THE BRONIN SCAM CONTINUES

Some people run for political office to serve the public, others run to achieve their political goals and aspirations on the backs of the people they are supposed to serve.
Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin is the latter, or should I say "ladder" as in the next rung on his political ladder. I would fully expect the sense of entitlement and the arrogance of the Bronin's they see themselves in the White House someday (Hey, we all know now that crazy things can happen there)
The term "lying Luke" has started making the rounds on social media. I have been reluctant to start using it because I think we still have to show some respect for the Office, even if we don't respect the person in it. ( I am starting to sense a theme here).
But enough is enough, so lets talk about Lying Luke. Where do I begin. Let me start with Lying Lukes performance at HPD's Public Compstat Thursday night. In full campaign mode . Lying Luke stood up and professed his love and admiration for the men and women of the Hartford Police Department. I was waiting for someone who knew better to stand up and start handing out barf bags to everyone there who knew the truth..
This is the same Mayor who has allowed the numbers of Officers at HPD to drop to dangerously low levels. The same Mayor who refused to indemnify Hartford Police Officers sued over their good faith efforts in the performance of their duties. The same Mayor who has repeatedly refused the requests of Hartford's Police Chief for necessary promotions if Sergeants and Detectives, even just to keep pace with retirements and attrition.
And while I'm on the subject of crime, does anyone remember during the Mayoral campaign Lying Luke making the rounds to shooting victims and the families of Homicide victims with the TV cameras in tow? Did that sympathy end after the election or do we only show compassion when it means votes from the gullible?

I have my own issues with Lying Luke, but I won't rehash them all, but you can read it here.https://wethepeoplehartford.blogspot.com/2017/05/mayor-bronin-you-cant-handle-truth.html
Ok, now let me ask a couple more questions. In all seriousness, do you know where you live?  Do you know where you pay your car taxes? Have you ever had to lie about where you live or set up a phony job because you couldn't get a job anywhere else without lying about your place of residence?
Apparently that residency integrity is an issue with Lying Luke and the "good" people he has chosen to surround himself with.
It started with Hartford's, now former, Economic Development Director Sean Fitzpatrick. I first raised the question and began looking into his claims of residency, which eventually turned out to be bogus. Once Fitzpatrick realized the game was up he resigned before the Internal Audit Commission had the chance to fully expose his "alleged" fraud. You can read the full story here  https://wethepeoplehartford.blogspot.com/2017/12/hartfords-economic-development-and.html
How much time do you think Lying Luke spent socializing with his Economic Development Director sitting in Room 6 at the Town and County Club, the location Fitzpatrick claimed as his "residence". I would venture to say the Bronin's probably spent more time with the Fitzpatrick's at their Simsbury home than they did in Room 6.

I find it inconceivable that Lying Luke is unaware  as to where his key people actually live. Fitzpatrick is not the only questionable person  possibly perpetrating frauds on the taxpayers of Hartford.

Take for example Bronin's Chief of Staff , Chief Operating Officer and interim Finance Director and who knows what else, Thea Montanez. (Bronin isn't big on staff retention)
In September of 2016, Montanez signed the "affirmation of Residency " Form required by the City. Montanez signed the form that she was a Hartford resident and that her cars were registered, and therefore taxed in the City of Hartford. Apparently Montanez forgot to tell anyone else, including the Town of Bloomfield as well as the Hartford Tax Collector. As recently as July 29th , of 2017 Montanez was still paying her motor vehicle taxers in her town of residence, Bloomfield Connecticut, listed to her residence at 27 Norman Drive, Bloomfield, as evidence by the documents below.
And Montanez and Fitzpatrick aren't the only 2  allegedly engaging in the game of deception , I will be posting more documents and proof over the next couple days. It seems hard to comprehend that someone that wishes to be Governor would be so clueless as to what is going on around him or is it more likely that he was well aware and just condoned the frauds. Only Lying Luke will know, or just maybe we all will know eventually as more comes out.

UPDATE: I just received a call from Thea Montanez informing me that she was getting calls about this post. Thea claims it was a glitch with DMV that didn't transfer her taxes over from Bloomfield to Hartford. I informed her that I had been advised that she was in the Tax Office at City Hall Wednesday trying to change her taxes to Hartford, she admitted that was true and she also stated that she did pay her taxes in Bloomfield as I posted. I agree mistakes can happen and Thea has said she will send me confirming documents, Out of fairness, I will post those when I receive them. I also stated that she has been in City Hall for two years already and it is just being addressed now. While typing this I just received a text message showing that she has actually started paying her taxes in Hartford as of 1/11/2018



And so not to keep you in suspense, here is a hint as to who is next.

Liar Luke's Chief of Staff Thea Montanez signed September 16, 2016 that her car was registered in the City of Hartford. However, according to Hartford records Thea car was registered January 11, 2018. Lier Thea should be immediately let go by Bronin.

Anonymous said...

On September 16, 2016 Chief of Staff Thea Montanez lied when she signed the document that stated her car was registered in Hartford. She must think she is above the law. Not until January 11, 2018 was her car registered in Hartford's Tax Office. A lie is a lie. She should be fined and fired for signing a document that was fraud.

The issue is that there are no consequences for any of these folks yet if it were any others there would be charges and monies paid back that were paid out on the basis of the fraud. Additionally for the mayor to know this and not be held to any accountability and think it is ok to be running for governor speaks volumes..

I wonder what tone the Courant will offer her whereas she served on their Editorial Board during 2014. Maybe she’s one of his Courant connections which ensure the lukewarm posture towards his Administrations’ malfeascence....

Especially the ones being paid on MY DIME !

Anonymous said...

Interesting, 6:20. I have never understood why Luke has continued to get a pass by the Courant - isn't there any editorial integrity anymore? Maybe Thea's connections are part of the answer.

My understanding is, and has always been, she lives in Bloomfield which was confirmed by one of her relatives a year or so ago.

The fact that Bronin has hired so many people to run Hartford that don't believe in the City enough to live here, or move here, speaks volumes.

Why can't Hartford elect an honest government? So embarrassing.

More "SCANDLE" at Hartford City Hall. Mayor Luke Bronin's Zero Tolerance is a joke. Councilman TJ Clarke and Coucilwoman Rjo Winch's aide Kelly Kirley Bey are accused of sexual harassment. Throughout the USA this is cause of termination. But not in Hartford city hall. Court of Common Council are weak and not leaders. Members of Bronin's administration Sean Fitzgerald and Thea Montanez are liars. Both have caused fraud. Bronin should have terminated them immediately. Fitzgerald and Montanez were and are key players in Bronin's cabinet. What else Liar Bronin are you hiding??

Failing Courant said...

Luke gets a pass from that liberal left wing rag paper the courant because Luke is one of them, a failing liberal dem. The courant supports that and what Luke stands for. The courant is Hartford’s version of a local CNN. The courant definitely is the winner of the CT fake news award.

Lying Thea said...

I appreciate Thea's attempt to cover her tracks, but even her explanation stinks. If nothing else, it shows her inefficiency that it took her almost two years to correct a clerical error. Even more interesting is that only after she probably heard Kevin was nosing around, did she finally walk into the Tax Office and have them generate a tax bill for her, as Kevin posted ,on January 11, 2018. A full 2 years after she started collecting a City paycheck, knowing full well the rules for her employment. I would think MHIS could settle this by tracking the IP address Montanez and others use for remote access on their City laptops and Ipads and where do their cellphones ping at night. If Lying Luke is even remotely interested in the truth he will demand this info, but I doubt he will

Alyssa said...

I've got a different take on this and will present it to the Internal Audit Commission. Howard Rifkin, Sean Fitzpatrick, Thea Montenez and Melissa McCaw, are all VERY bright, hard-working and talented people. They would not have gotten the green light to come up with addresses and leases if not for some legal determination as to what constitutes Hartford residency from the outset. THAT is the smoking gun. There is a bigger story and a bigger FISH to catch, i.e. who cooked up the residency plan on the transition team? Because those executed affidavits and now 1-2 years later of not living at those sworn addresses has caused a high caliber professional or two to possibly commit fraud, in order to draw a salary. They were given bad advice.

Get rid of the residency requirement but for a few department heads where it is critical they live here in case of emergency [HPD, HFD, DPW, DPH]. Then Hartford can recruit the best and brightest and MOST capable, no matter where they live.

Anonymous said...

You cannot build a city up, based on LIES people!
Thea Montanez lied when she signed that Affidavit about her residency. She lied when she said she pays her taxes in Hartford. Thea is a LIAR, finally someone has exposed her.
Furthermore, she called Kevin trying to cover up the lies.
Common sense is we all know in order to pay your taxes you have to do one of the few things,
1. pay the bill online
2. mail in a payment
3. pay the bill in person
Thea knew who she was paying her taxes to, as SHE made the payments herself. The town is printed boldly on the top of the tax bill, this is common sense!
This is no clerical error at all.
Then she tried to fix the mistake last week and most likely used her power to get the tax assessors staff to change the dates on the documents to cover up where she's been living.
It is not a secret that Thea lives on 1 Brighton Park Way, Bloomfield with her "boyfriend" J. Stanford and has been living there since he purchased the property back on 6/15/15 according to tax records.
She also stated she lived there when she got the call that she accepted the position in a published news article in 2016.
Thea is sneaky and a liar and needs to do us all a favor and step down from her position.
If Bronin wants a chance to become our next Governor he will do what's RIGHT and fire Thea. She lied, so she should lose her position. What type of example will he be setting for his other employees if she is not reprimanded?
Kevin thank you for your continuous hard work and dedication for OUR people

It’s fair to think if you want to control a political perception and control a narrative it doesn’t much to gain favor, just buy help. The Washington Post did this by changing their reporting rules. Their staff are, by contract ,not allowed to report negative stories about advertisers. Therefore, pay and be free of criticism. That’s power.

I get a kick out of the Courant’s obvious bias in favor of the Bronins’ admin appointees. Referring to the Fitzpatrick resignation was due to a “flurry of acccusations” regarding his factual residency fraud. He resigned because he screwed up. He lied on his contract with the City. Bronins looked the other way. No doubt about it! These reporters are dim to believe were are as dim as they write. On another note, these directors make so much money leaves me one question, Why don’t you just buy a house in the city? Greedy asses? Don’t want to help pay your salary? Do you care about Hartford, Bronins’..... we will see, will we not.

Not every director can afford to buy the kind of dwelling the Bronin’s purchased, which is basically a neighbor-less abode a stone’s throw away from the capitol.
