Tim O’Brien Live Blog Tonight at CTLP
Swing by Connecticut Local Politics this evening for a live blog session with State Representative and fellow New Britain blogger Tim O’Brien.
New Britain State Representative Tim O’Brien recently posted an update to his blog with a glimpse into the future:
Now, we are in the time between regular legislative sessions when we can start to build for the next session, which starts in February. I will go more into what issues I plan to work on in the future, but ensuring quality and affordable health care for everyone and property tax reform are certainly high priorities.
Tim O’Brien and his colleagues in New Britain have put together quite a thorough rundown of how this year’s session will positively impact the city:
“There are many ways, big and small, that we were able to help New Britain—grants enabling the city to lower property taxes, support for education, health care, job training, local arts groups and more,” said Representative Tim O’Brien. “The New Britain delegation worked hard this year, and we are ready for more important work to come.”
“We worked hard to help our city and its agencies do the good work that they do,” said Representative John Geragosian. “Unfortunately the Democratic budget did not pass, which would have gone a long way toward tax relief. But the budget we did pass will be good for the city.”
“While so many of the total system changes that were initially introduced were not able to be made this year,” Representative Peter Tercyak said. “It made it extra important to help New Britain in one area after another. I’m very pleased with what we were able to bring home this year. This will make a vitally needed difference, especially for medical care, in New Britain.”
