Blight Legality Becomes Topic


During the Connecticut alliance meeting held at the Whinstone Restaurant last evening, with all the speeches given by the dignitaries finally, Erin Stewart was introduced to the crowd as the candidate for mayor for the city of New Britain.  

She introduced her running mates stating that they are a mixture of the community, Democrats, Republicans, Unaffiliated, and Independents.  During the evening she had heard many comments referring to Mayor O'Brien's Blight law that has no legal merit for enforcement.   Therefore, Erin took advantage of citing her feelings on the blight issue by her "saying the only blight in the city of New Britain is at City Hall."

RENTER BEWARE IF YOUR RE-ELECT O'BRIEN'S SLATE!


This Election Does Matter to You WHY YOUR RENT WILL INCREASE IF TIMOTHY O'BRIEN IS RE-ELECTED


Mayor Timothy O'Brien has passed several new ordinances and fees that will increase
costs for landlords who provide affordable housing for you and your neighbors.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: When housing expenses go up, the rent goes up; it's as simple as that! Your
landlord will pass along their increased costs in the form of increased rent and
nobody can afford rent increases right now.
Timothy O'Brien has told you that policies are anti-blight ordinances, NOT TRUE!
If this were true, these fees would only be collected from blighted properties, not
from all landlords who don't live in their rental buildings. You don't live in a
blighted building, so why should your landlord have to pass these increased costs
on to you? This is a money grab that will be paid by the tenants of New Britain.
Did you know that the Mayor made a sweetheart deal on his licensing tax with
the biggest out-of-town landlord represented by a lawyer who is a political friend
of the Mayors; they will pay less per unit than a 3-family landlord. Why?
Your life may be at risk because of O'Brien's 9-1-1 fine ... and the city expects to
collect 2 million dollars this year from it, it's in the city budget! Why would any
sane person want to fine someone for calling for help?
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT:

On November 5th, you can vote to remove the Mayor that created these ordinances
and help to keep housing affordable in New Britain. Your landlord should not be forced
to raise your rent because Timothy O'Brien has increased the cost of providing rental
housing to
New Britain residents.

BE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE
AND •••
MAKE SURE YOU VOTE TIM O'BRIEN OUT AS MAYOR ON NOVEMBER 5th

The Adverse Political Scene in New Britain


FRANKSMITHSAYSNB EDITORIAL
 
Unfortunately, information has surfaced that a former mayor and his cohorts are going around the Broad Street area, commonly known for its polish heritage,   advising all who would listen to their fabrications that the Republican candidate is too young to run the city as Mayor.

Historically, Democrats here in New Britain are known, to bend the truth with an outright fabrication without hesitation, in support for their carpetbagger mayor whose work history is very limited of being a food bagger at a grocery store.  

 The twenty six year old Erin Stewart has earned a degree from CCSU compared to O’Brien’s who didn’t finish his first semester. 

She has lived in New Britain all of her life and loves the city.

O’Brien proudly accepted the endorsement, together with some members of his slate, form Bertha Lewis the president of The Working Family party and infamous Acorn Organization known for election corruption.

Socialism is alive and well in New Britain but, it will hopefully come to an end when Erin and her slate gets elected in our "next city election."

September 17, 2013
I wish to invite you all to attend our event;
Wednesday September 18, 2013, 7:00PM
The Whinstone Restaurant
245 Hartford RD in New Britain.
Let's Keep Housing Affordable In New Britain  
No Friend To Housing
 
 
Nobody wants to pay more to live in a home or apartment. 
 
Mayor O'Brien's housing ordinances guarantee higher rents and property expenses. MAKE NO MISTAKE, right after the election on November 5th, he will enforce his policies. The city budget has nearly $2,000,000 in fees from 9-1-1 fines, so this is a crisis! 
 
I do not want to rely on the Courts to stop these fees and fines, it will take too long, so let's solve the problem ourselves! I ask all good Tenants and Landlords to unite and protect New Britain housing by ousting Mayor O'Brien on election day.
Instead of listening to our suggestions, the O'Brien Administration tried to silence us by holding "emergency" Common Council meetings with short notice and no public speaking. 
 
NOW OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES WILL BE HEARD! 
 There is strength in numbers!  BE THERE ON SEPTEMBER 18th!
Come celebrate the formation of our Political Action Committee.

Let's keep housing affordable for all!

Light snacks and refreshments will be available.
Sincerely,
 
Bob De Cosmo
President, CT Property Owners Alliance Inc.

CPOA announces plans for debate


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Sept 11, 2013, New Britain, CT - The Citizen’s Property Owner’s Association of New Britain has announced their plans to hold it’s first ever debate for Mayoral candidates Timothy O’Brien and Erin Stewart on Sunday, October 20th. “Our organization is dedicated to educating the public on issues of concern among property owners and taxpayers in the city of New Britain” said Catherine Cheney, the organization’s Events Chair. “A debate is the perfect way to allow both candidates to speak directly to the public.”

Cheney says the CPOA has already secured a location and a date for the event. “All we are waiting on is confirmation from both candidate’s campaigns. Invitations were sent out earlier this week.” The proposed debate would be in two parts. The first would be a traditional debate where candidates will answer moderated questions and the second would be more of a town hall style meeting, with candidates answering audience questions.

“We have a bipartisan panel drafting questions for the moderated debate session and no candidates for office who are members of the CPOA are involved in drafting or approving those questions.” Cheney said. “Our goal is the have a fair and open debate.

When asked how this debate will contrast with the League of Women Voter’s Debate, Cheney cited a few differences. “Our debate will be fully open to all broadcast media. We also will allow candidate campaigns to record and use the debate footage, with a few restrictions. Additionally, our combination of traditional moderated debate and town hall questioning means the candidates will have to respond directly to actual voters and think on their feet.”

The CPOA of New Britain is a tax payer and property owner advocacy group that has been in existence since 1924. They advocate for fiscal restraint and accountability in government spending at all levels. For more information please visit www.cpoanb.org
