There's a Charter Revision Commission public hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday at City Hall to solicit ideas for possible changes to the city government's century-old blueprint.
If you've got ideas, this is the time to haul 'em out and tell the world.
Actually, I was kind of wondering what happened to the big push a few years ago to change the charter to require a public vote on any project that cost enough money. That was all the rage, then it just sort of vanished.
Anyway, former City Councilor Craig Minor set up an event page on Facebook all about the hearing on Thursday. He established another Facebook page dedicated to the commission itself.
Minor is secretary of the commission, unless someone else wants the job. There are six other members, including its chairman, David Preleski.

We need a town mamager. At best to have a backround it city management. This system is not working in bristol with no educated people in charge for several years and it shows. We took a good city and turned it into section 8 capital of conn.Look around everyday its getting worse.
ReplyDeleteTime to get educated people like Minor and Zoppo back in politics. Get rid of guys like cockyane and donothing mills. SEE YA.
ReplyDeleteWhat will Nicastro do with out mills . Its like watching the HOWDYDOOTY SHOW.
ReplyDeleteBring back the concept of the COO.
ReplyDeleteMinor and Zoppo??? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Stop, you're killing me!
ReplyDeleteCan any one answer what came out of the last Charter revision committee that was held a few years ago? Was anything adopted?
ReplyDeleteJust curious as to if this exercise actually works or not.

ReplyDeleteCharter requires that it be formed, DOES NOT require that anything has to be done.
Maybe Stortz (he has a degree plus)wasn't so bad after all.

ReplyDeleteDon't you read the papers?
Klocko is the Town Manager!
Bill, you were elected to a position you failed at twice. Stop with the self ingratiating. Retire live long and happy.
ReplyDelete5:39 PM, Keep repeating it...maybe someone other than yourself will believe it...not.
ReplyDelete5:39 - if you need 'em, you can have 'em but leave the rest of us alone.
ReplyDeleteStrunz has a degree just like hes a veteran. What a insult to our heros. Buisness distruction isnt considered.
ReplyDeleteZOPPO and MINOR = NO COCKAYNE and MILLS.
ReplyDeleteSaw Ward and Nicastro walking there dogs on the boulavard this morning then i realized it wasnt dogs it was Cockyane and Mills on the leashes.

ReplyDeleteAre you saying that Stortz didn't serve in the military?
How can he be a member of the American Legion then?
1:49 you got that right. The two together will do nothing.
ReplyDelete4:48 Saw it right the two were on leashes . The poop was gone i think they each ate each others. Thats why they call them the union puppies.
ReplyDeletePossibly the greatest service Art Ward ever did for this city is beating Ellen Zoppo out of the political scene.

ReplyDeleteAre you still there?
Do you have any response, or was that just another of your unsubstantiated comments?
7:06 its called honorary. I was told he never served in a war. Got in when he was mayor.
ReplyDelete2:10
ReplyDeleteNo such thing.
He served, he qualified, much to your chagrin.
Did you serve?
