You don't increase salaries to your cronies by 20% (some of them making well over $100K) for the same reasons. You don't upgrade the fleet of cars to employees when there's no money (except police cars, as necessary). You don't 'done-deal' a deal of tens of millions that you negotiated secretly and knowing that the tax payers are the one who'll pay for it. You make sure the people you remove from office don't use anything - incl. the conveniently free vehicles - after they're removed from office. You don't give a loan without guarantee like the $400,000 you gave Ryan and Kelleanne Jones to start-up that 'Hartford 21 Market' that shortly after closed its doors (without paying the city $1 back and screwing up farmers and suppliers). You honestly and thoroughly investigate each and every issue that need to be investigated even if it involves your friend and defenders (incl. Jared Kupiec and SKB).<br />These are the real issues Mr. Segarra, oh, sorry 'Anonymous'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-53053288424245076272014-08-10T13:40:03.892-04:002014-08-10T13:40:03.892-04:00If you know, please help: with all the talk about ...If you know, please help: with all the talk about SAUNDRA KEE BORGES, how much $$ is SKB making annually from our city?

We need jobs and food on the table during difficult times. For those who can afford caviar, a stadium could be more important of course. I do think it is not right to use the stadium to demonstrate something has been done in Hartford. Eddie Perez did a lot for Hartford and he ended in a court of law and betrayed.

If we go back in history we will see the pattern. Others did worse but no one bother to talk about it then. I guess it all depends on the color, maybe their nationality or sexual preference? People forget quick, and this is leading to think that who has declared war against Pedro are those who want his title, and I wont doubt that among them is SKB. It is all about dirty politics.

It was a joint effort by the Governor, UConn Board Chairman Larry McHugh and, above all, UConn President Susan Herbst. As a matter of fact, after Ms. Herbst chose the Hartford Times Building on Prospect St., it was Mayor Segarra - together with City Council President Shawn Wooden - who asked UConn to find an alternative location, go somewhere else, or as they wrote in their letter "Consider other sites." At a meeting a year ago, on Aug. 14, 2013, after Ms. Herbst insisted on her choice, "city officials" understood that Hartford has to be on a path to better relationship with UConn.<br /><br />As for the complex on Front St., this was constructed and financed long before Segarra became mayor.<br /><br />As for the "downtown north": We all agree that something must be done in that location, but it cannot be done behind closed doors, secretly, like thieves at night. You don't spit in executives faces while they're negotiating in good faith the construction of a supermarket on that land. You don't sign documents and announce a "done deal" before you even present it to your city council and residents of the city - especially a deal of this magnitude. And you don't rush to finance $60 million and than lie that parking spaces and sales tax will bring the revenue to pay for it, knowing that in a poor city with the highest mill rate in the state - BY FAR the highest - the residents will be burdened with even MORE taxes to pay for the stadium. Mayor Segarra was involved with so many scandals in his administration and with employees who're very close to him, that the residents decided that enough is enough.<br /><br />On s personal note, if you move to Hartford, we'd like to wish you all the best.

So the little bit you hear and the litte bit you see as you enter and exit the ramp right onto Front St, you don't see this Mayor and all his corrupt, deployable shenanigans. So let me ask:<br /><br />What do you think about a Mayor who uses city funds to treat his friends to Caviar and Champagne on New Years eve, while most hartford residents can not afford a meal out.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor who uses city funds to oay for a orivate funeral.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor who uses city services for his personal needs and taxi after a night if drinking at the Polo Club.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor that violates the Charter.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor who says and I quote; I don't need the African American Vote.<br /><br />What do you think about a Mayor who has different standards for diiferent people.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor that decieves and is not transparent to taxpayers.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor that is reactive and not proactive.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor who solicited prostitutes and paid for sex an illegal activity.<br /><br />What do you think of a Mayor that has lost the trust of the people he governs.<br /><br />This is just a few examples of Segarra's legacy. So when you state cut the man some slack, we beg to differ, we can't afford it.<br />Respectully, you can't weigh in on this until you move here, which I doubt. I believe you annonymously are right under Segarra, perhaps one of his appointees that don't live in Hartford. <br /><br />Pedro save these people to work on your campaign YOUR GOING TO NEED THEM.
