At the last P&Z meeting, we were informed that the Midlstate RegionalPlanning Committee which is comprised of various towns was being dissolved and transformed into the Lower Connecticut River Valley
Again, at the meeting Johnson was not present. The vote was taken, and
the Democrats voted along party lines to keep Johnson as the representative, and offered me to be alternate. Johnson has never in my history on P&Z or before my time provided the Commission with any reports about what
goes on at these monthly meetings, or comment on his ability to attend. Citizens concerned with Middletown being adequately represented at this important board should direct questions to Johnson.

Council of Governments. Middletown needs to send a representative from the commission and an alternate. Commissioner Michael Johnson (D) has been the representative for the past four years. Yet, attendance to P&Z meetings is rare because of his job as a lobbyist in Hartford. Commissioner Fazzino nominated me to be the
new Middletown representative to replace Johnson.He felt my professional background in architecture and planning wouldserve Middletown well.Again, at the meeting Johnson was not present. The vote was taken, and
