Let us imagine for a minute that Tim O’Brien’s campaign was not surrounded with questionable ethics. Let us imagine that he had not received tens of thousands of dollars from Political Action Committees (PACs), lobbyists, and special interest groups.

According to Tim O’Brien’s own blog he has released his plan for tax relief. This release was made through a “New Britain Democratic E-Letter.” Perhaps Mr. O’Brien was afraid that if he released this plan publicly, too many voters would realize that his “plan” is little more than empty promises. The debate on Wednesday night (Oct. 7) was wonderfully stimulating. While Mayor Stewart was big on details and exact plans, Candidate O’Brien was big on promises and unsupported claims. Tim O’Brien again defended “senior tax relief” (videos 7 and 9) without being able to produce any evidence that such a program is needed.

To quote: “It starts with bringing down property taxes for everyone, improving our schools, and using new ideas to create good jobs and grow the grand list to get our city’s economic engine running again.” Perhaps Mr. O’Brien [...] As of this past Thursday night, the official nominee of the New Britain Republican Party for the office of City Clerk is longtime Democrat Peter Denuzze. Mr. Denuzze has a long record of service in the city, having served many years as city clerk. “We are pleased to welcome Peter Denuzze to our bi-partisan slate. Peter’s [...] Tim O’Brien has been calling for a “clean campaign” repeatedly in the press. For those who have not followed the latest news from the New Britain Herald, check out these articles – they are worth your time: Political Smears against the Mayor Trace to the State Capitol The New Britain Democratic Platform (available here) is rather interesting to read. Several of the items, which I restate here for those who may not have Microsoft Word, appear to be pulled directly from the National and State Platform and show no creative input or thought from the local Democrats, such as statements about “Universal [...] |
