Mayor: Social Security office safe for now

Though I'm not sure there's an appreciable difference between what Mayor William Stortz is announcing today and what Jackie Majerus wrote in the Press back in nearly May, here's what the mayor has to say in a new press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bristol, CT, June 18, 2007 - In a prepared release, Mayor William T. Stortz announced that he has received confirmation that any decision on the Bristol Social Security Office will be deferred until later in the year.

Stortz said, “With the combined efforts of Senators Dodd and Lieberman, and Congressman Larson, the SSA is deferring a decision until the new Commissioner can fully evaluate the agency operations.”

“While this does not necessarily mean his decision is final, it does provide more time for all potentially affected citizens to further voice their support for keeping the office open”, said Stortz.

Stortz concluded, “I urge everyone to continue their efforts in contacting your Federal legislators, and the Social Security office. As proven so far, your voice does make a difference.”

Does anyone know why Mayor Bill Stortz appears to be cranking out written press releases on topics that are not topical but kinda strange in a strange kind of way? I am truly wondering and not trying to be sarcastic.

Is Stortz going to claim credit for this? Since Stortz likes the idea of saving money, I'm surprised he hasn't supported closing the Social Security office.
