Tesei calls for Mazza's removal

With the Hamilton Avenue School project mired in a new delay, the town's first selectman is calling on the committee overseeing another school reconstruction project, Glenville School, to consider a shake-up in leadership.

First Selectman Peter Tesei said Tuesday that Glenville School's building committee should consider appointing somebody new to its top-ranking position of "chair," which is currently held by Frank Mazza.....

....the beleaguered Hamilton Avenue School project. That project has gone more than $6 million over budget and spanned more than three years, despite initial promises of an 18 month timeline.

The Chickahominy project, which has missed numerous deadlines since work began in spring 2005, appeared to be on the verge of completion late last week, only to get delayed once again on Monday because of a problem with the school's boiler system......

..... Tesei said he believes it might be prudent for that school's building committee to consider a "changing of the guard.".....

....Mazza declined to comment on Tesei's remarks, saying he would rather talk directly to the first selectman before speaking publicly about the future of either of his building committee chairmanships.

The first selectman's comments came amid expressions of confusion and outrage from parents and town leaders over the latest delays in the project.

"This marks a failure in leadership," said Rep. Lile Gibbons. "There's plenty of blame to go around ... for everybody connected with this project. It's appalling."
