Last night at the Town Council Meeting Mike Riolino made a motion to add an item to the agenda. The motion was to set a public hearing date for the .

The motion was added and voted on to set the date for Sept. 4, 2012.

The vote was not unanimous and note should be taken of those that voted no. The question should be asked of them and the Chairman: why the no votes?

Thanks to all the Democratic members and to those Republican members that felt this was the right thing to do for the town, the vote passed.

This public hearing will be the chance for what the people of East Haven think is best for our town.

The that was voted first in should be the option that should be done, if there are cost concerns then those should be discussed.

Thank you to all the council members who voted yes, transparency should always be the right way to go; .

Mark your calendars and if you have any concern at all about what happens to this building and what is right for our town this will be the time and place to have your voice heard.

Make it your business to be at this public meeting and be prepared to voice your opinion on this matter.

Gene Ruocco,

East Haven Democratic Town Committee Chairman
