"MORE SEGARRA ELECTION YEAR NONSENSE"

Early indications I am getting are that the Mayor wants to take over $12m out of the Board's reserve for health care benefits for retirees to balance the 2015-16 budget. The City also plans to take $3.5m from the same fund to help balance this year's budget. The Board will have to replenish that reserve, meaning teachers and other school employees are going to lose their jobs so the Mayor can announce a "no tax increase no layoff" budget.

"I'm not afraid to say to you here that I think the state should be involved in supporting this initiative," Fonfara said. "Homeless shelters, halfway houses, low-income housing, high unemployment, drug issues, high crime … these neighborhoods have shouldered the burdens, and the residents that have stayed in those areas and the businesses that have stayed in those areas pay the highest property taxes in the state."
----------------
Fonfara's criticism of his district is entirely accurate, outside of the bogus claim that the problem is somehow related to suburbanites buying narcotics. My complaint about him is that he is bad-mouthing the town in order to help the municipal government get some revenue from the idiotic baseball stadium urban renewal project. Two things: The money generated by baseball ticket sales will do nothing to civilize the people of the city. Fonafara, being a Big Government Lib, is apparently not keen to acknowledge State policies are responsible for the "burdening" of Hartford with the undesirables he enumerates.

To be fair to Fonfara, I think this was in response to suburbanites dumping on our city. He pointed out, rightfully, that it's suburban money that funds the drug trade responsible for any bad reputation Hartford has. He just expressed it poorly because he's not that smart.

I agree that he may not be too bright, but he also said that this problem in North Hartford has gone on for over 40 years, Probably close to half of those years he has been a state rep or state Senator, and it would appear that nothing has changed, It Seems like that would indicate it is time for a change in representation

Go ahead, criticize Fontana for telling the truth.
Fontana, could you please change your tone to something like "Hartford North End is the most attractive, peaceful, safest...etc" you get it.

Umm, it is Fonfara not Fontana and you don't find it the least bitt offensive to classify Hartford as a drug dealing bazaar for suburbanites . There are many good hard working people in Hartford that aren't drug dealers. And if Hartford is so dangerous why would anyone come to the Stadium, not really good marketing on the brilliant Senators part

I thought the same thing about the fire and Oh I LMAO when I heard Segarra talk about the ESPN reporter talking about Hernandez and Hartford. I said how did he hear that? what the hell does Pedro know about sports? Unless ESCORTING has been reclassified as a sport!

I guess good job Shelly; still wonder why you would work for a Criminal Pervert, he must be paying you well. I'm sure Charlie is kickin' in under the table.

Hey Pedro you Touch of Class Patron; " TOO LITTLE TO LATE", Good try though.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

O.K. folks in the North End and elsewhere in Hartford, especially all of our righteous political leaders, let's see if it's only the WHITE guy (Kevin) who calls Fonfara out for his disgraceful, stereotypical comments and demands an apology.

Demand an apology for what. Fonfara was kind for calling the north end DRUG-SELLING BAZAAR when actually it's DRUG-INFESTED CRIME-INFESTED HELL out there.
Pedro doesn't go there, only for a photo op after fire, to get some free pre-election PR for him. Trust me, I know the area, I've been there, I've seen it.

I'm white and I feel perfectly safe up north, even as deep as westland and garden. But then again I'm on the hfd and somewhat twisted. Drugs everywhere that's for sure...that's what the people like drugs, easy money, sex, and the free food.

Segarra's new budget is a good one; it includes ignoring the North End drug-selling territory for one more year as well as additional funds for next winter snow removal on Prospect Ave.

As someone proposed earlier, Segarra should be awarded the hot dog vendor of the future Hartford Yard Rats Ballpark together with the 2 Charlies- Huertas cab Ortiz.
