The swearing-in ceremony for newly elected city leaders is slated for 7 p.m. Monday at Bristol Eastern High School.
Mayor-elect Art Ward said that he asked Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to swear him in. “I consider it an honor to have him do it,” Ward said.

If Bloomie's doing the swearing in, at least it'll be a quickie. He'll be in and out in a flash. It's his M.O.
And the Swearing-At ceremony will take place next year with the average taxpayers when the Ward budget will contain all sorts of gimmes to the city workers unions as reward for beating Zoppo and then getting Ward elected.
Nomatter what happened with Democrats, with Zoppo and Ward, they would be negotiating budgets that effect the salary and benefits of either their husband or their son. Nice.
Yes, that is why the unions worked so hard to make sure Ward won the Democratic Primary and got him labor endorsements from the state - because they knew he was the better choice for labor and Zoppo was not. Accountability and unions are not two words that often appear in the same sentence in this town.
Are the police in negotiations right now? I thought it was the fire union that were ongoing?
