But despite the negative votes cast by Councilmen Arthur Pettigrew, Dan Kelly and Michael Rodgers, a one-year renewal with the Bruno Group of Clifton was approved for a maximum of $60,000. The firm has worked for the town since 1976, according to its chairman, John Bruno. Following the meeting, Kelly criticized the Bruno Group's recent work for the town, charging that it works solely with Councilman Anselmo Millan.

"If I spend $60,000 and you give me $1 million, I think that's a good investment. Every time we call, Bruno is there. His performance is very good." "If I spend $60,000 and you give me $1 million, I think that's a good investment. It's called having an education RAMBO. LOL Mayor Raymond McDonough said Kelly, Pettigrew and Rodgers have complained in the past that the town doesn't receive enough money for the Recreation Commission programs. All three councilmen are on the commission. The Dumb leading the blind. Pass it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
