You would think the Mayor would check the law before doing whatever he wants. Maybe we need a Mayor who's a lawyer and understands how laws work. Oh' wait a second Pedro is a lawyer. What a joke he's turning out to be.

Do your homework Kevin. Due to City Hall closing early on the last day to collect, the City is well within its right to extend the day for people who weren't able to make it in.

I did do my homework, can you say the same? Please cite for me anywhere in Connecticut State Statutes where this permission is given.

It was clearly an act of kindness extended to the citizens of Hartford and I think the comments are mean and small.

Nancy,

It is clear what the intent was, but when do the laws on the books start having any meaning, or do they only apply to the other 168 towns and Hartford is free to do what they want?

Agree it was a nice gesture for taxpayers legal or not. Too bad this Hartford resident didn't know about it until I saw it on your blog. Doubt I was the only one who missed the opportunity.

Remember, in every court case one lawyer will wind up a looser.

Being a lawyer gives you the opportunity to interpret the law in your favor, or is that a Judge? I don't know, I don't have a law degree.

But then I don't need one to understand that the Law is the Law and all parties are bound by it. This is simply outrageous and a clear abuse of power.

The people will speak to this issue, the way that streets have been plowed in Hartford's North End, and the up coming catastrophe of trash pick up that has yet to be realized, in the November election.

Seems to me there are a lot bigger and more harmful violations of the law that go on in Hartford than this. This is a city actually giving a damn about the welfare of its people. If someone "took their chances," waited to the last minute, and then got killed on the road trying to get to City Hall to pay their taxes due to the weather, how does that make things better for anyone? Find a more worthy windmill to tilt at ...
