Cocoa Puffs Surfaces


Public Record Of The Day

Cocoa Puffs, aka former Enfield Mayor Patrick Tallarita, has put himself forward as a candidate for the town Clean Energy Committee.

In a form submitted recently to the Enfield Town Council, Tallarita’s application shows lines crossing out “Ethics Commission,” with “Clean Energy Comm.” written in beside the column for “Board, Commission or Agency interested in.”

Responding to the request, “Please outline your qualifications and how you feel you would contribute to the committee or commission,” Tallarita’s application states:

* Interested in the new “Clean Energy Cmt”. I watched Al Gore’s movie.

    Yeah, like he really cares about clean energy. Then again, this is probably because he and Davey Fred wanted to build their new "green" condo development on Simon Rd, near that old Starr waste dump.

    Hummmm. That's certainly one way to push thru their private agenda.

    its almost harder to get rid of him, than it is a bad rash. enough all ready. he should do everyone a favor and stay away from politics and "public service". its embarassing how needy he appears.

    The only committee he should be heading up is the "save future high school graduations for the
    grounds of the high schools" committee. Because he was in charge when these $7+ million athletic field plans were developed for the town's two high schools.

    Lo and behold, now the students can't use these $$$$ renovated synthetic athletic fields for their graduation ceremony because they may damage the fields. As a result Enfield will need another $30K to purchase a special cover. Does the fiscal bleeding ever end?

    Its criminal that at no time during all these athetlic field discussion were Enfield townsfolk notified that high school graduations couldn't be held on these new fields. Talk about the prior Cocoa Council miscommuncating & misrepresentation. Cocoa may have a short memory, but townsfolk don't.

    Perhaps former Mayor Tat. learned a thing or two when Enfield was working with DEP to clean up the contraminated soil from Fermi High field (before those field renovations could even begin and what did that add to the cost of project, another $2+ million).

    But wait, didn't Enfield then turn around and purchase tainted soil from another vendor, to cap this project. Dahhh.

    Please keep the former Mayor away from any Clean Energy committee cuz his administration already botched up enough things in Enfield. It will be years before the high school's contaminated field projects will be paid off.

    WHY THE SUDDEN INTEREST? HE DOES NOTHING FOR ANYONE BUT HIMSELF. ITS ALL ABOUT HIS SIMON ROAD DEVELOPMENT. THE ONLY GREEN HE CARES ABOUT IS HIS PROFIT.

    Tallarita has been and remains OLD NEWS. Why not apply the same scrutiny to the new regime? It would be more relevant than dwelling obsessively on the past.

    Is there anyone on the current Enfield Council trying to construct so-called "green" condos on/near a known toxic dump? If so, let them come forward to face the scrutiny.

    The former mayor should be old news but alas he refuses to go away quietly, & take his hair brain, real estate schemes along with him.

    Only thing "remarkable" about any of this, is that Cocoa Puff didn't ask either his wife or one of his kids to throw their hat in the ring, for him. Didn't he, his wife and even his daughter run unsuccessfully for Democratic party district leadership? Isn't one of his sons sitting on the Enfield Athletic Field Building committee?

    Al Gore wouldn't be foolish enough to build anything "green" on that "glow-in-the-dark" property. Gore would be far more concerned that nothing has ever done to "undo" the damage of that area, by past Enfield councils.

    The only "green" these builders are interested in, is adding some "green" to their wallets, at the expense of others.

    Good grief! Tallarita actually gave serious thought to being on ethics commission. He's the poster child for having no ethics at all.
