Sometimes you need to be afraid what you wish for. Bringing the judiciary in to shine a light on the Hartford Democratic election process may end up illuminating things that they would have preferred to keep hidden.

Regardless, the fear and desperation that the Democratic Town Committee seems to be feeling shows that all we need is a little political competition in Hartford and things could be very, very different. The stranglehold on power has brought this City to its knees, while allowing a lucky few to profit at our expense. Let's hope enough residents get involved so that next election every district has competition.

Sorry, Kevin, there's nothing new here. The DTC is as corrupt as the "officials" its members support and vote for.

8:07 AM , which residents are you hoping “ get involved “ in the next election,,,, THE 20,000 ILLEGAL RESIDENTS THAT BRONIN STATED LIVE IN HARTFORD AND/OR THE DISPLACED PUERTO RICAN ADULTS THAT SOUGHT REFUGE IN HARTFORD ???? Denise Merrill is desperately trying to find a way to let BOTH categories vote! I wonder if they’ll vote conservative??? THERE WILL NEVER BE “FAIR” COMPETITION IN ALL OF THE WELFARE STATE NAMED CONNECTICUT !!!

Stop crying and do try to understand that folks like Luke and DiBella are smarter and much more cunning then you and deserve to run and own Hartford, while the rest of you are their servants.

It won’t get any better if we remain silent. We need to keep exposing these dirty deeds

As usual Kevin, your methods of looking at something are much more comprehensive than many local journalists.

To your point about the "Kennelly" name -- no doubt invoking it has helped John out of many jams over the years. Getting a 90-day suspension reduced to a 30-day vacation was SWEEEEET.
But let's see if that 'ol family name helps him convince a judge to stop an election. That's pretty extraordinary relief and it doesn't look like case law supports it. I am truly sorry that one signature gatherer hired by a member of the slate has placed a cloud over our team. But stay tuned folks, there's more to come . . .

Is DiBella the guy who resides at the Bushnell Tower and uses the same bathroom as his daughter in law?
Well, not really, just pretending so he can claim Hartford residency

If there is another 6th District Democratic Town Committee primary election it is a gigantic waste of Hartford taxpayers money. Let these candidates pay the city to open the polls and pay the workers. These are irresponsible people. Maybe 2% of Democratic voters will participate on Primary Day. HDC members are clueless. I agree,the majority of Hartford residents do not know who their Town Committee members are.

DTC corruption starts at the DiBellas doors and ends at the DiBellas doors. How can anyone trust the system?

Fixing the Hartford political system is impossible. This is the reason young people do not get involved. People are used and abused.

The DiBella's and Ritter's have owned the political system in Hartford at the passing of John Kennelly's grandfather....in tandem with a few others....that is the way it has been since the 70's and you alol are no where near as smart,clever of morality free as they are, so I expect nothing to change until they pass from the scene.Then Hartford will have new "master's" and you will service them instead...

I agree. Hartford residents do not know and do not care about Democratic Town Committee members. Who are they? Don't they just do what they are told? Corruption at its best. That is why Hartford is bankrupt. These people feed off the system.

@12:31 You, Senior O'Toole, you say he pays child support for out of wedlock affair. SO? WTF. He's paying. Get a life.

The opp slate has gotten a bad rap over one member and that is par for the course in politics. Oh, bring back Betty Knox.

If there was any decency left in Hartford, and there isn't, btw, people would be throwing bricks and bottles in the streets over the rampant out of control car crashes taking place in ole Payton Place. Legs and bodies flying through the air. When decency died and no one heard. As our foolish little NRZs try to tranquilize the neighbors with good news as the community officers express how things are just swell these days.

The police officers showing up at monthly NRZ's meetings are nothing but a joke. For those guys everything is being investigated, everything is always under control.
Yeah, right.

Your statement may actually be accurate where the way some NRZ's are run is a joke, so the Police are played as pawns, but in an NRZ that is well run and productive, the exact opposite is true. I use the Maple Avenue NRZ as an example, attend one meeting and you will see the positive interaction between the Police and residents and a useful exchange of information that has driven very positive results from everything from positive tips for residents to prevent burglaries or car thefts to identifying and dealing with negative factors in a neighborhood, such as the shut down of Club Sexy on Maple Avenue which was dragging an entire neighborhood down. The police can only do so much, but positive relationships that may come out of an NRZ meeting can make all the difference between success and failure.

Kev, Unless you can create fathers and mothers in a Petri dish at these NRZ meetings ,,,I WOULD’NT BOTHER ATTENDING. Hartford should start discussing planned parenthood in kindergarten,,that might be the only way Hartford can stop the insanity of of a social service dependent capital city that “breeds” all this in civility .

Why don’t they hold NRZ meetings at the sub-station on the corner of New Britain Ave and Broad St ? At any given time there are at least 2 PATROL cars (why are they called “patrol cars” when they are PARKED for hours there) I’ve routinely seen upwards of 4 to 5 in the parking lot. Blinds drawn and door glass tinted black leads me to believe they don’t want the public to see what’s going on and definitely not looking like a place to drop in and discuss safety in the neighborhood,,kinda looks like a strip club from the 70’s ,,,Helton’s or Dealers Choice comes to mind. Maybe they’re doing paperwork from all those productive traffic stops? Let the chiefs handle the meetings,their basically politicians and are capable of telling people what they want to hear and get those “community “ officers out on the streets where they belong and outta the substations where they don’t belong.

Kev, WDRC’s Dan Lovallo and Brad Davis have done it again! They had Luke The Liar Bronin on again with his once a month nonsense visit! One caller asked “where have you been” in relation to vehicular homicide and operator recklessness in the capital city . Luke tells the caller that press conferences don’t achieve much ,that you need action! Does everybody remember Luke showing up at every candlelight vigil while campaigning and providing a statement to the media?? Shame on Dan Lovallo and Brad Davis for allowing him a undeserved soapbox to stand on. Dan Lovallo should have asked “if press conferences are not effective,,, WHY WAS HE AT ONE WITH DICK BLUMENTHAL LAST WEEK TO PREVENT A DEPORTATION OF A COUPLE THAT DOESNT EVEN LIVE IN HARTFORD!!!!! I HAVE COME TO DESPISE OUR “SPINELESS” MEDIA !!!!!

Baltimore legislation just passed a law.amd policy that will now make police officers pay out of their own pocket for lawsuits if it is proven they acted with malice in a police brutality case no longer will tax payers pick up the dime stay tuned folks because if this trend picks up across the nation you will see a mass exodus from law enforcement

That is a long overdue piece of legislation. It should be extended for politicians who push for and enact programs that are economically harmful to a city.

Mr . Brookman,Has Dan Lovallo invited you to be a monthly guest on WDRC for either a before or after visit by Lying Luke Bronin??? Lovallo stated on the air months ago that it would be a good idea when I suggested it and that he would reach out to you. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t entertain the offer , so that leads me to believe Lovallo never reached out to you.Too bad ,someone needs to hold Bronin accountable for his continued use of lies to the media. Why do they lay down to these menaces to society?

No departments pay if the officer acts with malice, because that falls out of the scope of duty. Most state laws specify that the department does not have to indemnify if the officer acted malicious. Connecticut law is actually more stringent because it says if the officers actions are willful and wanton then they won’t be indeminified.
