Well all my life New haven has been a one party system. Now if there are other candidates, running they are from the same party running under different tickets. Every other city or town Ive seen has a change in goverment now and then. One party has all the control in this city. If they don't do their job properly we should vote a different party in until we get someone doing the will of the people, if they don't do it get someone else. I seen in some elections where there are only 5-7000 voters going to the polls. Until people all band together and give another party a chance things won't change. each administration in the city is only two years. if one doesnt work out get another

Je is correct a major problem with New Haven is it is a one party city. Competition tends to make one try harder. Can you image what it would be like if there was only one grocery store in the area?.
I called my alderwomen on Thursday and left a message and she as of Sunday not return my call. What is one to do vote against her in the next election? Last election she ran unopposed in both the primary and general election.
Also you would think that See Click Fix is a good resource for the alders to see what is happening in their ward. I wonder how many read the posts.

To be fair I want to make it clear the elder who did not return my call is not in the East Rock area.

Public works: can city plows be sent to clear the handicapped spaces here? This is one of several concerns I have heard recently related to handicapped spaces being inaccessible.

To be fair again my alderwomen returned my phone call today around 11:30 AM. Maybe it took so long because of the storm and my message may have said," to take your time it was not real important." I also learned she reads the posts on See Click Fix.

This issue has been resolved.
