End of a Dictatorship or will it persist?

For those who are following the Palmer Ma. Town Manager saga, here is the latest news.

PALMER - In a close vote, the Town Council Monday night picked Matthew S. Streeter as the next town manager, pending successful contract negotiations, but not before debating charter requirements for the position and the merits of each finalist.

Streeter, 39, of South Windsor, Conn., won out over Richard T. Kwiatkowski, Orange's town administrator, by a 5-4 vote.

The biggest questions is will this end the dictatorship style of government by South Windsors, republican party? Is Deputy Mayor Prague up to the task of presiding over council meetings in an orderly and professional manner? Will Prague grow the much needed spine to stand on this own or will he continue to be under the control of RTC Chairman Bazzano. Even scarier is Councillor/RTC chairman Bazzano will become Deputy Mayor as if his ego could grow any larger. This Clearly a conflict of interest in most people's minds and subject for a future post.

Bottom line is, will Mayor Prague be his own man and show he really will work in the best interest of all South Windsor residents or will he take the easy road and just work for the one's that follow along with the RTC play book?


If there was ever a time for residents to start attending council meetings it is now! If you want to see change in how our town Government moves forward people need to speak up now.

Speak Out and Be Heard!
