"ILLEGAL DEMOLITIONS UNDER REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATIONS ARE TAKING PLACE IN NORWALK. 93 East Avenue (built 1750-60 a historical site, one of the oldest buildings in Norwalk)... 124 East Ave (a historic building across the street from City Hall)... AND NOW, "THIS ONE IS DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS TO RESIDENTS' HEALTH"

STATE OF THE CITY 2007 - Present - page 1

Republican Mayor Moccia continues on a path of partisanship and against the best interests of Norwalk's citizens. Mayor Moccia turned his back on city homeowners and taxpayers when he supported Republican Gov. Jodi Rell's prior VETO to the statewide schools system bonding package.

Detrimental Results of Gov. Rell's VETO.

NORWALK BOARD OF EDUCATION COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSETO BOARD OF ESTIMATE QUESTIONS ~click here~

Mayor Richard Moccia. "Our crime rate has gone down...," But, read this opposite view from an independent source.

Republican Mayor Moccia "very gratified" about dismal crime statistics.

Mayor Moccia is willing to wait years before he tackles quality of life issues in Norwalk. It sounds like Republican Presidential Nominee McCain saying that he's willing to stay in Iraq for 100 years.

Mayor Moccia confirms the findings of the Common Council Committee that he chooses to ignore.

Mayor Moccia labels 80% of Americans, Not Patriotic?

STATE OF THE CITY 2007 - Present - page 2

Mayor Moccia likes to brag about Norwalk's AAA bond rating while he continues to withhold city funds that are needed for maintenance and upkeep of Norwalk in much the same way like a previous Republican administration that rendered Norwalk's infrastructure in complete chaos, including the school system.

Mayor Moccia and Republican members of the Common Council try to dump trash on South Norwalk. This is an example and clear indication of "Republican Business as Usual" and how Republicans treat the tax-payers residents of Norwalk.

DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL MEMBERS STOP REPUBLICAN ATTEMPT TO IGNORE RESIDENTS and REPUBLICAN MAYOR MOCCIA RETRACTS IN THE FACE OF PUBLIC OPPOSITION.

ANOTHER MAJOR BLUNDER

Due to the efforts of the Democratic Town Committee and District B the city has re-instated 8 parking spaces plus 2 more parking spaces designated to persons with disabilities) BUT, THE BLUNDER CONTINUES

LAME EXCUSE FOR A MAJOR BLUNDER. This is what Art Scialabba, Norwalk Republican Town Chairman, wrote recently. (Republican officials won't take the high road if their lives depended on it) But, how do you explain incompetence when they have nothing else to say? "Swift-boating" the opposition seems to be the Republican way.

DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL MEMBERS STOP REPUBLICAN ATTEMPT TO IGNORE RESIDENTS and REPUBLICAN MAYOR MOCCIA RETRACTS IN THE FACE OF PUBLIC OPPOSITION.

SOUTH NORWALK COMMUNITIES JOIN FORCES FOR A COMMON PURPOSE; FIGHTING THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION's DISREGARD FOR THE WELL BEING OF RESIDENTS and FOR QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES.

Fred Bondi seems to side with Republicans at "the drop of a hat" and against the best interest of the Democratic Town Committee. IN ALL INSTANCES, IT APPEARS LIKE FRED BONDI IS LEADING THIS HAVOC.

MEMBERS OF THE REPUBLICAN TOWN COMMITTEE DISTRICT ~B~ AND DISTRICT ~E~ ARE "NOWHERE TO BE FOUND" WHEN IT COMES TO THE FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, THE RIGHTS OF THE COMMUNITY, MISCARRIAGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND SOUTH NORWALK COMMUNITIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE MEADOW STREET TRANSFER STATION AND MANY OTHER ISSUES AFFECTING OUR COMMUNITIES.

MAYOR DICK MOCCIA FAILS TO PROVIDE LEADERSHIP. MOCCIA'S RECORD OF FAILURES CONTINUES... Mayor Moccia fails to resolve a number of major issues,

STATE OF THE CITY 2007 - Present - page 6

These are the crimes that affect the quality of life in Norwalk that Mayor Moccia wants to discount,

Kidnapping and abductions increased by 53 percent, and sexual assault increased 24 percent.
Disorderly conduct charges also increased by 20 percent.
prostitution increased by 240 percent.

TRUE TO PAST REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATIONS, MAYOR DICK MOCCIA TURNS HIS BACK WHEN IT COMES TO DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE PEOPLE OF NORWALK AND THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH NORWALK COMMUNITIES, BUT HE CONTINUES TO COME THROUGH FOR DEVELOPERS. WE WONDER WHY?

"THANK YOU" TO ALL SUPPORTERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES IN THE FIGHT TO KEEP TRASH OUT OF SOUTH NORWALK

DICK MOCCIA AND CITY CARTING. THIS IS THE INCOMPETENCE AND DANGEROUS DEALINGS THAT MAYOR DICK MOCCIA HAS BROUGHT TO CITY GOVERNMENT

STATE OF THE CITY 2007 - Present - page 8

REPUBLICAN MAYOR MOCCIA rushed to sign the contract with City Carting & Recycling, Inc. Monday, August 4, 2008 without further consideration for any impact on Crescent street. CRESCENT STREET RESIDENTS DESERVE BETTER.

THE CITY TRANSFER FACILITY (Garbage dump) ON CRESCENT STREET IS NEAR A PLAYGROUND AND CHILDREN'S MUSEUM.
