The chairman of the Hartford Stadium Authority, I. Charles Matthews, must realize that his run is about to end once the Stadium opens it doors.
Word is that I. Charles Matthews is now ready to undertake a new endeavor to keep his name out in the political favor arena. Several Hartford political insiders have apparently received invitations from I. Charles to a political fundraiser he has been organizing for a Governor's Office candidate hopeful Daniel Drew, Middletown's Mayor. ( my invitation must still be somewhere in the mail)
It is interesting though to many insiders that I. Charles has taken this step so early, especially since Governor Malloy has not announced his intentions for re-election yet. It is also interesting that Matthews , who remained chairman of the Stadium Authority under the Bronin Administration would make this move without the blessing of Bronin or Hartford's Democratic leadership.
Unless something has changed, Bronin has had very close ties to the Malloy Administration and this move seems odd to many observers, especially if Governor Malloy should try for a third term. But, as the saying goes, politics makes strange bedfellows.
Hopefully I Charles has been able to line up Pedro Segarra to throw out the first pitch for the Yardgoats home opener in April as we were promised. Maybe he can plan a fundraiser for Dan Drew if the City of Hartford's luxury sky box at the Stadium, I'm sure Ken Kennedy and Shawn Wooden will donate.

ReplyDeleteSo either I Charles Matthews has gone rogue or Bronin is having second thoughts about his allegiance to his buddy Dan Malloy I find it hard to believe Matthew would make that move without the permission of Bronin and the diBella's
ReplyDeleteOr, more likely, he has the blessing of Bronin, the Dibellas, and Malloy because Malloy has told his cronies (if not the public) that he's not going to run again. Matthews has been at the trough too long to make a move that might upset the apple cart.
ReplyDeleteDan Drew is an idiot. While he was supposed to be running Middletown, he disguised his calendar and was at Columbia University. He is in love with himself and will step on you to move up the ladder. He and I Charles are 2 peas in a pod and deserve each other.
