSES OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE APPROVED THE BUDGET! Most vociferous about this move was State Rep., Tim O’Brien. The Herald had quotes from no other NB delegate
Now, consider the New Britain Common Council. Again, Democrats hold an 11 to 4 super majority of votes on the Council, similar to the state delegation. What’s the difference? The New Britain delegation led by Mayor Pro Tem, Mike Trueworthy says, hold on, Mayor Stewart. You want to tell us that you are cutting 10 % of the “CITY” budget from all city departments but you won’t tell us from where? True worthy says, “ I only have half the ball!!” Who are you going to lay off? How will each city department cut 10%? Trueworthy, who works at the State Capitol, is OK with Malloy’s budget but not with Stewart’s budget – he wants to know more. WHY? He wants to interfere! If he tried that at the state level he would be sent home. Should Mayor Stewart release right now the names of those who will be laid off? Should he release any information that is covered by union contracts? Come on Mike, you know better
Trueworthy tries, as he has done for seven years to violate the City Charter. It won’t work Mike. Even with your eleven votes. Voters of New Britain; beware of Trueworthy’s promises, he’s not allowed to fulfill them, even with the 11 votes. Trueworthy uses fictitious and specious rhetoric to make promises. Too bad for those that believe this babble.
So, you see, our state delegation is OK with voting for a state budget without all pertinent information, but our city Democrats cry, we only have half of a ball! Wake up New Britain! The Common Council Democrats forgot about you the day they were elected.

Recent Census a Farce For The Mattabassett District.
Many years ago The Town of Cromwell connected their Northeast section of town to the MDC in Hartford rather than building a pump station sending their waste water sewage to the Mattabassett. This way the district realizes no benefit financially from this area of town therefore, these homes involved should not be counted for the purpose of the census count resulting in a loss of the anticipated additional seat, to the District, for the town of Cromwell.
Additionally, The Town of Berlin as an unusual distinction with its Chamberlain Highway area with no sewers but all septic system tanks offering no revenue to the Mattabassett. The census count should not include for this vast area of Berlin possibly causing a loss of representation to the Mattbassett board of directors by one seat.
With the City of New Britain carrying the bigger load with its being 99% sewered.
The State Legislative leaders must realize that Chairman William Candelori's proposed plan for the district's representation is a "FARCE" and a careful review of the proposed plan must take place at our state capitol.
