Good Article Kevin.

The project will not be completed in the forseeable future.

The incompetence,venality and cronyism of Mayor Perez and his cronies have cost the City and its long suffering taxpayers millions of dollars.

Hartford will be in a receivership/oversight situation within 9 months largely due to massive unrestricted spending with little or no controls,oversight in which much of the work that has been done has been shoddy( the park street project)and "handouts" to political allies and unnecessary jobs to his cronies.All the above plus a lousy economy is bringing Hartford down.

The new political team running the party is less friendly with Eddie as a rule and that is a good thing.However, I was less then thrilled that there wasn't a vision speech by the new chair and an action plan for reform of the party and its rules.The first person she mentioned publically and in the newspaper, as her mentor, is under an investigatory cloud.And some around her are convicted criminals,while others are in appearance corrupt and want their chance at the patronage trough.The party is virtually split evenly and I suspect that the "outs" will do what the "ins" did to them when they were running the party.The chances for any party unity are slim indeed especially when folks on both sides don't treat each other well and are uncivil to eachother.Some folks around her team have been talking about "being quiet" in the hopes that a greater unity can arise out of a "kumbaya" strategy,but that is just wishful thinking given the history of those competing sides of the party.In addition, ive noticed not one public word from the new political team in charge about the corruption at City Hall,Mayor Perez or the horrible financial situation that awaits all of Hartford's citizens.My guess is that both sides are in process of remaking themselves....the new team may well remake themselves in a way like Eddies team was..while the old team will remake themselves as reformers.This all bodes badly for Hartford.

Just wanted to say I love your blog. How is it that you know the things you know and the Councilpeople all seem to be blind to what is going on?

The city ought to be paying you for what you do rather than the stiffs at city hall now.

Hopefully Pedro will take notice and ask for your help to expose more of what's been going on after King Eddie exits city hall.

Just my opinion, thanks again

With real legitimate city projects managed by the city's LICENSED architects, projects are NOT put out to bid/work is NOT commenced until ALL funding is in place!!! Again, as you stated the NON architect (Eddie's hand picked crony from Diggs)is in charge of this so called public safety project. "Public safety", hmm, that's verbally ironic...

Bruce -- So who do you want as the new "political team?" You didn't want Arena's group for obvious reasons, now it seems you don't want Holloway's either. Is there a party chair who would satisfy you?

Can we move on about the Town Committee?

The deals are done the election is final, now let's see what they do. No amount of complaining is going to change anything.

Most likely the entire matter will be irrelevant if things don't start turning around quickly

Bruce: Still long on criticism and woefully short on solutions...

And what about your disparaging comment: "some around her are convicted criminals"?

I thought you, as a lawyer especially, and perhaps for other reasons, would support the concept of a second chance: that people can make mistakes, pay their debt to society and move on without being forever chastised and crippled by the self righteousness which afflicts so many of your more conservative breathren.

OK..ive said my piece on the DTC.

As to the corruption at City Hall...on my way to my office I noticed ALOT of media at the Courthouse. I assume they were covering the start of jury selection.Pedro did a good job on "Face The State" and I am confident that he can stepup to Mayor and do a good job for us.
