Excellent script. However, (Hartford 2000) was it Linda Bayer preparing it? If so some young Hartford resident can do this job Bayer has been around to long.

I'll not attend tonight city council meeting because of earlier commitment, but I'd like all 9 members to know that we'll be watching them.

Kevin,Explain why CREC needs $300,000 to solicit MORE Hartford residents in the fire and police dept???? The fire dept has a MANDATORY CITY OF HARTFORD RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT ALREADY !!! And check this out, police cadets have to be Hartford residents,,,,they receive pay,benefits,get automatically enrolled in the next class when they become of age and their time goes towards retirement!!! THESE IDIOTS NEED TO "ENHANCE" THEIR RECRUITMENT OF HARTFORD RESIDENTS INTO PUBLIC SAFETY WITH $300,000 ????? KEVIN,PLEASE EXPLAIN AND JUSTIFY THIS NUTTY PROPOSAL!

What was Linda Bayer doing in tonight's city council hearing? What is this woman still doing in this administration? Who's stupid enough to keep her running around city hall? Don't you understand she belongs to the Segarra ruling and mismanagement

Like the song goes "You can't always get what you want". Be patient, all of the change can not take place at once, some of it must be incremental to maintain some sort of stability at City Hall ( not that Linda Bayer has added to any stability there) I am very encouraged by the changes I have seen so far for the most part and hopefully you will be gratified soon.

You and numerous other commenters have made your opinions clear

So was Colon and Bronin kept this conniving, lying, gift of gab Napoleon, Segarra's right hand hack around Bronin is not what voters expected. He has started off with questionable and political decisions, married couple, what a leader! ONE TERM LUKE, ONE TERM.

The only thing on my mind about Hartford these days is the elephant in the room or the Frankenstein monster mistake created by the halfwit nitwit former Mayor Segarra. Honestly, I would rather have had that little petty criminal Eddie Perez (see YouTube search "Mayor Eddie Perez" - another of my songs, pilfering off a city contractor to get his toilet and counter top repaired for free instead of the massive financial blunder that this recent madman mayor achieved. This one stroke of fiscal irresponsibility may ultimately bankrupt Hartford. Oh, you say, it couldn't happen here? Search out "Compton, California" and get back to me. That city kept building edifices until it couldn't afford the debt. The only interests that supported Segarra were those who had direct financial gains to be made on the concept that was doomed from the beginning. It is time for a charter revision twiking that will makes these kinds of huge financial commitments an automatic referendum.

The best alternative is to cut this monster off at the head. It will never create the intended development and hence, be a lead-weighed expense for the city. In fact, downtown was already a hot area for development and eventually this land would have been scooped up and developed - free of municipal indulgence. This will be an annual-added debt during budget season. We never have enough to meet expenses. We sell off assets to cover for one more year. Now we will have this ball and chain around our financial necks for at least 25 years. Personally the first hint of a tax increase, and I will sell my home and get the hell out of this quicksand-sinking city.

I sang my song at the council meeting Monday night. And I will be singing it again at any meeting on this boondoggle of a stadium development until they drag me out. And then I'll sing it outside in the snow or rain. I'll sing it with my cloths on and I will sing it naked. I will sing it on opening day and I'll sing it on closing day. And I encourage you all to sing it too. Sing it on a bus. Sing it on the street. Sing it in the mirror. And sing it to the mayor. And sing it in three-part harmony.

Dunkin Donuts Stadium, my advice just don't go in
You can watch baseball in local parks, Kenney, Pope and Goodwin
But if you leave home to watch the Goats, don't forget Imodium
Dunkin Donuts Stadium, my advice just don't go in

The toilets won't be flush-able, they may not even spin
They may not all be flush-able, then again not even spin
Centerplan hasn't thought this out | how all the shit would fly
But the toilets won't be flush-able, might even make you cry

Poor Pedro thought he had a good idea | one absent-minded day
He thought to spend some city cash, Hartford could not ever repay
Fifty Six million down the hole, for 25 more years
Poor Pedro thought he had a good idea | one absent-minded day

If you bought a pass to see the Hartford Goats | be sure to put your raincoat on
If you bought a pass to see the Hartford Goats | be sure to put your raincoat on
The grandstand roof will not be built, DoNo Hartford has taken note
One more doozy for the ex-mayor, with his council boys in tow

Dunkin Donuts Stadium, my advice just don't go in
You can watch baseball in local parks; Kenney, Pope and Goodwin
But if you leave home with your kids, don't forget Imodium
Dunkin Donuts Stadium, my advice just don't go in
