I commented on this over at Jeff Cohen's blog (see below). It would seem to me that any violations of our ethics regs were inadvertent and technical. Is there a problem with federal regs? Who knows? But, again, whatever they may be, there's no evidence of what Roldan refers to as "violation of the public trust." I have no reason to think Roldan a stupid person, but he is surely making an ass of himself.
----------------------------------

A cynical attempt to promote himself by attacking an opponent. What possible motive could Segarra have had in concealing the fact that, like most landlords here, his partner rents to subsidized tenants? And, assuming there is a possible motive, what evidence is there that Segarra had it? It’s fine to ask questions, get facts; conclusions should be drawn prudently.
If Roldan disagrees with Segarra’s policies, would do something differently himself were he to be our Strongman, let’s hear about it. It’s not helpful to the City or its electorate to have a politician suggesting wrong-doing with no evidence. Admittedly, Pedro did something similar with respect to the School District bonus matter, but at least he was not angling for Adamowski’s job.

I've been saying it as soon as Segarra closed his legal office to be Mayor... He's nothing but a slicker version of Eddie Perez.

This might not be enough to force him to resign but lets not forget this come election time. You get the government you deserve and we deserve better.

Actually, no, Hartford doesn't deserve better. It has an electorate trapped in the 1950s, where if the mayor isn't your color or race, that must mean he won't do anything to benefit you. So all the Latinos vote for the Latino, the whites for the white guy, etc. Hartford voters have allowed their city to be run like a third-world nation, looted by crooks who then vanish or worse, get re-elected time and again. (Do you seriously believe in a city like Boston or NYC, Roldan would not have been crucified by the press by now??)

Hartford needs a rich guy to come in, buy up half the city, force the various cliques out, and gentrify the place for the city to have any future. Otherwise, in 20 years we will be reading "We the People Hartford Jr." with the same complaints being voiced.
