Progress, not promises!

With all the focus on the empty promises offered by Tim O’Brien there has been little chance to celebrate the work of Mayor Stewart. So here is just a brief list of the many accomplishments that New Britain has seen under 6 years of Mayor Stewart’s leadership.

Celebration Foods came to New Britain, bringing 300 new [...]

League of Women Voters Debate!

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:54:25 +0000

The League of Women Voters is hosting a debate on Tuesday evening (Oct. 20) in Town Hall. This is an excellent chance to see the contrast between Mayor Stewart and his opponent Tim O’Brien. Come and count how many detailed answers Tim O’Brien gives, chances are you won’t need more than one hand. Turn out [...]

Paraprofessionals’ Debate Video

admin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:05:43 +0000

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, [...]

The Plain Truth

admin — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:26:16 +0000

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. [...]

On Wednesday October 7, 2009 at 7:00pm, there will be a debate held in either the lecture hall or the auditorium at New Britain High School (which are right across from each other.) It is being sponsored by the Paraprofessionals of New Britain and is open to the public. If you want to see first [...]

McNamara deflects and accuses

admin — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:30:21 +0000

The Democratic Town Chairman, John McNamara, is at it again. This time he is railing against the fact that Republican Aldermen Mark Bernacki and Lou Salvio gave back 5% of their pay. Yes, that is right, he is criticizing the Aldermen for giving money back to the city. It is rather unbelievable, so here is [...]

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 [...]
