Darren, I've said many times that a small scale fields project could have been approved as early as…Read More last summer. There are opportunities to fund the project from within the existing budget. Tom and I both offered to use money from the contingency account to get the planning studies completed. The hockey rink proponents never brought any actual data to the council. The town manager and our financial consultant gathered financial data and notified the council that the project was not viable. A political fight over funding the pension using 7.75% versus 8% as the discount rate was unnecessary. The pension was funded in accordance with the ARC, as town councils have done virtually every year since the pension was in place. Fluctuations due to market conditions far exceed the differences in proposed funding. We have had positive town audits with no indication that the town's financial rating is at risk. The town is financially very healthy.

Keith I think Buford makes a lot of sense. The large majority of this tax increase was caused by the…Read More past council members for years more worried about getting reelected than the current council. This increase was fueled by years of cutting to the bone, pushing things off when they should have been dealt with in a timely fashion. Mayor Delnicki (not Delnickie) who you have praised so much over the past day or so himself warned numerous times that this increase was coming. He stated numerous times on camera and in the press that there would be a day of reckoning in the future due to the cuts we had made over the years and now that it is here no one wants to face it. Now that you and Tom are on the same side it is interesting how much your perspective has changed? It is interesting in your article that you reference how certain councilors have embrace the borrow and spend mentality yet you and your cohorts voted against amendments to fund the pension based upon a more realistic 7.75% discount rate in comparison to 8% as well as an amendment that would have prevented us from taking $800,000 out of found account(savings account) which could negatively impact our future ratings. In regards to the fields you have stated you are in favor of them so if so why not take advantage of low construction costs and historically low interest rates to invest in something that will make our town a more desirable place to live? In regards to the hockey rink why is it that we never even got the facts about what the financial impact would be to the town. We both know it was because somehow egos got in the way of exploring what would be best for our town. Our town is a great place to live but if we continue down this past that wont be the case in a very short time.

I feel sorry for other hard working people living in South Windsor who find their tax dollars have been co-opted by elected officials who think they are running Apple or Walmart.

Lemiel Odell's comments regarding the sports teams at the high school are both uninformed and unfair…Read More to the student athletes on those teams. It's always best to know what you are talking about before posting something online to show that you really don't. First, the swim team. That group of student athletes completed while fully funding themselves for at least two years. Since its inception, there has been no issues with filling roster spots. As for the hockey team, you just need to read the scores in the sports page to see that we are one of the very few schools in the area that is not a "combined team". Other teams in our conference are made up of athletes from two or three schools. The South Windsor High School ice hockey team continues to fill it's roster with students from town. Obviously, there is an interest. While Mr. Odell may support the students option to play, he shoudl at least respect it. His comments about the turf field would be correct if his letter was written in 1974, when Astro-turf was still in use. The new turf fields are far more player-friendly and the last time I heard any complaint about turf-toe was from Fran Tarkenton and his days in Minnesota. The cushion under the turf is now designed to minimize the risk of concussions, and it takes just a small bit of research to see that the major cause of concussions is head-to-head contact. Yes, I said it, HEAD-TO-HEAD CONTACT. While I agree that the town shoudl not have funded a new business in town at the expense of an existing business, it is no secret that South WIndsor needs a new ice arena to replace the one we have now. I have played in that arena, and into the mid-1990's, there was still chicken wire above the boards, not plexi-glass. There was not a player on any team that would ever venture to shower in those locker rooms. They were disgusting, and as a South Windsor resident, I am embarrassed to have players from other towns go into them. Knowing that the 63-20 financing would not be used to finance a new rink in town, Councilor Bazzano still led the effort to educate the citizens in how this financing could work to help with other projects in the town. Sadly, his efforts were undercut by Mayor Delnicki in that meeting with him pushing it towards the incorrect thought that this would go directly to build a new rec center in town. This was a great opportunity to help the folks of South WIndsor understand how this could come into play for other improvements in town, and it was torpedoed byt he mayor and another Councilor who attacked one of the attorneys as he answered questions from the Town Council. That exchange let to Councilor Snyder to call for a point of order in the meeting and both Councilor Bazzano and Councilor McCann to say that the attack was enough. That was an opportunity that was lost, and that is truly a shame.

The blog above references an $10,000,000 unaffordable hockey rink and that Mayor Delnicki should be…Read More praised. Why would we praise him? He did everything he could to squash this project before we even got to see the finances of the project and whether or not it would have been a benefit to South Windsor. He continually references how he is a voice for the taxpayer. I take issue with that statement as there are a number of taxpayers myself included who feel that we need to invest in our town to protect our property values, not defer all expenses for as long as we can. Has he ever met a budget year that he didn't say was going to be terrible? How is borrowing from the fund balance to pay for current expenses a benefit to our town? How is deferring necessary pension contributions going to benefit us, young families who have just moved to town, or more importantly our children that would like to stay in this town when they get older?
