There is probably no one venue in the community, besides the Rock Cats, that draws the people that the museum does to the city of New Britain. Too often we have a lot of negatives tied to our community, and this is a huge positive.

After lengthy and cordial negotiations, we have reached an agreement that will keep the Rock Cats in New Britain for a very long time. We take pride in our stadium and in the Rock Cats organization, which has been a great partner for our community.

Bill's a very committed resident of the city. I know Bill's going to do a wonderful job of leading the department forward.

I think they are two shining stars in the department and I'm pleased they both got to this level.

It is remarkable for them to get below spending. That normally doesn't happen. Much credit to the board and their hard work. Now it is my turn to take a whack at it. We have some creative things we are going to do to try to get it down even further.

I really see it getting really big. In this community you have to search for people who are similar to you. Another year and we'll be in much better shape.
