The state Republican Party is giving up on Hartford.
The state GOP is moving its headquarters from the capital city to the Hardware City after this year's election, according to Gary Schaffrick, one of the Republican state committee members.
Schaffrick said today that the party headquarters will be relocated on November 15 to a fifth floor office at 321 Ellis St. in New Britain.
The reason for the move? Money.
Schaffrick, a long-time Bristol political activist, said the party will save about $28,000 during the course of the lease by basing its operations in New Britain instead of Hartford.

Moccabee's arrival in Hartford forced the gop to move to New Britain? That's progress?
For Hartford
Good, that's where all the GOP belong... next they will move to Bristol and really make my day
hopefully the bristol gop will move to new britain also - new britain has to be dreading that thought....
From Hooker Day in Hartford to the Polski fair in New Britain.
That should make Mocabeeski, Schafrickski, Barneski, Klapachski,Stortzski and Johnsonski happy.
For Krawiecki it should be just like comin' home.
Bristol IS the "New" New Britain anyway. I say we just take New Britain, Plainville and Bristol and make a whole new incorporated City out of the three. All the younger people from New Britain are migrating to Bristol anyway. Not sure what they expect to find here? because it's not much different than where they came from. Small business going under. Nothing but dollar stores, banks, gas stations and grocery stores, poor schools, nothing for kids to do, traffic jams in certain parts of the town...Bristol is becoming a mirror image of NB.
Art is working on the GOP moving to Bristol. Stay tuned.
do the gop leaders think that moving to a 5th floor is the same as "movin' on up?"
It's good they are saving money with this relocation. You don't see the CT Dems looking to save money - ever!
8:31 this ain't saving a dime and in fact it will cost the City more. But you jerks don't really care you are just against everything unless it's your idea. You guys are nothing but no face ,hiding ,cowards that mean nothing to anyone except your little "lackey" republican followers.
They should move farther away !
Hey 8:34 whats the matter running out of people to bleed ? No more money in their pockets ?
I mean 8:31
