And be sure to use only small words, one or two syllables each. And please try harder to not sound like you know what you're talking about. It might also help if you would spell some words incorrectly and not use proper punctuation.<br /><br />Apparently, some readers here have a REALLY SHORT attention span and big problems with reading comprehension. Your co-operation would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-6201883538842720272009-12-18T21:04:30.048-05:002009-12-18T21:04:30.048-05:009:37 ok you "know it all" who cares abou...9:37 ok you "know it all" who cares about what you have to say!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-60976610227913223952009-12-18T21:01:29.273-05:002009-12-18T21:01:29.273-05:009:37 AM

Her experience has been valuable to the BDDC. Isn't there room for deabate about valid concerns?? Jennifer raised those concerns often within my earshot.<br /><br />I don't disagree with the priciples of FOI but believe that the written law in CT and its execution is ridulous and extremely costly. If Bart Barnes knew the tens of millions of dollars spent yearly in the name of FOI and the costly delays of action and execution, he would call for modifications. The so-called "melt-down" on Monday night could probably have been avoided if the BDDC were allowed to meet for 30 minutes in private. No, not in a smoke filled room; just inprivate.<br /><br />I have comments about both developers that are, let's say, negative and prejudicial. They will never see the light of day because FOI does not allow for an appropriate venue.<br /><br />Hopefully we can move the ball down the road on Monday night.<br /><br />Tom Cosgrove<br />Vice Chair, BDDCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-76492573744842944182009-12-18T13:44:44.731-05:002009-12-18T13:44:44.731-05:00Right ,wrong or in different Jennifer is intitled ...Right ,wrong or in different Jennifer is intitled to her own opinion!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-39791781766460917162009-12-18T09:37:23.101-05:002009-12-18T09:37:23.101-05:00Oh Steve, here we go again with the "secret&q...Oh Steve, here we go again with the "secret" government stuff! Interviews and negotiations can be conducted in private. The reason being, you don't want the company to know you're having doubts about them until you've done your homework and can confirm your doubts. It's easy to say as a layperson "oh yeah, every single word and thought anyone in the government has should be thought and said before the public in public session" but that's idealism at its worst. Government is a business, and in business there are times when you're best not to show your hand for strategic reasons. Government is often criticized for its inability to act as efficiently as business, but the only reason for that is all the unrealistic regulations, restrictions, and limitations government employees are forced to operate within. Inaction is usually the preferred course for government, because every move you make is more liable to draw criticism rather than praise. I work in business and I see city government, and BDDC and BHA and all these other groups take it on the chin for doing things that we do every day as a course of business. I think the problem is, there are too few people living here who have even the most remote understanding of business or administration, and are thus completely unsympathetic to anything its governing bodies have to do to get their jobs done without botching a negotiation or scaring off business partners or losing its best employees when they all become sick of the constant criticism and abuse. It's easy for Joe Plumber to say everyone in government is incompetent, because you wouldn't know the first thing about administrative competence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811616037332448221.post-78065891926702736352009-12-18T07:52:43.736-05:002009-12-18T07:52:43.736-05:00Jennifer,

Is Renassaince supposed to sit on their hands and do nothing while they wait for you and the other board members to get off their lazy butts and make a decision. They would not be in business if this was the case. Not to mention you should be asking the same question of Damato. That company has been on site of that 550000 sqft residence they are building in Avon for over 3 years. Are they spreading themselves too thin? If this is the best reason you can come up with to not cast a vote than please resign from your position. As a matter of fact, ALL OF YOU SHOULD RESIGN.
