Segarra is no different than the street level thugs that plague his City, a common criminal stealing the future of Hartford's people. Why is it that Killian has a reasonable idea and Segarra's solution is just more money.
PEDRO NEEDS TO GO.

You can just feel the difference in the education/respect/thought process between Mr. Wareing and Hizhonor by reading those emails.

Start lay offs. The fire department is heavy isn't that why they went to the 24 hour straight time shift. When a guy retires they rehire.

the Board of Education retirees health Care Fund
--------------
The Board of Ed is a State outfit. It is funded in part by muni taxes, but that only serves to hide the ball of accountability. The Board operates what has been ruled to be an unconstitutionally segregated system. Test fraud was discovered at Betances School, and nothing was done or said by the Board. The kids get whatever the monopoly Board says they get, but don't mess with the "retiree health care fund."

Peter,

whatever you think about the Board they at least used some proper management and had some vision to establish the reserve fund. Should Segarra now be able to raid it since he has no vision and no management skills?

Should Segarra now be able to raid it...?
-------------
It's my understanding that the State forces the muni guys to foot the bill for about half of the Board's budget. It's also my understanding that the muni guys have no, zero, nada and not any say in how the money is spent. Can the muni government find out about the fraud at Betances? I don't think so. That the Board has to deal with public sector unions, that the unions now have a big part in how the schools are run, and that the souls of the kids are disregarded is State policy.
I carry no brief for Pedro or his management skills. But, if it were up to me I'd do away with the District and the Board; give every kid a voucher.

Peter,

check the City Charter, who appoints the majority of the members of the Board of Education... Mayor Segarra. I think that essentially gives him control of the Board if he knows how to appoint and use that power

Quintessential Rich Wareing. He writes exactly as he speaks. I can even "hear" his tonal inflections in his writing! I only hope the legal opinion obtained by the BOE is better than the legal pablum fed to the City Council re: the Registrar actions. Someone should obtain the meeting video of Shawn Wooden assuring everyone how fantastic the legal advice was and why they were moving forward. Regurgitating. Kudos to the judge.
Thanks for your coverage, Kevin, and for posting Rich's email. Helps fill in the gaps of other media outlets and further puts the Feds and state auditors on notice re: Hartford City Hall.

Dear Mr. Wareing: you are totally disrespectful to our 'mayor.' What did Segarra do? He just cheated you and the BOE by a few millions of dollars. No big deal, after all this is election year and Segarra must pretend he's proposing a 'balanced' budget.
You also interrupted Segarra late night while he's busy trying very hard the get the necessary funds for that Yard Rats ballpark (you must agree that a stadium with a luxury suite is way more important than, what do you call this, education?).
Please change your tone and approach. Pedro demands some respect.

check the City Charter, who appoints the majority
-------------
No question; school boards are chosen locally, but they are agents of the State. The point is not that there is not local influence on District doings, but fundamental decisions, spending levels for example, are made according to State law and regs. The City Council can't tell the Board how much to spend, nor can it refuse to raise (property) tax revenue as demanded by the District. Similarly, the municipal government has nothing to say about curriculum or special education.
--------------
School boards derive their power and authority from the State Constitution and the statutes of the State of Connecticut. Accordingly, a local school boards acts as an agent of the state government with all the authority and limitations imposed by the General Assembly and the state constitution.

"Concerns have been raised about Segarra's plan to use $32 millions that is currently in a Board of Education reserve... to balance his budget." Segarra works like a thief at night, like a rat, and then he has the guts to tell Rich that he's not respectful enough.
The looter is asking for respect, that's new.

He is a little, little man with a big, big ego and problems, mental ones!!!# plain & simple; he's a crook, a liar, a cheat, a IDIOTIC FOOL! Oh yeah he's a PERVERT to boot.

Mayor or Mayoral is what he is NOT!

It's not only the $32 million from BOE that's wrong here. The entire budget is baloney. Where are all the expenses for that idiotic ballpark.
Everything going to be all right as long as Pedro E. Segarra (E. for Excellency) gets his 24 seat luxury box.

Kevin, please stop bothering Pedro with some nonsense city balance even if it's all fraud. These days Pedro is ultra occupied with financing the stadium for the Yard Rats with money the city don't have.

It's not the Yard Rats stadium folks, it's the luxury box. It's clearly more important than some fire department or education.

Some lies on the budget here, some manipulations on the budget there, the budget just need to look good, it has to impress city council and the media, they don't look at the details, they simply don't understand it.

C'mon, more important to hear Pedrito talking about Aaron Hernandez than anything in Hartford, especially when there's a problem.

This mayor is too busy with his reelection campaign (he'll do anything to get reelected) and getting money that nobody have for his Yard Rats ballpark (the Rock in Rock Cats was renamed Yard and the Cats was renamed Rats)

Someone - a punk - smashed windows in banks, businesses, even the Mark Twain House, but no word from the mayor.

Sorry, Mark Twain House is not the Yard Rats Stadium, no value, no interest in that house.

I agree 100% with the name. This minor league baseball was stolen from our good neighbor New Britain. Segarra and Deller did it like thieves at night, just like Rats.
Therefore the correct new name should be changed to
HARTFORD YARD RATS.

Hartford North End infested with drugs. Entire City of Hartford infested with Rats. It's appropriate to use the name HARTFORD RATS or HARTFORD YARD RATS for that stadium.

The vandalism spree occurred on Farmington Ave, not on the 7xx Prospect Ave block, so the mayor has nothing to say.

Segarra was at the "Volunteers Repair Homes" earlier today. Instead of tools or repair kits he showed up with his PR people, nicely equipped with cameras of course.
Kevin, could you ask him what exactly he repaired today, unkess the whole thing was just a photo op for him.

It is all part of the show for an election year, now he cares about the community. I think we all know what Segarra is about and it is not the neediest of Hartford's residents. Smarten up Hartford, judge him on what he has done, not the show he is putting on

I saw it this morning on Ch.3. Scot Haney, the weatherman gave Segarra some free airtime. I think Segarra told Haney something idiotic about getting more tax $$ for the renovated properties or something like that, not sure.
Could Scot Haney write his comment here to clarify what Segarra told him so we make sure it's correct.

Someone has to tell the folks at BOE the the multi million dollars ballpark must be paid somehow, so if Pedro can loot the education budget that's exactly what he's going to do. Honestly, he never expected Wareing to notice this theft
