Pedro has no use for the cops, other than as a chauffeur

if the budget is legit and makes sense, why lash out at Deutsch.

This budget is probably as legit as the 3 million in Union concessions he built into last years budget, How was that hole closed?

Segerra wrong to mud wrestle with Duetsch. Very unbecoming. But Duetsch egged him on. Cmon can he be that dumb? Where does Duetsch think money comes from? I'm a good liberal myself but gee Duetsch is a nut bag. Nothing wrong with seeking concessions from employees or selling tax leins to raise revenue. The generous pensions and benefits especially for the sacred cow public safety employees can't be sustained.

Here's another quote for the good people of Hartford... Fool us once, shame on you, Fool us twice shame on us!!! Get this FOOL out now, we can't support his childish ways any longer.

Segarra will never escape the P-card, caviar, and city car fiasco. When he decided to set that tone for city government, concessions became impossible. Why should front-line workers give back a penny to fund luxuries for Pedro and his friends? Every day he stays in office is another lost opportunity to right the ship.

Kevin,
Your words, "Mayor, most people are beginning to agree the fool is YOU. You are not a man of your word, you can not be trusted and as more layers of the Segarra onion are peeled back, you will be exposed for what you are....", are unfortunately shared by many. But we've been too quiet for too long. Thanks for having the courage to publish them. Between you and the Audit Commission as now led by Bruce Rubinstein, the real stories and facts are finally being told. That Commission and its auditors are the only aspect of Charter change that is working and providing a REAL check and balance for the City. While I was very appreciative that the Mayor hired Al Ilg to get us out of our managerial and fiscal mess, that's about the only positive he's accomplished recently. Time for the rest of us "fools" to also take action. Again, thanks for speaking up and starting the charge.

Absolutely right. But, Deutsch is a WFP guy. Its (primary)interest is not in the municipality's corporate or fiscal integrity, but in union workers and the beneficiaries of government largess. The Mayor is the CEO, the City is a Big Corporation, and public sector unions stand up against the oppression of the workers by the stockholders (i.e., the taxpayers).
------------
We’re fighting for a world where the economy works for everyone. One where politicians are held accountable to regular people, instead of big-money backers, lobbyists and huge corporations.

Call him what you want, but right now Dr. Deutsch is about all we have at City Hall raising questions and standing up. The other mutes just sit and watch unless the media is there for them to grandstand to.

For a person who has a LAW DEGREE the Mayor has much to be desired. He not only makes HARTFORD look stupid but the characters that surround him (cabinet) and a Ms Linda Bayer are a real JOKE. That silly face of his is all smiles when he marches in a parade or gives out a reward, but other than that he will lash out if he dose not agree with you. He can not take the heat and the Hartford community knows it. Resign Mr Pedro and take all your characters with you. A child could put a budget in place better than you.

Move on Mr Mayor you make Hartford look real bad. Go get a job that will pay you minimum wage. That is about what you are worth. Get out of city hall now.

Peter Brush: name calling is childish. I expected a lot more from you and Pedro but I guess I was wrong.

I carry no brief for Segarra. I'm opposed to knee-jerk demands that there be no lay-offs or cuts, as if there were some rich fat cats here in town that the Working Family SEIU Party can tax some more. To quote the anonymous "good liberal" above, where does Deutsche thin the money comes from?

Peter,

I am glad Larry is questioning this budget. CAn you say that Pedro or anyone at City Hall is fiscally responsible?

The recklessness needs to stop

Well, I don't pay close enough attention to the entire lineup of officials in charge, but, nobody is prominently responsible. But, Deutsch is not complaining about fiscal recklessness, he's complaining that lay-offs and cuts should be off the table. In general terms the WFP is as a matter of philosophy opposed to taxpayers. Maybe some residents and businesses think they don't pay enough taxes, but all other things equal higher taxes drive people and business out over the long haul.

At this point everything needs to be on the table, including layoffs. The city needs to right size it's organization in response to reality of revenues. Of course when you hear pension obligations of 47m one wonders what did they think would happen when you continued to give out lush pension packages. They should have seen that coming and made changes long ago to curb this as did most other organizations. But not for Hartford. So we here the mayor trying to do that now but where have you been? its a little to late. No foresight here. What happens when the rest of the benefits given to retirees start being called in? Those costs will continue to skyrocket out of control so the only thing left in the budget is payments to retirees who don't even reside in the city or pay taxes here. The problems are significant and the city is heading into deeper waters with no lifeboat. This is a long term issue and each year only simple bandaid approaches.

I agree Kevin. Councilman WFP Dr Deutsch is the only one who asks the tough questions. He has been an advocate for taxpayers since the day he became a Councilman. Go get them Dr. Larry.....

The Mayor is two faced. He says one thing and dose another. He is reckless and a lose cannon ready to explode. Hartford gets deeper and deeper into a crisis and he is 100%
the cause. The Hartford residents should put the Mayor, cabinet and Charlie in a sailboat and let them float away. Get real Pedro,you should resign.

Deutsch appears to me as an honest fellow, but one can't advocate for public sector unions and the taxpayers simultaneously. Not that our municipal guys can get rid of the unions foisted on us by the State, but we don't have to be enthusiastic about them or look out for their interests. Those interests are by definition opposed to the employer's (i.e., the City's).

I beg to differ, look at the salaries and benefits for non-union employees vs union employees. Look at sick time cash out, pension multiplier, pension contributions, insurance contributions, you will see who the gsngsters are Councilman Deutsch fights for the union workers that aversge salary is 40,000 not 150,000 dollars. This is all public information request it, you may have a change of heart. Not to mention the 10 or more members of Pedto's gang that are getting all those benefits, salaries and a pension at the same time! So Deutsch is advocating on behalf of the struggling working families of Hartford, because the low end jobs are the only ones Pedro seems to be able to enforce residency!
