Milford's Teachers's Union Failing To Protect Milford Teacher Jobs

Negotiating is simple, first both sides must be willing to negotiate. Are they? It appears not according to BOE Chairman Mark Stapleton who said "the problem could be worse next year" and warnings are emerging from DC that the Fed's will hold back 1.5 Million in school funding threatening more teachers jobs.

Second, in a fair negotiation both sides give up a little. The Taxpayers of Milford agree to pay a little more tax, the teachers union agrees to to take a little less of a raise.

Without compromise there is no progress on education. The taxpayers will not stand to take the entire burden of the flawed binding arbitration deal that was set in Hartford.

The teachers Union has a job of protecting its teachers, not hoarding their benefits, raises, and demanding excessive taxes.

Not to be rude but many of these teachers do not even live in Milford and could care less about our taxes because they do not have to pay them.

That is why, a school is closed and many teachers, albeit are not currently fired will be fired soon you can count on it.

The union is going to have to come up with something better than the "Education Outrage Machine" and for those of you who think we are not in a Depression should look up the fraudulent CERC figures for Milford.

Cerc Claims that our Employed Workforce is 30,834 people out of 54,040 in 2009. When you eliminate everyone over the age of 65 (assuming they are retired) and everyone under the school age of 18 you have 37,925 people eligible for work. (18-65 Range only). Add 7,091 people who are not counted to the ranks of the unemployed. My point is that the fraudulent figure put out the Federal Government is Dead Wrong! There are more than 8,000 unemployed people in Milford.

This does not count kids who are 16 and 17 looking for Summer Jobs, or the working elderly who could not retire.

Also if we look at the housing market for Milford at Trulia.com, you will notice that Milford has 489 homes for sale of which 112 homes are in some form of Foreclosure. That represents 22% of all homes for sale in town as being foreclosures, and yes Prices are plummeting, sales are plummeting and there is no more Home buyer credits.

For anyone to doubt we are in a Depression is a Fool, believing the fraud from the Washington DC Fraud and lie factory is what is wrong with many of you who believe in the non-sense that you are fed.

For a long time, when we were all kids we all knew the Tooth Fairy was real, Santa was real, and yes the Easter Bunny Too.

Today all of them are in Washington DC selling out our country to a Global Banking cabal who hates our way of life and is intent on destroying our Austerity through any scam they can think of. Derivatives, new taxes, credit default swaps, naked short selling, wars, etc.. etc..

The sooner you all wake up the sooner we can responsibly go about taking care of our business here in Milford.

Unemployment in Milford is not 1,571 people its more like 8,000.

More Banks On The Green

Soon going downtown Milford will be a Bankers Paradise, this is because the old Harrison's Hardware store is being "eyed" by TD Bank North for their latest branch. They made their presentation before Zoning and Planning recently and of course, the very reaction from the board was "not good."

Most board members do not want the downtown Milford Landscape to be overwhelmed by banks. Should TD Bank prevail in its quest for Harrison's Hardware that would mark a Fifth large and imposing Bank in an area of about 100 Yards.

Currently, Downtown has a full size, Peoples, Webster, Bank of America, Milford Bank, and a Hudson United Bank. Then of course we have the added Mortgage Bankers to include a former Countrywide, (Now another BofA) and Personas Mortgage Co. I suppose a TD Bank added to the mix would certainly be hyping the dysfunctional landscape of Attorney's and Court Houses.

While some might be impervious to these economic anomalies, others are thankfully more aware and are wondering when the new creed for the Milford Business Association will read "Welcome to Downton Milford, a great place to Eat, Bank, & Sue Someone." I say this with sardonic humor, but all one has to do is look at who owns all the most valuable real estate on the Green and the answer is obvious. The type of downtown we build, and the kinds of businesses we nurture and encourage is a reflection on our community. If everyone loved Bankers and Lawyers we would be in great shape, however we try to cover that malaise with our Great Food establishments of which are packed with bankers and lawyers buying lunch with forclosure money and overdraft fees.

The first thing an outside visitor to Milford does is drive up and down the Town Green, and the nature of the businesses that reside on the Green are usually the first impression someone gets of our community. Restaurants are certainly nice but all the Banks and Legal Malaise are surely a disappointment and something to be concerned about.

Wachovia Bank Bilks Milford Mom of $455.00 In Predatory Bank Fee's

With Trillions of our tax dollars being given to banks you would think that the cash in hand would be used to bail out struggling home owners, or those upside down on their mortgages but that is not the case.

The story printed in the Connecticut Post is only one of many reasons why draconian banking reform is required. Lori Anne Galligan, like most people in Milford struggle to pay bills and balance her budget, but our local Wachovia banks comprised of the worlds most evil people feel no crime is committed when they rob their clients of $10.3 Billion in overdraft fees.

Our founders warned us long ago about banks, and they said that "none are more imperiled than those people whose nations stand silent as crimes against them are made to be legally protected by the courts." My point is that if we rob a bank of $455.00 we can be charged with ROBBERY OR FRAUD, they on the other hand can call you STUPID AND NEGLIGENT then legally keep your money.

This is just but one of many creative violations of the 14Th Amendment that evil banks engage in on a regular basis. While Ms. Galligan pleaded with her bank manager at Wachovia, she like most of their customers are told to "Go Pound Salt" that there is no credit. Their favorite techniques is to make their customers who receive these fees feel stupid, negligent, and deserving of the fee because of the risk of loss they pose to the bank by their reckless behavior.

These arguments are all baseless, they are mere training techniques rendered by the senior managers to guarantee the 10 Billion in profits keep flowing into their pockets. They even add the added scam of electronically stacking the system against their customers. The do this by clearing the largest checks first and then churn multiple fees on the other smaller transactions. This is the only way its possible for banks to make the huge profits the need to support their overbearing banking presence in local communities.

Many people have asked banks for relief from these fees and Congress passed new banking reform that few people really understand but if one thing is for certain banks are making it clear that being middle class and having a bank account can be a very costly liability. Fee structures indirectly communicate that bank accounts are for the rich, or people so flush with cash that they can keep a massive base sum in their accounts.

Most banks offer "over draft protection" but even that is stacked to harm its consumers with fees and excessive interest, and more often than not they do their very best not to advertise it, offer it, or make it easy to qualify for.

The best way to retaliate against these abusive banks is to close out your account, convert all your savings into Gold (Contact you financial advisor) and have a bank account for the sole purpose of paying those bills that you cannot pay in cash. If you need a credit card, than use prepaid ones that cannot invoke hefty $35.00 fees. Lastly if you insist on using a bank write a letter to your old bank explaining that you switched to a bank that has lower fees, and are less abusive of their customers. The best relief that I personally found from greedy banks was to investigate credit unions.

You may also abandon your account with the negative balance, but some banks now report customers who fight back to the "CHEX" system. This is a "RAT" network of people on a "LIST" that are alleged abusers of their checking privileges. While some people rightfully deserve to be on this "LIST" there are others who are abusing it with customers who refuse to allow themselves to be cheated by their bank or simply just disagree with their charges.

A Message From Bo ItsHaky

During the past week I gravely watched our grand State – Connecticut – and our grand Country slipping further and ever faster into a delusional state of denial. It is particularly distressing to watch what career politicians and insiders – Democrats and Republicans alike – have done to our country, our government and public service.

Like two peas in a pod!

For too long “We the People…” had no true representation in our government. Enough! …is what I hear on Main Street, enough with the dog and pony shows, enough with corruption, ”We want our voice back” and so do I.

As a response to the will of the People on Main Street and the shameful week-long hyped political circus, destructive bickering, abuses of true public-service and deflections from the issues that really matter – hello the economy, jobs? – I have decided to seek not, the nomination of the Republican Party for the 3rd District.

Instead, I will continue to run for Connecticut’s 3rd Congressional District as an Independent. I believe that I can and will better serve the People as an Independent, please join Our campaign and help us deliver Washington the message that We the People got pain – lots of it – and we can’t take it anymore.

Taxes To Rise $159.00 Per Avg. House

Taxes on the typical home in Milford will rise $159 next year under the 2010-11 budget plan the Milford Board of Aldermen adopted Monday night.

The typical home is described as a Cape or raised ranch, valued at $337,900.

Taxes on that typical home were expected to rise $160 next year before the aldermen wrangled several hours Monday night, adjusting the city-wide spending plan by about $457,000, which included about $100,000 in Democrat-proposed reductions and other adjustments throughout the budget.

The new $175.5 million budget will produce a tax rate of 28.44 mills, up from the current rate of 27.50 mills. The mill rate represents the amount of taxes property owners pay for each $1,000 in assessed property value.

Gayle Slossberg Announces Senate Bid

Gayle Slossberg announced her Senate bid yesterday on the steps of the Milford Hospital. Gayle said she chose her venue based on the tax she opposed on Hospitals throughout Connecticut. Gayle said "the Milford Hospital like most hospitals and businesses in this recession is struggling, the Tax that Hartford wanted to levy would have cost Milford Hospital over One Million Dollars in new taxes, taxes that the sick would have had to pay." Gayle said that "a hospital that is already involved in closing units and laying off people should not have to deal with the added injury of new taxation."

Gayle alleged that the only thing that stood between the new tax and the wishes of the Senate was her "resolve to fight to the late hours of the evening and early morning making a case for its defeat." Gayle said that her efforts are the principal reason "the Hospital Tax failed to become law."

Gayle said that the coming years are going to be particularly difficult for the state of Connecticut, and she promised to "protect the middle class" from new and unwarranted taxation. Gayle also said that her approach to new bills is to look at each one as they come up, she does a "Cost Benefit Analysis" and makes her decisions based on what is best for the people of her district and Connecticut.

Gayle a mother of Three also said "she wants to build a Connecticut where kids can thrive and prosper and is committed in keeping our state affordable and attractive to businesses and students who want a good education."

Gayle was greeted by several members of the local press, party leaders from all three local political parties Republican, Democrat, and Independent and is cross endorsed by the Independent Party. Gayle has been a supporter and advocate of the Citizens Election Program of which encourages candidates to take a pledge to refuse PAC funding and encourages ordinary people to participate in politics.

Gayle's main opponent this year will be once again The Orange Town Attorney Vincent Marino who challenged her on her voting record last year. He was widely remembered for his conservative stance and the signs he peppered the streets of Milford with pointing to websites challenging Gayles record.
