So who exactly forced Donna out?

Dear Donna:

Here's some words of wisdom for you: Live by sword, die by the sword. While you state that you work @ the will of the treasurer, you don't fully seem to grasp the concept. Kathleen hired you as favor to your sister, Denise. The favor has ended and for whatever reason she does not feel compelled to recommend you to complete her term. Get over it. That's the nature of politics. If you think you now qualify for Unemployment Benefits you are sadly mistaken. May I suggest that during your "forced" retirement you go back to school and take a professional writing course? The memo to Santiago is poorly written. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Donna never did any work in the Treasurer's office for her entire career, how could she possibly be able to take over for Ms. Palm. She took the package while the getting was good and just wanted to make it seem like she was more important than she ever was.

Dear Chris,

Here are a few facts that might be of interest to you. Hartford City Treasurer Kathleen Plam Devine's appointment of Donna Nappier as Assistant Treasurer was never viewed by Denise Nappier as a favor to her, notwithstanding Kathleen's previous employment as Assistant Treasurer when Denise served as Hartford City Treasurer. For a myriad of reasons, Denise believed then that Donna should decline Kathleen's offer and communicated the same to both of them.

Donna's association with Kathleen dates back to the early 1980's -- well before their City of Hartford association -- when both of them worked at the State Treasurer's Office. Donna headed a division of the treasury as Assistant Treasurer and Kathleen was the agency's top communications specialist. During that time, the two of them developed a professional relationship and grew to respect each other's talents and skills. In other words, Kathleen made an informed decision to hire Donna that was void of any influence peddling.

A final word to the wise. May I suggest that you visit or revisit the State of Connecticut laws governing unemployment compensation with implications for public officials who serve at the pleasure of their appointing authority. This matter involving Donna is not a fait accompli.

Here's wishing you and your family a wonderful and safe holiday season.

Sincerely,

Denise Nappier

Thanks Denise,

It is easy for people to sling allegations without identifying themselves, and they most likely have far more issues than anyone they might write about.

I think some people just expect everything political must be dirty and corrupt. In most cases it seems like it usually is, but there are still good honest people out there trying to do the right thing. Thank you for being one of them.

If Kathleen Palm and Donna Nappier, as well as others, weren't willing to stand up and do their jobs , the pension fund would have been raided on several occasions by Eddie Perez when he needed to try to balance the budget.

ADVICE TO the powers to be;
City Council, govern with some dignity (at least put up a façade), haven’t seen any sign of dignity yet; still waiting, Corporation Council, SMH… Mr. Mayor, we’ll see you in November, oh yeah he was adamant that he was not running, but he is, or is he… according the article in the Courant; “He has to” because, why; it gets better, he’s questioned the competency and qualifications of the 6 African American names that either announced they were running or was considering running for Mayor, let’s not forget when because of Perez’ down spiral, tripped into the Mayor’s Office, encouraged all the many qualified candidates’ of Hartford to run, then his true colors came out, out in a big way; he stated in the article, that of the names he heard mentioned, none of them were qualified or competent, really Mr. Mayor.. NONE, NADA, ZIPPO, what an ego. We already had a Mayor with a big one of those and look where it got us, on national news. It should be clear to black folks, he has no regard for you, can you believe the arrogance, insensitive, ignorance spouting from this Man; El Jefe, is he for real, I guess he got bit by the POWER BUG ….. Voters get your repellent out! Don’t worry Mr. Mayor for you; it’s not; “The British are coming, the British are coming”, it’s more like “The Dirt is coming, The Dirt is Coming”; things that make you go umm.

In advance to all of you, who are going to write a negative comment about this story as you have been open your eyes.

Food for thought; what you do in the DARK always comes out in the LIGHT; God don’t sleep.
