I have met Mayor jarjura a few times, mostly at area restaurants. He seems like a nice man but we are finding out that he is a liar. He is not keeping his words to his fellow Democrats who would like to have an opportunity to serve and improve Waterbury. Jarjura's time is over, it is time for a change. Jarjura is behaving like a politician that believes that elective office is a career. He has no new ideas, he has no energy to improve our city...if you do not believe me, take a drive through Hillside Avenue, Bishopp Street, Irion Street, Walnut Street, Willow Street, East Farms Street, and even North, South, East and West Main Streets. They are decaying day by day, month by month and are getting worse with every term that Jarjura has been at the helm of our city. The taxes continue to choke the businesses in the city, the morale of the city workers is low and the school system continues deteriorate. There is a sharp increase of uninsured, unregistered and unlicensed drivers (not to mention an avalanche of illegal workers who are now making their home in Waterbury fleeing the stricter laws from Danbury)who have become a burden to our citizens. No, Mike Jarjura needs to go. It is time for a change. We need to hear the proposals from both O'Leary and Vance to decide who should be our next Mayor.J.R.Orellanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318393276216105442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959311154355211412.post-21826051548674065932008-12-29T13:53:00.000-05:002008-12-29T13:53:00.000-05:00It is unfortunate that Waterbury has to choose fro...It is unfortunate that Waterbury has to choose from these three exceptionally qualified candidates in one election, when there has been such a dearth of quality mayoral candidates in the past. Wouldn't it have been great to have been able to choose Vance instead of Santopietro, O'Leary instead of Bergin, and Jarjura (or anybody else on the planet) instead of Giordano? It is an unfortunate quirk of fate that they are all up for consideration at once. What would the city be like if all three of them could have served five terms each over the past thirty years? It will be a colossal waste to have to lose two of the three of them this year.<BR/><BR/>It is also completely unfair that O'Leary, the best Police Chief ths city has seen in at least 100 years, has to resign his job in order to run. Can Jarjura and Vance honestly claim that they are not in a position to influence the expenditure of Federal Funds? The city spends tens of millions of federal dollars on projects that these gentlemen have almost complete control over, so why aren't they "Hatched" just like O'Leary?

It should be about who can be the most dependable candidate to LEAD the City of Waterbury for the next two years, and beyond, and my vote goes to Paul Vance. Paul has the qualifications, character, and strong work ethic to advance this city forward. The city is at an important juncture right now particularly with the economic downturn, high unemployment, and millions of dollars in state aid that could potentially be withheld. Furthermore, plans to improve the I-84 and RT-8 highways will dramatically alter certain sections of Waterbury -- hopefully for the better! In these challenging times we need a mayor who is more than just ceremonial. Paul Vance will bring forward a progressive plan that among other things will include stemming the loss of the middle class to the suburbs, protecting and enhancing the quality of life for taxpayers and merchants, and looking for ways to reduce the high unemployment rate that continues to plague Waterbury. Unfortunately, Jarjura, who in the 21st century does not use a computer has become too complacent and out of touch to advance Waterbury forward!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959311154355211412.post-3163172021147665482008-12-23T13:33:00.000-05:002008-12-23T13:33:00.000-05:00Waterbury needs to avoid the politics of the past....Waterbury needs to avoid the politics of the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959311154355211412.post-60454204067193047862008-12-23T11:53:00.000-05:002008-12-23T11:53:00.000-05:00Hmmm....Jarjura and O'Leary are educated as well. ...Hmmm....<BR/><BR/>Jarjura and O'Leary are educated as well. And O'Leary is a great family man. Jarjura appointed O'Leary because he knew he would be the best choice for the job. And we all know what O'Leary has done for Waterbury. He's been loyal to Jarjura. He was loyal to him in '05 and '07, and didn't run against him then. Vance has run for mayor how many times now? He's too young and too inexperienced to lead this city. And it's time for Jarjura to go. He's disengaged, and he's not as popular as he thinks he is.<BR/><BR/>On www.waterburyobserver.com there's a 07/01/2007 story, "The Chief", explaining why Neil O'Leary is the most influential man in Waterbury.

He faces a serious internal threat and his best bet is to step down gracefully and get back to his private business projects, which seemed to have pre-occupied him for the past few years anyway. Thanks for the steady hand on the wheel, now get out of the way.<BR/><BR/>• O'Leary is a strong leader with a tilt towards old school bare knuckled politics. He has been involved in several controversies, and despite his wonderful work with PAL, he has a dark side to him. He is a force of nature and will make things happen, I'm just not sure it will all be positive. If O'Leary can stay focused and be on the up and up (as in be honest) - he could be a mayor with impact and the muscle to get things done.<BR/><BR/>• Vance is smart and ambitious, maybe too ambitious. He has largely been perceived by political insiders as selfish and not a team player. His stint on the board of aldermen has been mostly about him since the get-go. He has run individual campaigns for alderman (a no-no) and is widely suspected of conducting bullet campaigns where he encourages his supporters to vote just for him, and not anybody else on the slate, thus given him inflated numbers and appearing to be the most popular politician in town - which he is not. He might have a future if he matures and is less focused on himself. But if he insists on plowing ahead in 2009 Vance will be brushed out of Waterbury politics and end his political career. He has no chance.<BR/><BR/>In the end this battle is all about Jarjura and O'Leary. Will Mike stay in? Probably not...<BR/><BR/>When the dust settles it will be a Democrat elected mayor in 2009, and it will be Neil O'Leary. Afterwards, we need to cross our fingers and hope O'Leary listens to the better angels of his nature, and not to the voices that have steeped this city in greed and corruption. The real battle for this city's future will be between Neil O'Leary's ears.<BR/><BR/>It will be fascinating to watch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959311154355211412.post-14287918302786370302008-12-18T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-18T11:10:00.000-05:00I've known Paul Vance since we were kids and I alw...I've known Paul Vance since we were kids and I always remembered his love for Waterbury! A true passion that very few still have today. I'm totally impressed that Paul would come back to his hometown after law school when he could have gone anywhere. He's going to be raising a family here and building a home. Not sure where the other two stand on family values. But, I wish them all the luck!!

The oversight board did all of his work for him and now he is only a caretaker. The police chief also seems like a good man, but brings his long political history to the table.

To be honest, seeing Chief O'Leary's picture and reading that he may be intending to run for mayor adds a certain energy that Waterbury has not seen for a long time. A division in the Democratic party during the Presidential election this year added an element that had never been seen in electoral history. People were riled up about politics and actually cared to see what was going on. I foresee the same thing taking place once there is a splintered party and primary between these three big cheeses in Waterbury. <BR/>All three really do have good yet vastly different views about what is best for the city. But Jarjura's broken promises are starting to piss me off. He did a good job for awhile, but it's time for some new exciting blood like Neil O'Leary to come in and shake the city up. <BR/>Here comes a showdown and The Observer is the only place that all three candidates are comfortable speaking the truth because it's a place that actually prints the truth. I'm excited to see John Murray get involved in the political scene again and passionately report what is going on in Waterbury politics. It's about time things got heated in Waterbury again and I can't wait to see what ends up happening in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959311154355211412.post-89715221336374719742008-12-12T19:23:00.000-05:002008-12-12T19:23:00.000-05:00Fair and balanced.

I would love to hear the three subjects comment on this piece of journalism.<BR/><BR/>All three seem to care about the city and its people. Their problems may lie in their hearts more than their personal desire to be the top dog. <BR/><BR/>It is my hope that any (crazy) negative (political) fallout to allies of one the candidates or another, though part of collateral damage, should be contained. In other words, the City as a whole should escape the old corruption. God knows this city doesn't need that again. To the credit of all three men. Hats off to them and the honest reporting of the subject.<BR/>With all your faults, Waterbury, your city has the potential few cities have. Despite the appearance of old politics it is the future visions of each of these men that count. After the gladiators leave the field of battle I hope they turn their swords into plow shears and pull together. But it sure will make the the ticket to the smackdown Ultimate Fighting fun to watch. Well worth buying a front row seat to the Observer. You can't beat the price of admission.<BR/><BR/>Keep on informing us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
