Disappointed by how Lennie covered the East Side primary end of story. We use to could have gotten info all day on OIB guess times have changed too many suburban readers I guess.

*** Amazing, a “which way is up” local Bpt election in Bpt’s East Side & “no roving OIB reporter” covering? Holly Mary, Theresa, Barbara, Guadalupe, Fatima; Joel? Somebody please, everyone’s waiting for the Big-Payback News, “Good God!” By the way, does anyone know what tomorrow’s weather might be? (wink) ***

I voted today, did my civic duty at L Marin.
Are there results yet?
Wonder if the usual ABs will win it, East Side only in Bridgeport

Go to any Monday board meeting and hear “the schools are deplorable.” The janitors and mechanics keep the schools open. They are the answer, not the problem. Many make more than their bosses without OT. Great unions set their pay. Plus working OT for other city departments is great for the paycheck.

*** Bpt pays their employees pretty “good”! But don’t blanket case all of them ’cause “some” of these people have put some long years in, moving on up the ladder to get where they’re at today! If not, why cry for education, training & hard work to get where you’re going? And of course there’s some of; it’s “who” you know, as opposed to “what” you know type employees & politics, etc. … But that seems to be what you’ll see in other cities too, maybe more! I’d like to see some kind of comparison of some of Bpt’s top city job titles & salaries to other cities in Conn. and how many citizens they serve as a whole? *** However, there’s no doubt that city government in Bpt “mismanages” a lot of money, in many ways! Mostly due to the way the city & voters have allowed their city government to be run. ***

Any word from Marin on voters who already voted?
