Nancy Barton says First Selectman Peter Tesei “lacked empathy” in comments he made toward a disabled resident and she criticized both his attitude toward Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) and his dispute with Democratic Town Committee Chairman Frank Farricker over questions about what the town’s overtime policy was for town workers.
“We wish we had a better response system and more information and accountability,” Ms. Barton, told fellow BET Members.
Mrs. Barton also said. “Blaming the residents and the utility are not the answer. That’s why I want to restore the funding, because I think it’s important.”
Ms. Barton voted for restoring the money for the emergency management coordinator,but other BET members voted to set the funding at a reduced level of $51,000 in the department’s total budget line of $121,000.
The position is currently filled by former town Fire Chief Daniel Warzoha on a contractual basis of $60/hour.
