Tim O’Brien’s Spotty Record

admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:32:07 +0000

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. Let us even imagine a world where Tim O’Brien’s tax plan was a thing of facts [...]

A Plan for Failure

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.

This supposed “plan” consists of three [...]

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. Paul Carver, [...]

John McNamara at the New Britain Democrat Blog has been complaining again about the Mayor’s salary. In his latest post he is calling the Mayor hypocritical for taking raises in the past two years and he also has accused the Mayor of “dissembling,” which is merely a polite way to call someone a liar. Mr. [...]

Political Pandering

Ask any democrat on the Common Council if they support tax relief for senior citizens and they will gladly point to the money they annually set aside in a special account for senior tax relief. However, if you ask them to point to the plan that addresses how to distribute those funds, and they will [...]

What is in a slogan?

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:49:17 +0000

In a recent post, the New Britain Democrat Town Committee stated that “Slogans May Say All You Need To Know About the Mayor’s Race.” It is understandable they wouldn’t want voters to look any further than slogans in this election after the scandal that has rocked Tim O’Brien’s campaign that ultimately cost the candidates their [...]

Tim O’Brien is still out of touch

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:03:42 +0000

In his most recent mailing, Tim O’Brien has again shown he has little to offer the town besides rhetoric. 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 [...]
