Repeal of Obamacare is still very strong:
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
We can all recall Ms. Pelosi stating that we do not have time to read the documents but let’s pass this this and read it later.
The liberals did this with their assumption with the passage of time this new law would grow in popularity and repeal would be a no-go.
With 26 states wanting to secede from the union because of Obamacare may the repeat of the civil war that occurred many years ago.

The Presidents's vauge Cuts
I'm going to bite the bullet, too!!!!
President Obama ordered the cabinet to cut $100,000,000.00 ($100 million) from the $3,500,000,000,000.00 ($3.5 trillion) yearly federal budget.
I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2,000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc., but it's time to get out the budget cutting axe, go through my expenses, and cut back.
I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio (1/35,000) of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2,000 a month, I'm going to have to cut that number by six cents. Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about.
I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries – six cents worth.
Did this President actually think no one would do the math? Please consider passing along so people understand how idiotic a $100 million cut is in a $3.5 trillion budget – ludicrous
"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation...One is by sword...The other is by debt."
John Adams 1826

Ronald Regan at His Best
Ronald Reagan while a movie actor, delivered one of his best speeches during his career, which he gave at the Orange County Press Club on July 28, 1961.
Reagan predicted that the Americans were slowly surrendering to socialism as the socialist predicted they would. He continued by stating that the socialist ultimate tool is the progressive tax adding, none to these extensions of socialism can be effective without money.

New Britian Restuarants are being Attacked by the Fee Committee
The ordinance proposed by Alderman Larry Hermanowski requiring video cameras, metal detectors and guards in all night clubs would apply all establishments that hold café' permits that serve alcohol. In addition night clubs would also be required to expose all partners within the organization with a "fee" of $1500.00 for a license and application to the city. A club also is required to hire guards, one for every 50 guests, and to post at least two more guards in the parking lots. The owners will also be required to hire as many off duty police officers that the police administration requires.
Even more disturbing is the fact that the Hermanowski requires that the private guards will required to use hand wand metal detectors on all the patrons.
Hermanowski also wants to require working cameras at all entrances and exits and to include more cameras in the parking lots.
He also wants to impose the checking of all patrons for the legal age (something already required by the state Liquor Control Act) and a $250 fine per day penalty for each violation will be assessed against the owners. This is a $250 fine assessed by the city and is above and beyond the fines already assessed by the state Department of Consumer Protection for these same violations.
This in essence will force the existing establishments to leave the city which will soon become a ghost city with all the adverse proposals being introduced by this administration such as the infamous $l50 fee per apartment against the landlords together with the adverse hotspot regulation.
Someone must tell Alderman Hermanowski that these establishments pay the state of Conn. a $5,000 fee for their license application.
Wednesday night The common council's sub-committee on Finance and law approved in sending the proposed ordinance to the council but added a requirement of a $20,000 surety bond by promoters.
Are the Aldermen looking for all the liquor license restaurants to leave town because of all the added fees they are imposing on them similar to rental and hotspot licensing fees the Landlords being subjected to?
New Britain will soon become a Ghost Town If the administration gets its way. It makes you wonder what anti-business ordinance the council will dream of next.

Mayor O’Brien is looking for ways to handle absentee landlord’s behavior.
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
After mass demonstration that occurred at city hall with a crowd of an estimated 550 demonstrators against imposing the hot spot and licensing fees to be paid by the out of town landlords. These fees also apply to resident landlords who live in the city but not in his rental properties.
The real question what will Mayor O’Brien and his council do when the court agrees with the landlord’s suit that the fees are arbitrarily selective and illegal? Raise taxes in order to make up for the short fall?
Will the outspoken landlord, Sam Zherka, be forced to take up residence in the city so as to be able to direct his fight against the infamous eleven Aldermen re-elections who voted for these adverse ordinances.
The Waterbury based Ct. Property Owner’s Alliance refers to the council’s acts as an selective money grab on the backs of landlords.
That is why the real estate professionals recently announced that they are not recommending New Britain properties to interested buyers.
But Sherwood calls this action is against “slumlords” but many of the out of town owners are responsible caretakers of their properties.
Dwight Blint, on the other hand, calls it a discriminatory tax and not a fee which in turns hurts good landlords more than the bad ones.

" It would be interesting to know how the property taxes on the Cancer Center on the NB/Plainville line and the municipal services provided by NB and Plainville will be divided. Will they be equally shared or will New Britain end up getting the smaller piece of the property tax pie and more responsibilities to provide services?
Citizen taxpayers should keep a very close eye on this venture.

Mayor's Reval Suggestions Change After Court Injunctons Rulings
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Mayor Tim O’Brien recently announced that the reval to lower
taxes for the multi-family property owners.
This comes in the wake of two court filings requesting injunctions to reject two recent ordinances passed by the common council the infamous Hotspot, and the $l50 per apartment fees.
The Mayor also ignores factual appraisals of our local property values plummeting by 30%.
Mr. Mayor; you should be ready to raise taxes, after the court rules in favor of the landlord’s injunctions, in order for you and the common council to make up the anticipated income these bad ordinances would have realized.

City of New Britain's "Gag Order" Against The New Britain City Journal!
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Denying the ability to make any comments by all city employees to the New Britain City Journal as ordered by the Mayor's office and Phil Sherwood may leave the city exposed to a federal violation of selection of one paper and not all papers by denying access for information distribution to one of the city's media. Spokesman Sherwood allegedly admitted he would even be limiting his contributions, to the journal, from the mayor's office and would have to see day by day if he deemed the paper worthy of comment.
Does Sherwood really think he is New Britain's Messiah??
Not to mention the possible Law suit exposure, in addition to the Feds, that may ensue if the New Britain City Journal decides to sue for the vicious attack on its paper's selectively, credibility and discriminatory actions by the Mayor's office.

Mayor O'Brien Doesn't Address the Belvedere Resident's Concerns But Sherwood Does
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
Drinking Party Causes 50 Arrest for under aged Drinking in New Britain
With that many arrest involving some CCSU students. With 47 of the arrest being for underage possession of alcohol would certainly be a need for the elected top official of our city to address any and all press releases rather than his minion with his claiming it has been a long standing issue in the belvedere neighborhood being the reason for the controversial passage of the “ HotSpots” ordinance recently.
Mr. Sherwood citing it is unfair for the taxpayers to be forced to subsidized nuisance complaints.
Enough is enough; all the Sherwood comments should have been made by the elected official; the Mayor himself. The city’s electorate is entitled to hear directly from the Mayor.
Isn’t the mayor wise enough to realize that all these Sherwood’s comments over the past year are only setting himself up to run for mayor during the next election cycle because the apathetic public believe he is the mayor from then many Sherwood quotes they read in the local papers .

The Mysterious Rumors at City Hall Mounts UP.
FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL:
The cutting off of any communications with a local paper by the O’Brien/Sherwood administration has everyone talking.
Many variations of explanations as to the real reasons the Mayor is upset with the New Britain City Journal but he is exposing himself and the city to a violation of the employee’s constitution rights-- “the right of free speech” denied to all city employees as reported in recently in the “CITY JOURNAL” and FSSNB.
The Mayor’s/Sherwood’s worries are just beginning to surface and from my vantage point and they will not survive the onslaught.
I have heard all the variations too numerous to mention but the most intriguing one is that Christmas will not be a good one for either of them.
So I cannot help but wonder if the aforementioned will make it a happy Christmas for the city’s taxpayers and the so called “absentee landlords.”
Perhaps, Mr. Sam Zherka, is just the man that can help the citizens of New Britain to fight city hall , by helping to rid the city of the 11 alderman who voted for the ill-conceived ordinances , and also for referring to him as a absentee slumlord.
