Click on the following images below of an Inter-Office Memo from Councilman Anthony Brancatelli to Council President Martin Sweeney regarding the Sunpu Opto legislation. (You should be able to enlarge them once you open each image up).
Councilman Brancatelli, who was absent for the Monday, May 17th Council Meeting has requested the legislation be placed back into five of Council's Committees.
Brancatelli has stated he is a no vote on the legislation as it stands. He alludes in his memo to that fact that he is -- "...still trying to come to an understanding of what side of the meter we are on when trying to see if this is “Being Bold” or “Being irresponsible”...
I do not expect that Council will be voting on this legislation until June 7th at the earliest. I hope I am correct and those of us that oppose the legislation can convince the remaining Council members and Administration of a more prudent course of opening the bidding process and request for qualifications to attract quality companies and products that we could begin to procure responsibly.
I am continuing to reach out to people that understand the technology and mechanics of developing industry linkages based on quality and credibility and market based competition and collaboration. If you believe you can help in that inquiry please contact me.

Brian Cummins,
