Open forum - June 8, 2010

The pool referendum date - June 22 - is fast approaching. Get your absentee ballots, if you'll be out of town!

With the pool structure moving past the Council, I've asked the Planning Committee Chairman Jimmy Sima to revisit an old request of mine to improve one of the more haphazardly-run parts of town government:

using staff's recommendations, the Council should vote to establish the criteria used in prioritizing improvements to roads (along with sidewalks, curbs and perhaps tree trimming)... then the Council should set the budget (subject to voter approval at referendum) and there should be no deviation from those lists unless there is an emergency.

School is almost out.

The post-convention period in which one can gather signatures to force a primary ended today (I think). It'll be interesting to see who gathered enough signatures. I'm guessing Schiff will be on the ballot. But Simmons is regardless. So that guarantees a statewide GOP primary... along with the Governor's primary. And there's definitely going to be a Malloy / Lamont statewide Dem matchup. I hope Malloy gets the nod.

Maybe I'll do something on the Council meeting tomorrow night.

Anything else happening?

As you stated, the pool referedum is fast approaching. Is that why Adinolfi feels it necessary at last nights meeting to "bash" the Pool Committee that review the bids?
He stated that the costs of the referedum (town clerk, mailings, etc.) was estimated around 5K or so. "Hope the PBC numbers on the pool are better"

Is that necessary? If you all know more, than why did you not come to the meetings? Instead Adnolfi attended one Pool Committee meeting (From what I was told), but Mr. Sima attend "many".

Amazing isn't it? The difference between Mr. Sima and Mr. Adinolfi is night and day. Sima has integrity and works hard for Cheshire. Mr. Adinolfi.. well, not so much. I can't imagine how anyone voted for him. Just a wasted seat on the TC, IMO.
