SEGRRA CAMPAIGN TRIES TO RIGHT THE SINKING SHIP

Sources close to the Segarra campaign are confirming that Segarra is making some changes to try to stabilize his faltering campaign for reelection. Segarra's current Chief of Staff, Meriden resident and Hartford renter Juan Figueroa will be taking a leave of absence to manage Segarra's campaign. Al Ilg will once again be recycled through Hartford City Hall as Segarra's acting Chief of Staff.

Segarra has apparently also realized that he has to do a much more effective job of managing his campaign message.He has hired  former area reporter Shelly Sindland to apparently be his campaigns' Communication's Director.

 It is yet to be seen if the voters of Hartford will make Figueroa's and Segarra's leave of absence permanent.

"Segarra realized that he has to do a much better job managing his campaign."

The People of Hartford:
"Segarra must realize first that he has to do much better job managing this city. However, after 5 years in office, it's now too late."

He must have had to promise Sindland the moon to get her to do this. What happened, did her unemployment run out?

Juan Figueroa, resident of Meriden. What a surprise. You see, Hartford residency is required when it fit someone like Terry Waller to become the only candidate.
As for the Chief of Staff, Figueroa, no requirements necessary as long as it works for him and for the corrupt caviar man.

Al Ilg going to be the next 'Thief of Staff'. How many 'Thieves of Staff' did Segarra have so far?

Is Juan Figueroa Segarra's Chief of Staff or Chief of 'Stuff'

I'm no doubt missing something. Why does a campaign for Mayor of Hartford, Connecticut require a manager? And, why does a candidate for that august position require a campaign fund to pay for said manager? How about the candidate come up with a comprehensive mission statement like Judge Killian, maybe cook up a website, maybe make a few strategically located speeches?

As I told you when we met, I believe the city is headed for
a disaster. Most amazingly, I don’t see much evidence that the current city
leadership is aware of our downward trajectory. We’re broke but continue to
spend millions on pretty but useless projects that are unrelated to the real
needs of the people who live here.

Google Juan Figueroa and the people's weekly world..a Communist newspaper and you will see his name at some events...including winning an award from them.

exactly which party does Mr Figueroa have a greater alligence to?

Remember New Year's Eve dinner for 8 people at Max Downtown? Remember the caviar, rack of lamb and oysters they enjoyed? Remember it was all charged to the city - issued credit card?
Now it looks like Segarra later reimbursed the city for the meal. It sounds like Segarra voluntarily came and paid for the meal. The truth is Segarra got caught first, by Brookman, then, only after being embarrassed, he reimbursed the city for the meal.
Segarra always get caught first, then he apologizes, establishes task force, promises this and that will never happen again. That's the Segarra way.

"Mayor Segarra cares deeply about Hartford and his leadership is bringing solid results," Figueroa said in a statement.
Who exactly is this Figueroa kidding? Segarra does his 'things' in the dark, behind closed doors. His stupid stadium will cost us, residents of Hartford, a fortune (our taxes are already crazy high) for the next 25-26 years. Segarra's vision is a vision of no leadership and lots of corruption, from SKB and Terry Waller, to Kupiek, Panagore, Hilda Munoz, Deller the Seller, even a dead firefighter that should have NEVER happened. THESE are Segarra's "results".
Figueroa, enjoy your next caviar meal with Segarra, make sure one of you pays the bill with your own credit card. Shameless jerks!

"Solid Results" of Corruption and lies. That's what Segarra is bringing. Make sure you add financial collapse to his "Solid Results."

Shelly Sindland, director of communications for Pedro's campaign, said a new campaign manager could be announced next week. "We are rebuilding a campaign team." Sindland said.

Sindland added: "The mayor was looking to build a team with deep roots and connections with the city."

No kidding Sindland, so hiring the other campaign managers was an error or just stupidity. Beckendorf has lots of roots and connections with Hartford: he's in DC, working on campaigns in Texas and Oregon, or maybe his dealings with mushrooms gets him connected to Hartford.
Yo, Segarra/Caviar, you and your campaign manager and your director of crap communications are all baloney. So many people already asked enough already.

What does Segarra need all these people for his campaign? Figueroa is his 3rd campaign manager, he has a director of communications and bunch of others. Why doesn't he run on his record only? His accomplishments?
Oh, I see, no accomplishments at all and his record is rich with corruption and more corruption. Nonstop corruption.

I'd like to know who's paying for all his managers, directors, advisers in this campaign, where is all the money coming from.

KEVIN BROOKMAN said...

as part of the campaign, Segarra has to pay for his own staff, unlike when Figueroa was doing campaign work out of the Mayor's Office for the past year, lobbying Town Committee members and others trying to gain support for Pedro. Apparently that never worked out well

Ask Segarra about the bonus payments to all the dpw workers for there great job cleaning the city streets.

Pedro Segarra has got to be very scared that he is going to lose. He is getting crazy. Every move he makes is a step off another cliff. At this point Pedro has most people laughing. Pedro is getting extremely nutty and bitter. Wake up Pedro, know matter who you hire you will never beat Judge Bob Killian or Like Bronin.

Here comes the Hartford clowns Pedro Segarra and Juan Figueroa. Of course they have to take after Saundra Kee Borges the queen of Hartford clowns. Pedro is desparate to put a working team together. It will never happen. Pedro has many to many, many government mistakes. Please move on Pedro because the Hartford voters are going to fire you.

Segarra's accomplishments? NONE.
Segarra's failures? PLENTY.

Well you and the Feds must watch this, because Pedro isn't raising money like he wants... and for Figueroa to give up
140, 000 or more salary to steer the sinking ship for Nene is nonsensical. Is Pedro going to match his salary? Is Pedro running for Mayor or President? Is Charlie O paying Figueroa, so his dude, Captain of the sinking ship can can keep his job and Charlie O can keep his power?
The money from the city will get to Figueroa and the rest of the Sinking Ship Crew someway, somehow, you can believe that.

Don't you call Saundra Kee Borges "Queen of Clowns" because she is not. Saundra is simply a crook and a thief.

Some of Pedro's political peoples are meeting out of state with a national democrat political, As--saver out of state.

Peligro. On Prospect Street- The Ice Cream is not gelling...

Hopefully Pedro's out of state people can get a copy of WFSB Face The State with Dennis House. According to Robert Killian Pedro is a bad, bad, bad mayor.

Actually what Killian meant - politely - is that Pedro is an idiot!

Segarra's campaign is sinking, morally speaking. Problem is Hartford is also sinking, morally and financially speaking.

Pedro is no idiot, he's a big manipulator and a big liar. With his advisers' recommendations, Charlie O. included, he does what they tell him to do, which is anything that will benefit himself and them.

Anonymous said...

The people running and controling this city are Charlie Ortiz and Saundra Kee-Borges, yes, SKB from outside. Pedro is just their puppet, he does what they order him to do.

I can't wait for a mayoral televised debate with Luke Bronin, Robert Killian and Pedro Caviar, if he doesn't quit the race by then.
