The Truth on Taxes

The above ad was placed by Frank Marrocco in today’s Herald. It is important that people see this. It brings to light the deceptive practices of Tim O’Brien that have been mentioned here before. That is the problem with O’Brien’s campaign. When the facts come to light his arguments evaporate.

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 Woman Voters Debate!

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 [...]

O'Brien Strikes Out Again

O’Brien has sent out another mass mailing to confuse and frighten voters. Again he repeatedly attempts to mislead without being an out and out liar. However he wants to slice it, this latest mailing contains several deceptive statements.

Deception One:  “Under Tim Stewart, 90% of property tax payers in New Britain are paying more.”

It is unclear [...]

Paraprofessionals' Debate Video

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

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. [...]

Debate at the High School

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

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?

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 [...]

No Word on a Stewart/O'Brien Debate

Despite several claims by candidate Tim O’Brien that he wishes to conduct a clean campaign that is focused on the issues, he has not yet challenged Mayor Stewart to a single debate.  Perhaps Mr. O’Brien is afraid to talk about the issues that New Britain faces.  Mayor Stewart, for his part, says that he is [...]
