I attended the latest comedy event held in the Council Chambers today. I don't know, but I just find it highly laughable to see a Mayor arrested twice on numerous felony charges talking about his crime fighting abilities. Does he even consider his own credibility and wonder how people can take him seriously when he may be facing some serious prison time in a few months?
After having the police called on me last week at City Hall when I asked the Democratic Registrar for public documents, I tried to keep a low profile today.
It took every ounce of my willpower though to not shout out a question for the Mayor.
"Mr. Mayor, do your arrests and the arrest of Councilperson Airey-Wilson and others figure into the City's crime statistics or does the state have to claim those?"

According to The Professor crime is always down. Anyone who's taken a statistics course learns day one numbers can be manipulated. Ask any accountant. Only a fool would believe anything from Eddie's mouth. Three more months Professor and it's off to jail.

I prefer a non bias look at crime stats. This is the congressional quarterly review done by an independent company using FBI stats. Hartford ranks 24 out of nearly the top 400 cities beating out many major large cities for having the worse crime in America. Spin that. http://os.cqpress.com/citycrime/2009/CityCrimeRankings2009.htm
