131 Colony Road House is up

Dear Friends & Neighbors:

I was in contact with Andy Rizzo of the New Haven Building Department with regard to the construction on what is now known as 131 Colony Road or “the Stein House”. Andy is having an inspector down at the site on a regular basis to check and as of now there are no violations. In fact Mr. Stein turned the house around and has the front door facing Colony now (that is something we asked for).

I would like to thank Andy for the extra steps he is taking in keeping an eye on this for usually the inspector will only come out once just prior to issuing the CoO. We must remember that Mr. Stein has a Constitutional right to improve his land within the Zoning regulations of the City.

He will keep me updated as things progress and I will be sending everyone updates as well as posting this to my blog at www.motisandman.blogspot.com.

Yours truly,

Mayoral Debate

Sounds interesting


Mayoral Debate Set for Tuesday, October 30

On Tuesday, October 30, 2007, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, a mayoral debate will be held by the New Haven Democracy Fund, with co-sponsors the League of Women Voters, WTNH, the New Haven Register, and the New Haven Advocate.

The debate will be held at the Wexler-Grant School auditorium, 55 Foote Street. All three mayoral candidates will appear: Democrat John DeStefano, Jr., Republican Richter Elser, and Green Ralph Ferrucci. Food will served after the debate.

Questions are being submitted by New Haven high school and college students, and others, for selection by the League of Women Voters. Audience members will also have an opportunity to submit questions before the debate. The questions will be posed to the candidates by a single moderator (to be named soon).

The New Haven Democracy Fund is the new pilot public election financing program. New Haven is the first city in Connecticut to establish a public financing system, as part of a State Elections Enforcement Commission program. The voluntary Democracy Fund program, in which all candidates are participating, is intended to bring more New Haven residents into the political process, to make small contributions more meaningful, and to prevent large contributors from affecting public policy. Mayoral candidates are able to spend more time communicating with voters and focusing on the issues, and less time fund-raising.

Intresting email that I just got today...

Greetings, Ward Representatives of New Haven,

We are excited to announce that New Haven is a stop on our four-city New England Tour for Dream, a documentary project looking for people who have always wanted something more from their lives and are now ready to commit to that change. Examples of Dreams we have heard range from wanting a more fulfilling job to wanting to be a stand-up comedian, and everything in between.

We are seeking people to cast in our project, which includes a film and book, and want to let as many people know that we want to hear their Dream. Everything you need to know about the film, Dream, is attached herein. Our website is under construction, but will be fully interactive soon. Also attached is a flier that I hope you will pass along about the event in the next paragraph.

On Oct. 1, at Koffee on Orange, from 5:30 to 7:30, we are hosting an informal casting/meet and greet for the film.

I am reaching out to you because you are people who actively seek to improve the lives of your constituents, and you are constantly in touch with them. If you have a Dream yourself and would like it to be considered for the project, please do. But our hope is that you tell as many of your constituents as possible about the project. In our early casting efforts, in Lincoln, NE, the mayor there saw to it that every person on his email list knew about the project. In Louisville, KY, our pilot city, Mayor Abramson agreed to sit down and talk to us about his Dream to revitalize the massive park system.

Bottom line is this: We want to hear people's Dreams for their lives and we know that you have the means to tell them about it.

So please, tell them. Forward this correspondence to whomever you think might want to be included in the project.

If you have any questions about the project, please do not hesitate to call. I have already spoken to some of you. And if you would like to tell us your Dream, please submit it to mydream@letyourdreambegin.com. We'd love to hear it!

Best,

Ben BerzaiCastingDream23 Cortes St Suite #1Boston, MA 02116Office 617.542.0594 Mobile 617.216.6316www.letyourdreambegin.com
