LETTER: 'Why the No Votes' on 200 Tyler Street Public Hearing?

The DTC Chairman urges residents to attend the upcoming public hearing on the old high school at 200 Tyler Street. And wonders why some Town Council members voted "No" on holding the town talk.

The following is an open letter to the East Haven Democratic Town Committee.

To the Editor:

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

I agree Jack is a good man. He however needs to better explain his financial problems. ForeclosureRead More doesn't go forward due to a mistake. Stand up and tell the truth. If you fell behind and got back on track tell us.

Yes its easy to say I like Jack

Gene, Jack is your party's pick, so what else are you to say. As to Jack, if he is anything likeRead More his father he IS a good man. But being just a good man doesn't cut it in todays small world politics. Jack has issues he needs to explain and I am sure when he time comes he will. But as to this article, I wouldn't expect anything else from the SHADOW. Wouldn't want him backing me for anything.

I asked the question and you gave me the answer I was looking for, and I thank you for that. As toRead More the rest of your dribble, doesn't deserve a response for EVERYONR knows all about the true Gene aka ******** Ruocco.

Richard, the Mayor kicked the CEO of the company that had the contract out of his office less than aRead More month after he won the election. The contract was with the town not the BOE. And if you think the only thing to check is if the panels are dirty, then it isn't worth answering you. A large investment of tax dollars was made and it is paying off with lower electric bills. The systems delivering these savings need to be checked, that is why people who were smart enough to sign a maintenance agreement did just that. Ask the BOE how the chiller replacement is going at the High School; due to lack of maintenance they lost two chillers that should have lasted at least 10 to 15 more years. Penny wise and dollar foolish is what this is all about, not the election year, but what else could we expect from you Richard. You have become the cheer leader of the administration.

Boy, you just know it's an election year. Gene, one question, when was this contract stopped?Read More Just now or some time ago, but seeing its getting "close' to November you just thought you would bring this up. Besides, shouldn't your question be aimed at the B of E, not the Mayor. And what is to be maintained anyway beside washing the panals now and then? You just keep us all informed now Gene.
