The likely necessity one needs to be on the Council is to be a crook,corrupt,an enabler or an incompetant.I wouldnt let my wallet near any of the Council,with the exception of Dr Deutsch.The 3 leading name for Ritter's seat are terrible and so are the new floated names...all are bad....ditto the republican names.Hartford is getting the representation that it deserves.

rJo doesn't have 4 votes for Sean Arena or for Corey Brinson. Getting beaten in your own district so badly has consequences.

As for Dr. Deutsch, he is honest, no doubt, but you'd be crazy to leave your wallet anywhere near him because any $$ in there will be spent and any credit cards will be maxed out on more wasteful spending.

Whoever was the next highest Republican vote getter in the last election should be appointed to Veronica Airey-Wilson' seat.

I think they should have an emergency election. Get the 300-400 voters who come out for the council elections and let them decide. Or maybe we can check to see if there is someone out of prison on work release that would do it.

The Hartford city council as a body is corrupt. There should be a special election like in other cities (ie. Boston, Detroit, etc.)

Amend the charter to let the voters decide.

Then in November 2011, vote them all out.

George, you're a dummy. You talk like a dummy and you think like a dummy.

A special election for the whole body? Think about it for a second. How is the whole body corrupt?

The only thing that will happen once you get your special election is that you will have 9 more people to blame for your dumbness. Do us all a favor and move to Boston or Detroit.

George isnt far wrong...most on the Council are corrupt and some stuff of Mayor Segarra will be in the newspaper very soon.

-----------------------------------
Don't know if George is right that we ought to have a special election, but it is noteworthy that our mechanism for replacing council differs from Beantown's. I would also express discomfort with the Hartford mechanism on general democratic grounds, but of course, if democracy were the priority we'd not have any non-Dems servicing the public. It is a weird situation where the Dem council gets to approve a Republican replacement for our departing RINO.pb
-----------------------------------
A day after the City Council voted to oust Chuck Turner from office because of his bribery conviction, a number of names have surfaced as potential candidates to replace the long-serving city councilor from Roxbury...
A special election to replace Turner must be held within 120 days of the councilor’s departure from office. Turner’s expulsion takes effect today.

Anonymous,

I've been to both Boston and Detroit, and those city governments are better run than Hartford's.

I will continue to fight for change in this area, so I'm not going anywhere.

When I said that there should be a special election, I meant it in terms of replacing an individual council member that leaves or resigns.

Not a special election for the entire body, idiot.

--------------------------------

Peter Brush:

I noticed the council up in Boston seems to have enough integrity to come together and vote Chuck Turner out because of his bribery conviction.

Something you will never ever see in Hartford government.

Don't know about Detroit, but apparently the council critters in Beantown are paid almost $90,000. But, my opinion is unchanged; Boston a much nicer city than either Htfd. or Detroit, and it has virtually nothing to do with governance. But, although the Boston council expulsion was the first ever it shows some moxie our council lacks. Heck, I'd have been grateful for a simple official acknowledgment that Veronica had been a bad girl.

What difference does it make to Winch that Arena didn't pay taxes in Hartford. She had her vehicle registered in Texas when she was running for Council in 2003. It has a CT plate now but who knows what City it is registeed in? New Canaan or Texas what difference does it make if you are doing the wrong thing.
