Oh please, don't anoint this guy for getting caught doing something shady. He should never have done it to begin with and got caught pure and simple and when the crap hit the fan had to backpedal. There's probably a deal in the works to give him the $ as we speak. And what's with the double speak of the incoming mayor "giving back" 20k of his salary by working on his days off???? That's not giving taxpayers money back dude. That's taking the money, because in case no one told him, he essentially works every day so it's not like he is a 9 to fiver. If you want to give the money back, just take the lower salary. He's not starting off on a good foot.

Absolutely laughable. Cloud was caught red handed. If you rob a bank but give the money back is all forgiven?
Luke -last l knew the Mayor is a 24/7 position. No one begrudges you your salary it was set fairly and by the state, unlike your Treasures' back room sneaky deals. Better keep an eye on him - the citizens of Hartford sure will.

This is like when Obama(Barry from Honolulu) took over and gave the wall street bankers their million dollar bonuses after their business had failed and were being bailed out by the taxpayer. The greed of these top "progressives" knows no limits.

What does the mayor elect mean he will work unpaid days to keep his salary at $147,000? You are not an hourly worker you get the same paycheck every pay period so why would you have unpaid days?

I felt there was something strange with Bronin's suggestion that he was to work on his days off to justify a give-back to the increase. His position is not a 9-5er. But I really don't have a problem with a pay increase for the mayor's position. I do have a problem patting Cloud on the back for giving back his increase. Good Hartford Courant reporting forced him to give it up. There was no doubt, a serious discussion between Bronin and Cloud and Cloud really had no choice. But pa-lease,Kevin, don't pat him on the back.

It had nothing to do with the Courant. Jeff Cohen at WNPR originally broke the story and I posted my story about it and asking Adam to give it back days before the Courant's editorial, and I would imagine I had several more private conversations with Mr. Cloud expressing my concerns than anyone at the Courant has had.
