I am running for a seat on the New Britain Common Council from Ward 4 and am grateful to receive the endorsement of the New Britain Democratic Town Committee on July 20th.
My goals are to reach and listen to as many residents as possible to earn their vote on November 7th, to represent their concerns on the Council for the next two years, and; to serve a community that has been good to me and my family for many years.
The City Council is responsible for adopting a fair budget but unchecked spending (up 12.58% in one year) with double digit jumps in our tax bills are the result of one-party government.
The current Republican Council majority provides no checks and balances on a budget that far exceeds the rate of inflation. It took no action to reduce soaring tax bills after property revaluation.
While developers of downtown luxury housing get 26-year tax breaks, homeowners, tenants and small businesses get no tax relief from much higher assessments.
It’s time for a change and new voices on the Common Council in 2023 for accountability, transparency and strong oversight of the way City Hall spends taxpayer money.
Vote for Change on November 7th.
