The strategic mission of the Metro Hartford Innovation Services (MHIS) is to provide leadership, coordination, and support for the information technology and communication needs of the City of Hartford, the Hartford Public Schools, and the Hartford Public Libraries.

The "strategic mission" of the Innovation Services outfit may be nonsense, but in any case would seem to have a good bit of overlap with the Office of Communications, etc. The latter outfit doesn't communicate at its website exactly what its "strategic mission" is. Maybe it exists only to receive leadership, coordination, and support from the Innovation guys.
Peter, that was the funniest thing that could be said on these blogs about Hartford.
No layoffs for HFD? Maybe that's because we are already understaffed and 50 members have put in their request to retire before June 11th and that number will most likely double in the next 2 weeks. Bronin's scare tactic is working. The proposal he made to the union is ridiculous. He can't really expect to add an average of 14 extra hours to a persons work week and not pay them for that work. It didn't work in Providence and it won't work here. Bronin is knowingly putting the safety of the Hartford residents and firefighters at risk. Kevin, please look into this before it is to late.
Bronin is not a very good mayor for Hartford. This must be his only term
