Mayor questioned
Editor:
The public would like Meriden Mayor Mike Rohde’s commentary on the following:
What would Rohde say if President Bush held a monthly press session and would only answer a scripted cowardly farce like the one at city hall?
What does Rohde think of the school superintendent getting that huge raise? What about her earning more than Governor Rell?
When was the last time Rohde visited the soup kitchen, the homeless shelter or any of the city’s four projects? What has Rohde to say about the city paying $100,000 for the Grove St. bowling alleys and the cost to make it a parking lot (which will exceed over $150,000)? Did he or any council members look it over or just rubber-stamp this fiasco? What has Rohde done for the older people on fixed incomes (whose taxes he voted for) besides ignore their plight?
What does Rohde think about time clocks for teachers and all school administrators? When I heard some of these people work until midnight, I was appalled. What does he think of the city manager, former mayor and city councilor talking about some city homes seeing a decrease in taxes when it was only three homes out of about 16,000?
What does Rohde think about the chief of police and his recently-promoted brother and anyone else in the police department who work in Meriden but reside elsewhere?
What about my suggestion for people who wish to help the school funding, like the former mayor and Councilman Dominello, being able to make donations? What has Rohde done about it?
What has Rohde to say when the former mayor resigns and there is talk of him returning to apply for the school superintendent’s job before it is vacant?
Rohde’s reply in print would be appreciated.
