"We're not going to give up," said city Councilor Mike Rimcoski. "We're going to still try full force."
Rimcoski said that the City Council, Mayor William Stortz and the state delegation are going to turn up the heat.
State Rep. Ron Burns said the fight is a bipartisan one, with politicians from both parties joining together to convince President George W. Bush to reverse the decision.
Burns said that local politicians will try to convince Gov. Jodi Rell to intercede with the president.
He said that with a Republican mayor, Republican lawmakers and a Republican governor pushing for the office to stay open, perhaps the president will listen.
"This isn't a done issue," said Rimcoski, who is also a Republican.

Leave President Bush alone, he and Joe Lieberman need to focus their efforts on starting a war with Iran. They can't be bothered with little things like this.
Connecticut Republicans are a joke. I'm sure Bush will make time for them.
