From the Chair....

The 2009 Election

This is to thank candidates of all parties and volunteers for being a part of the municipal campaign this year.

Just 200 more people voted compared to 2007 (9,006 to 8,808) making the turnout a paltry 27.86%. The lower percentage but higher turnout is attributable to the "Obama bounce" of 2008. In 2007,there were 30,433 registered voters. This year enrollment was officially at 32,323. Anyone walking neighborhoods during this election, however, would find the official voter count to be inflated. The likelihood is that a few more percentage points would have led to a different outcome. The challenge remains: to encourage citizen participation at the local level where government can impact people the most.

Although 80 or so votes shy when the polls closed, Tim O'Brien delivered everything he could and led his party to retain a super majority on the Council.

Rep. O'Brien overcame unexpected adversity, an entrenched incumbent Mayor and a Republican noise machine full of slanderous and anonymous comment to get very close to victory. Throughout 2009 it was hard to find the GOP offering any ideas or substance to move the city forward. Tim Stewart is to be congratulated on his victory, but he knows once again the voters rejected his call to give him a rubber-stamp council. The election and campaign were last week. Next week it's time to govern in a spirit of mutual respect and what is in the best interests of the city.

Rick Lopes and Kate Breslin deserve praise for giving of their time, talent and tremendous organizational skills to the O'Brien campaign. Thanks to DTC member Sue McKinley and Vice Chair Bob Sanchez for their E-day organizing as well as all GOTV teams and volunteers.

Newcomers Marie Lausch and Carlos Pina, Jr.-- campaigning in the most Republican oriented area of the city -- waged positive and hard fought campaigns; we were fortunate to have them as part of the team and to join us as leaders who will be heard from again. Juan Verdu stepped into a void to run for Tax Collector and deserves special thanks for his efforts and for bringing out votes on Tuesday. Thanks to Laura Woodie for her close at large bid and another newcomer, Ryan Hurlburt, for his candidacy and new perspectives. Congratulations to City Treasurer Teresa Sapieha Yanchak and Town Clerk Peter Denuzze on their re-elections. Thanks to new Constables Mike Dagata and Sue Hodge for their efforts throughout the campaign.

Congratulations go to the new Democratic Council: Catanzaro, Magnuszewski and Trueworthy at large; Collins and Platosz (2), Black and Cruz (3), Hermanowski and Sherwood (4) and Carlozzi and Centeno (5). A heartfelt thanks to my alderwoman, Shirley Black, whose daily presence at headquarters set an example. Kudos to BOE President Sharon Beloin-Saavedra for her staunch support and ideas on education. And thanks to my neighbor, Phil Sherwood, for his guidance and support of all during the Democratic campaign and Mike Trueworthy for his support of the Council slate.

Next steps? We build a coalition based around the issues that Tim O'Brien raised in this campaign --- property tax relief, an education policy that addresses overcrowding and doesn't hold children hostage to the property tax, real blight enforcement, transparency in city government and creating a jobs-friendly climate for New Britain.

It's no time to rest or mourn. It is time to organize.

Historic Vote On Public Option Health Insurance Looms Today (Nov. 7) Call Now

The U.S. House's first full vote on health reform legislation may come today (Saturday, Nov. 7). It'll be the first time in more than 60 years that the full body votes on comprehensive reform with a close vote expected.

The insurance industry and their allies are putting extraordinary pressure on every representative to defeat H.R 3962. "We know that their expensive lobbyists will be dashing to each congressional office, attempting to twist arms. The only question is whether the phones will be ringing off the hook with constituents supporting reform while that happens," according to a statement from Organizing for America.

Reinforce support for a public option calling Cong. Murphy at 202-225-4476

Tell friends around the country to contact their U.S. Rep. immediately www.house.gov

End Quotes

Health care is a moral issue. It is viewed as a fundamental human right, not only advocated in Catholic Social Teaching but also in the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This right is reflected in the values of the economic systems of every western industrialized country except one, the United States of America. We are the only country among those 27 industrialized nations that does not provide universal health care. In contrast, our Church has been at the forefront of advocating for health care as a right for decades, including pastoral letters in 1981 and 1993.

If You Want Change, It's Time To Get Out The Vote

From The Chair...

Election Day 2009 gives New Britain an opportunity to change leadership at City Hall and to move the city forward on many fronts.

With Rep.Tim O'Brien as the nominee, we have a candidate for Mayor whose record on the City Council and in the Legislature has been among the most progressive and reform-minded. As mayor, Tim O’Brien will make New Britain a better place to live; he will be a powerful voice on property tax reform, education funding, workplace rights, transparency at City Hall and reducing blight and disinvestment.

O'Brien, as he has said on the campaign trail many times, seeks to raise expectations for ourselves and this community. He has laid out constructive plans on reducing the property tax burden, reinvigorating a jobs and economic development strategy and letting the thousands of voters he has met know that his administration will be open and transparent. His opponent may boast that he "is" New Britain, but O'Brien, through words and deeds, has made it clear that he is "for" New Britain.

Your help and support is needed now. To volunteer in the effort to Get Out The Vote and elect Tim O'Brien and the Row B Democrats, please call the headquarters at 223-9125. It is located at 46 Broad Street. E-mail newbritaindemocrat@gmail.com

Stewart Criticizes Tax Relief Plan; O'Brien Reiterates Need For Change
Rep. Tim O'Brien, the Democratic candidate for Mayor, responded to Republican criticisms of the actions he would take to reduce the property tax burden

O'Brien has asserted that 90 percent of property owners have experienced tax increases because of revaluation. He has called for implementation of local property tax relief for seniors, extending relief to all homeowners via a strong anti-blight assessment ordinance and building support for statewide reform that would reduce the over reliance on property levies to pay for schools and municipal services.

Republican Stewart opposes a local senior relief program and stated that revenues gained from anti-blight assessments cannot be used to lower the tax burden. Stewart has also opposed property tax changes in state law proposed by O'Brien that have been vetoed by Gov. Rell.

"When I first decided to run for Mayor, I said that some politicians think it is their job to lower people's expectations and to tell them why things cannot be done," said O'Brien. "I believe in my heart that we can do better, improving neighborhoods, ensuring quality education and lowering unfair property tax burdens."

"We can and should do what we can, as a community, to help homeowners and especially senior citizens by lowering unfair property tax burdens," said O'Brien. "That is why I have fought on behalf of the people of New Britain for property tax reform in the state legislature, and it is why the people of our city can count on me to work hard for them as Mayor."

O'Brien said he disagreed with Tim Stewart's interpretation of state law allowing for anti-blight assessments, which O'Brien plans to use to force the owners of blighted buildings to pay for the costs they cause for the people who live in New Britain. "Over the years, as I have gone door to door talking with the people of our city," said O'Brien, "I have seen how frustrated people are that some politicians make excuses for why problems cannot be solved when, instead, we need leaders who find ways to get things done. That is why I am running for Mayor."

End Quote: On "Pricing The Kids Out" of big league games

Almost every adult I’ve ever spoken with who went to a baseball or football game as a child remembers the shock of entering the stadium and then suddenly coming upon the glorious expanse of emerald green grass, sparkling beneath the sun or the brilliant lights at night games.

I remember that those games seemed to go by with the speed of light. The seventh and eighth innings — or the fourth quarter in football — used to come so fast. You never wanted it to be over.

Maybe this is not the biggest issue facing the country, but I can’t help feeling we’re making a big mistake pricing these games out of the reach of today’s boys and girls who are growing up in families of modest means

Nobel Peace Prize:
The Party of No In Another Extremist Attack on Obama

Many of you may have already received the message from President Obama on his unexpected Nobel Peace Prize for Obama's pledge to rid the world of nuclear weapons and other international initiatives in the first year of his administration.

Attacks on this recognition are stridently coming from GOP blowhards and the usual media gas bags. Behold the words of GOP National Chairman Michael Steele:

"The Democrats and their international leftist allies want America made subservient to the agenda of global redistribution and control, And truly patriotic Americans like you and our Republican Party are the only thing standing in their way.”
“It’s a stunning, if not truly surprising, indication of just how meaningless a once honorable and respected award has become.”

This latest virulence from the anti-Obama GOP warrants a reprise here and elsewhere of Obama's reaction to the prize:

This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.

That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.

This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama

O’Brien Unveils Property Tax Relief Initiative

Democratic Mayoral candidate Tim O'Brien has announced Friday his plan to address high and rising property taxes in New Britain -- responding to tax hikes that have hit "the overwhelming majority of taxpayers under the current City Hall."

“I believe that New Britain needs a Mayor who fights strongly for reform to lower unfair property tax burdens,” said O'Brien.

Rep. O'Brien (D-24), known as the toughest fighter in the state legislature for property tax reform, announced his three point plan:
• Enacting local senior property tax relief to increase relief provided under the current state-funded relief program and to extend relief to seniors whose incomes are modest but exceed current limits under the state program.
• Extend property tax relief to all homeowners by requiring owners of blighted buildings in the city to pay their fair share through a strong anti-blight assessment ordinance.
• Strongly advocacy for state property tax reform.

“It breaks my heart to see many senior citizens struggle to pay their bills and stay in their homes because of property tax unfairness,” said O'Brien. “Senior property tax relief is just the right thing to do.” O'Brien added, “And it is unfair to homeowners who work hard to keep up their properties that they are paying more in taxes, while the owners of blighted buildings get the benefit of lower assessments exactly because they don't keep up their properties. That is unfair, it is wrong and it will change when I am Mayor.”

O'Brien builds his local property tax reform plan on a strong track record in the legislature fighting for property tax reform, including winning property tax relief by expanding the state property tax credit to $500, gaining tens of millions of dollars in new state aid to New Britain that kept property taxes from rising even higher and winning approval of important property tax reform that would have provided millions of dollars tax relief to New Britain taxpayers each year (a measure that was vetoed by Republican Gov. Jodi Rell).

O'Brien added, “I have already told my colleagues in the legislature that, as Mayor of New Britain, they can expect to see me at the State Capitol fighting hard for property tax reform, state property tax relief and state support for education and other local services. I have my program for property tax relief in New Britain. I also plan to be the most active Mayor in the state advocating for reform of unfair property taxes.”

Support Tim O'Brien for Mayor at a pasta supper on Sunday October 18th from 1-4 pm at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall, 41 Veterans Drive, New Britain. The suggested donation is $20.

From The Chair:
Mayor Stewart Misleads On Pay, Budget Numbers


A symbolic gesture by Republican Aldermen to return 5% or $175 of their $3,000 annual stipends in the face of rising property taxes drew a favorable reaction last week from Mayor Timothy Stewart who said they have “put their money where their mouth is.”

The same standard of returning something to the city treasury in austere economic times, however, will not apply to the Mayor and his office budget.

Stewart charged that I was making “disreputable” claims for saying that the mayor’s position was “hypocritical” for applauding the council members in putting “:their money where their mouth is” when Stewart has accepted $7,000 in pay increases over the last two year and continued to see increases in the Mayor’s overall office budget.

Stewart claimed “I haven’t had a raise and I’m not asking for one” and termed “misinformation” anyone saying he has.

His assertion of no raises is contradicted by the municipal budget which shows that in each of the last two fiscal years the Mayor’s salary has increased in a compensation agreement worked out two years ago by Stewart and the Common Council. The legitimacy of the pay raise is not at issue here. It is the mayor’s dissembling about whether he got one amid the calls for saving money be they symbolic or substantial. Based on the 2007 resolution adjusting salaries of full-time elected officials including the mayor, tax collector, registrar of voters and town clerk, the Mayor’s salary went from $83,461 in 2007 to $86,414 in 2008 and $87,971in 2009.

Where’s the hypocrisy?

In the run up to the adoption of this year’s budget Stewart hinted at layoffs and proposed across the board cuts for everyone. In the end he failed to include his own office in the “shared sacrifices” that motivated the GOP members, mindful of the November 3rd election, to give $175 back when so many residents are absorbing property tax and water fee increases.
