Consider:
1. His unrelenting support for...Adinolfi? Consider:<br />1. His unrelenting support for paving over the north end with retail...yes box stores too....AND more residential. Just what we need. He was working very hard with the developers and had to have some financial skin in the game. The mall was a bad idea the the recession saved us from...so far!<br />2. Remember Justin's insider deal when he got $20,000 from the Stretton Dem Council to do the "Strategic Plan" (which also held seeds of the Mall idea years before the developers showed their hand). The town has done similar work in the past using volunteers (CDAP is one example) and we didn't need Justin but he needed our $20,000.<br />3. Justin's wife is a teacher in the Cheshire schools. Do you think he will EVER vote to restrain BOE spending? This will be an ongoing conflict of interest. He should not be on the Council for this reason alone. Remember: teacher's union is getting 4.4% raises each year for three years guaranteed......how about you folks out there? How is your raise going?<br />4. Justin was fined by the state for campaign violations the last time he ran. Justin feels he doesn't have to follow the rules like the rest of us?<br />5. Don't you think the Herald ought to let people know that his daughter is interning for the Herald? She helped write the lead story last week. Hmmmmm. The Herald is getting like the NYT with respect to journalistic ethics....or is that an oxymoron?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-77066545081406928862009-08-02T08:41:55.550-04:002009-08-02T08:41:55.550-04:00Hey the job market is horrible--not too mny CEO j...Hey the job market is horrible--not too mny CEO jobs;shape of things to comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21123853.post-6543867572656256872009-07-31T18:20:03.597-04:002009-07-31T18:20:03.597-04:00I agree you cannot tax businesses to the point the...I agree you cannot tax businesses to the point they leave town/state, but we can tax the CEO's, CFO's, and couples making $500,000 a year.

The next TC needs to eliminate tax increases. The next TC needs to throttle the BOE free spending behaviors.<br /><br />It doesn't really matter if the TC is Democrat or Republican so long as it performs.
