NAME: Steve Morelli
POLITICAL PARTY: Democrat
AGE: 51
FAMILY: Wife Maggie; children Lizzie Connelly, Jimmy Connelly and Emma
EDUCATION: University of Connecticut School of Law (1986)
OCCUPATION: Attorney
PAST OFFICES HELD: Three terms on Town Council, Deputy Mayor since 2007
PERSONAL STATEMENT: It has been my honor to serve on the Town Council for the past six years and as Deputy Mayor for the past four years. During that time, Berlin, much like all of us individually, has been confronted with tumultuous economic challenges. I believe we’ve met those challenges in a very sensible and responsible manner. We have budgeted conservatively without ignoring Berlin’s present and long term needs. We have managed to maintain the services provided by the Town without significantly raising our tax rate. More importantly we, together with our Town Manager and staff, have budgeted for our future by addressing our town and school infrastructure needs using an approach that maximizes available State and Federal grants and reimbursements. We have made difficult decisions but sound decisions by using a simple formula – what’s best for Berlin.
Meet The Candidate: Steve Morelli For Town Council
Deputy Mayor says he always chooses 'what’s best for Berlin.'

Berlin teachers' median annual salary is nearly $80,000, plus family medical benefits costing over…Read More $20,000, plus the ability to retire at 55 years of age with summers off, winter and spring vacations, and virtually ever holiday known to man and woman, and a work day at the high school ending mid afternoon: not bad. Perhaps teachers salaries have little, if any, correlation to quality of education...huh?

ok, first i would like to apologize for going a little nuts, i was a little worked up last night.…Read More again, i apologize. but i dont believe i called you any names, i did however refer to the word assume, which you did when you said people like me speed. one speeding ticket in 13 years of driving (when i was younger). and you are correct, loving family and children are values i have, thats why i try to take the responsibility of protecting them, and not leaving their protection up to someone else (speeders in this case). but i guess that liberals/sheep, wouldnt know about that, wanting and thinking that the govt or someone else will be there to protect them. like i said in the other comment section, dont rely on others for your or others safety, rely on yourself.
