Another Alderman Vacancy in New Britain
After the crap that happened last time, tonight’s meeting should be interesting.
Unfortunately, it’s last on the agenda:
Item #
10.) Appointment of Alderperson. Purpose: Filling vacancy created by resignation of Alderman Salvatore Bonola. P. Catanzaro, J. Carroll
Tonight’s meeting starts at 7:00pm:
The Common Council meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month in Council Chambers at City Hall, except in July, Aug, Nov and Dec. when there is a meeting only on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. Public participation starts at 7:00pm. The Common Council meeting immediately follows public participation.
It’s unlikely that I’ll be able to attend. That’s the downside for me (and for accountability) of being a full time student. Homework first, local politics second.
Update: From the comments, proof that not everything is a controversy and that New Britain Democrats can hang together:
The Council is set to fill the vacancy tonight with Lori Rocha, a former alderwoman from Ward 2 who previously served on the all at-large council.
Rocha received unanimous support from the Democratic caucus (11 Council members). She also received an endorsement from Ward 5 DTC members to fill the vacancy for the term that ends in November.
