1, Nancy Rossi, am alleging a violation of State Election Laws, specifically campaign financing, The date
ofthe violation was between September 16, 2009 and November 3 , 2009. The identity of the person
alleged to commit the violation is Michael DiMiassa of 136 Putney Drive, West Haven, CT 06516.
{and my husband, Arthur Rossi, witnessed Mr. DiMassa and his team on several occasions distributing
‘campaign literature for the upcoming election. The campaign literature did not have any attribution,
nor could we find out what party paid for the literature. There does not seem to be a Candidate's form
filled out by Mr. DiMassa stating who was responsible for the funding. Additionally, Mayor John Picard
‘and all of the Democrats on Row 8 benefited without an attribution and it is unknown if the group every
contributed to this cause.
Furthermore, Mr. DiMassa ran in the Democratic Primary and had literature that did have an attribution
so he was well aware of the rules/laws. 1am also alleging Mr. DiMassa was well aware of the laws
because by his own writing in Exhibit A he was backed by a seasoned politician, Mayor John M. Picard,
‘Mayor Picard also stated after the mayoral debate that he was backlng Mr. DiMassa and instructed the
audience to do the same.
Examples of the literature are attached and labeled, Exhibit A, Exhibit 8, Exhibit C and Exhibit
Please advise if there Is anything else needed for the complaint,

12 Robin Road
West Haven, CT 06516Open Letter to the Citizens of 7" District
Nancy Rossi was part of the founding of Richard Borer’s Back to the Future Party. Borer bolted
from the Democratic Party when the voters rejected him for his 12 years of financial
mismanagement. He and his friends put West Haven in this terrible financial hole. Nancy Rossi
is connected to the Borer Friendly commission, the Finance Advisory Commission. The
commission's Chairperson Thomas Hamilton, was the former Borer Finance Director. Both Rossi
and the Commission criticize our Mayor John Picard for stabilizing taxes and brining in
economic development. They see taxes as the answer to this mess.
Rossi on 11/13/08 took part in a hearing where the entire Borer friendly commission
recommended raising property taxes. When asked by the Register Ms. Rossi agreed with the
commission’s financial assessment however she neglected to say she would not raise property
taxes. Her silence screams property taxes, she agrees with everything the commission said, but
is mute when it comes to property taxes. Please Nancy reveal your tax plan before the
election!!! It is urgent that you reveal your tax plan now not 90 days after the election. Nancy,
out of respect for the homeowners of the 7" District reveal your tax plan NOW!!!
‘Our Mayor John Picard fought with this commission on raising property taxes, he knows raising
taxes is not the answer. He sees our way out of this financial mess through economic
evelopment, brining businesses in who defray the cost of property taxes from the
Homeowners, The Mayor's successful stabilizing tax plan has drawn nothing but criticism from
Ms. Rossi
Ms. Rossi has yet too present her tax plan to the city even though she has been the head of the
Finance Committee for the past two years and @ CPA, The voters are not stupid, they now she
could have a tax plan by this time. PLEASE REVEAL YOUR TAX PLAN NOW, NOT 90 DAYS AFTER
‘THE ELECTION!
When Nancy Rossi could not get enough signatures on the Democratic petition to entire the
Democratic primary she, like Richard Borer, had a fall back party, the Better Future Party. Ms.
Rossi's ambition gives one pause for thought, she should not use the homeowners backs as @
stepping stone to the Mayor's Office. She should have here plan available before the election
she was prevue to the City’s finances the last two years. Why can’t this CPA, chairwoman of the
Finance Committee have an answer for us now?
ee
Gam proud to be the Picard backed Democratic Candidate, Pam a write in candidate however
we will take 30 seconds with you at the polls to show you how to perform the write in vote. A
vote for Mayor Picard and | is a vote for stabilize taxes and keeping the City moving forward.
Sincerely,
Mike DiMassa
