Some quick thoughts on last nights election results

So the results are now in. Mayor John Destefano won the Democratic nomination in a tough 4 way race. He did not win a majority (over 50%) just a pluarity (around 43 - 44%). Even more significant was the sweep by the Unite Here affiliated trade unions Yale 34 & Yale 35 of all of the aldermanic races they ran. Not only did they sweep the won by large majorities - other then in Westville's Ward 25. I feel that this new board make up will push an agenda that focuses on keeping the status quo for municipal employees and if that means our taxes will go up so be it. I am still trying to process all of this. More soon. Perhaps we should make the Internationale the anthem for New Haven,

Fundraiser for Roland Lemar

Check out his website http://www.rolandlemar.com/ for more info about Roland and his positions or even better come and meet him in person!

New Chapter

Hi All:

As you probably know by now I am no longer the Alderman for Ward 28. I lost the Democratic Primary by 19 votes.

I plan on remaining active in the ward and area through block watches and the WEB Management Team.

I am still keeping my personal Ward28 @ SNET . Net email account and you can reach me that way.

Yours,

Moti
