Kevin...The public and especially those folks in the 6th district who elected Robles should know about the total number of IAD investigations and what they were for.It is reasonable to believe that Robles,who was always considered a "political son of Eddie Perez" had the IAD investigations quashed, through his political godfather....please create an addendum outlining the IAD complaints for us as they would add great "context" to the present one.

Kevin, sometimes an arrest is not always the best option. The cops do not have to check with the States Attorney every time they do not arrest somebody. Descretion. Moreover, the states attorney has established a very clear track record about not wanting to make an arrest in this type of situation. (If a cop gets arrested, then beat the charge on a technicality or A.R., the cop will almost always keep their job) If it can be handled administratively, she wants it to remain in house. If it is handle administratively, it is easier to deal with the problem. Not to mention the costs involved both at the criminal trials and SBMA hearings. I understand your reasoning, but please consider there is a whole other Labor level and many many other factors to this. In some cases it is much better for the city to just get the resignation. Dryfe will do what is right, best and most importantly- fair. Once the case is closed, you'll get your IFile and the many sorted details of this guys shadiness. @Bruce: Not including this IFile, his previous IAD's are nothing too out of the ordinary. This new one is the one that matters and the one the the Rank and File are pissed at him about.

Dear Biscuit...in the search for the truth, there are no friend's or foe's.While "some" might look the other way or keep quiet for a friend,it is imperative to remember that those in public life owe a duty of "due regard" to the public who elected them before they owe a duty to a friend,while those in search of the truth owe their basic allegiance to the truth and to all those citizens who voted for someone in reliance on the public figure's public utterances.The truth has no friend or foe and it will always set you free.

I kind of feel saying someone is under investigation, but then coyly not saying what for, is worse than laying out all the facts. It invites the reader to fill in the blanks with their own imagination, and they may conjure up far worse things than the person actually did.

Dave...we only know what Kevin has said and what Robles has admitted.I suspect that the investigation report will come to a conclusion soon and will be made public,then we will know with greater specificity what Robles did or did not do.

I blame the democratic town committee, Wasn't Hector elected Under Former Town Chair (Sean Arena)Then dumped him for present town chair (Jean Holloway) Why are they not addressing this issue. What are they covering for Hector Robles? I understand this cover-up involves others that Hector is threatening to DISCUSS NAMES, if this does not go away.This could be 100's of thousands of Tax Payers dollars, that have been stolen through false time card activity, and Hectors flight time put in while he was suppose to be ACTUALLY working.Where is the VOTER OUTRAGE??

Mr Anonyomus...I grant you that the town committee is loaded with the corrupt,criminals,psycho's and incompetant's, but blame cannot be imputed to them about Hector's own short-comings.

In any event look what you have on the town committee...a chair who has a house in forclosure and a job in which there are conflicts with her role as chair.She is represented in the forclosure by Attorney Tom Page,1st district co spokesperson, who himself is being sued for personal and professional malpractice.Lou Watkins,the vice chair of the party is under active investigation for lickbacks from Diggs Construction.The Secretary,Angel Morales, of the party is a felon.The Treasurer of the party Jay Mullarkey gave money to the Federle for Governor campaign and makes believe that he is a democrat.

Then you have folks like DiBella,Kennelly,Carbone,Minnie,Ramon and others who have terrible political,moral and ethical baggage and some of the others on the town committee are unstable mentally and emotionally.

Hector grew up next door to Holloway and is certainly no better then the above if the investigation comes back negative toward him.

With folks like the above it is no wonder that the statewide campaigning democrats avoid Hartford like the plague.

I dont see where the 6th district town committee can be blamed for any alleged misdeeds of Hector Robles.If he did what you say he did..double-dip and fly planes when he was on the clock working, it is inconceivable to me that he told any of the town committee members what he was doing.The 6th district town committee cannot be blamed for something that they did not know.

I have heard that the 6th district spokes-person conveined a meeting with Hector this past Saturday in which he declared his innocense.Jan A certainly did her job correctly by calling the meeting when these allegations started to get public.

As to your other allegations...we will await the disclosure of the report and see.IF the report nails Hector for any double-dipping then he should be fired from his job and should resign from the town committee.Also, IF he did double-dip, he should be pressured to resign his legislative seat as state representative.But it is all conjecture until the report is public.One more thing here, I for one believe that Ms Peterson also has some explaining to do..but I will leave that for another time.
