First Meeting

Hello friends,

Tonight was the first official meeting of the 2007-2009 Legislative Council. The first meeting is an organizational one, where we elect the Council leadership, set our schedule and vote on the standing rules.

Tonight the Council elected:

Al Gorman - President
Carol Noble - President Pro Tem

The Democratic Caucus selected:

Matt Fitch - Majority Leader
Betty Wetmore - Minority Leader

Finally, the new Majority and Minority leaders selected "Whips", who act as assistants to the Majority and Minority Leaders. Those members selected were:

Jim Pascarella - Majority Whip
Craig Cesare - Minority Whip

The schedule and standing rules stayed the same.

We get down to business next Monday with our first regular meeting. I will be asking for agendas electronically and if I can get them I will post them here regularly.

As always, feel free to e-mail with questions or concerns anytime to councilmancurtleng@yahoo.com.

Best,

Curt

Election Day Results & A Special Thank You

A very special thank you to all of the 6th District residents that came out and supported me yesterday. It was great to see so many friends at the polls and to spend a some time talking about the important issues facing Hamden.

I do not have the final results, but the estimated totals for 6th District Council was:

Leng:
1010

Reilly:
534

I am humbled by the result and promise to do my best to represent our District and to fight for our Town over the coming term and beyond.

Please e-mail me at councilmancurtleng@yahoo.com to talk about any issue. I look forward to talking to you.
