Fact is she does nothing but argue and muddy the water. She hates the police. She hates outsiders into hartford to take the city jobs. But when the city residents cant even read, then why should the people that can actually do the jobs get turned away. <br />Students at Hartford high, as i type, can barely read. Yet get pushed through at extremely low standards to comply with the no child left behind. So how are these youth being prepared. Kids wearing head phones. Talking on cell phones. Wandering the halls,etc. <br />i walk to the hartford high library and observe kids basically being dragged to classrooms because they either dont want to go or rather wander the hallways all day and get a free pass in life because they live in hartford. <br />And you wonder why the police dept only got 3 city residents from the last recruitment campaign. Fact. Ask rovella. He will tell you that most city residents are ill prepared for a job. The standards are set by the state. So there is reassurance that standards will not be lowered. Even the last police sgt exam. 141 took the written exam. Only 31 passed with a 70 or better. The city then lowers the passing score to 62! Unheard of in the history of hpd. What is next ? <br />The money is running dry and i dont think the federal goverment is going to give hartford 10 billion for a tunnel when every political hack like bronin and malloy bad mouth trump. Well fellas, in about two short years, trump will still be the president and both bronin and malloy will be unemployed. Bronin could have been a real leader but choose to fight every union in the city. Im sure that will help him in the polls when re election time starts. <br />Aetna leaving. The civic center is crumbling. Put a casino in the ct convention center and call it a day. It cost 389 million to build, yet needs major 30 million in water damage repair along the side that the highway runs next to. Im sure this was tucked away to not alarm the public. The list goes on. The money has run out. The system is broken. <br />Is hartford any better now then 20 yrs ago Mr brookman ?

We got the crime, drugs and prostitution anyway. <br /><br /><b>Hartford Courant December 16, 1992. <br /><br />'While two neighborhood groups voiced strong opposition to casino gambling Tuesday night, another group met to hear the pros and cons of building a casino and convention center in Hartford.<br /><br />About 60 One Chane members and others in north Hartford met to plan strategy to block a casino. No one at the meeting, attended by several ministers, spoke in favor of gambling. Several letters opposing a casino from local churches were read.<br /><br />Many people said they were concerned about an increase in crime, including thefts, prostitution and organized crime. Jobs created by a casino, they said, would be menial and low-paying.<br /><br />"We're not only here because of the gambling issue," said the Rev. William Purnell, lead organizer for One Chane. We're here to organize as a community, to have a voice, to have power."<br /><br />Cynthia Jennings, a One Chane member, said she feared the extra jobs would go to people who live outside the city, and construction contracts would not be awarded to minority contractors."</b><br /><br />Fast forward to June 11, 2008.<br /><br /><b>Two years ago, when the donors stopped giving and the bills couldn't be paid, the board of directors for ONE/CHANE went to U.S. Bankruptcy Court and filed for liquidation.</b><br /><br />Looks like history might repeat itself. Wasn't that the same group that brought us the Rhodes Scholar and his wife The Mayor? How are those "extra jobs" working out for you Ms. Jennings?Memory Lanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-45661087355417650502017-06-03T14:24:19.777-04:002017-06-03T14:24:19.777-04:00Hartford is the place of my birth and would love t...Hartford is the place of my birth and would love to see the city turn around. I just caught the Colin McEnroe piece in the Hartford Courant about what he wished for Hartford in the year 2027, expecting lot's to happen after a new highway project and new Civic Center. But haven't these things been tried before and failed due to the high crime rate? Hartford needs to get very serious about crime then all else will follow. I had friends and family who tried to make Hartford their home and after apartment break-ins and muggings they just gave up. Recently I walked from the train station in Hartford down Washington Street to Hartford Hospital. Not exactly a long walk but just blocks from the state capital building there is extreme poverty and blight. How about cleaning up what the city has now before building splashy new projects?

ZERO TOLERANCE! The policy is clearly posted at every single City building. Let's see if Dusty's investigation will be thorough and concise. Disciplinary action must be swift. From suspension or demotion. Discipline must be hashed out if these allegations are true. Unfortunately Mr. Brookman my guess is nothing will happen to her which will set precedent for future sexual harrasment complaint's in the Department.

The ghosts now gossip from the graves about each other like the characters in Edgar Lee Masters "Spoon River Anthology." <br /><br />I once waited in line at Sotheby's in New York to view the Katharine Hepburn estate. As I spoke to someone about coming down from Hartford, a woman in front of me turned around with a kind smile and asked me about Hartford. I kindly informed her that it was no longer the Hartford of the Guilded Ages of publishers and writers and grand horse and buggy rides up and down Farmington Avenue. And that blight and slum was creeping ever so slowly and now, years later, the ghetto has joined other ghettos of Hartford and become one pan ghetto from one end of town to the other. From Barry Square to Terry Square. From the hills of the West End down to the bend in the Big River..<br /><br />Would you like to swing on a star<br />Carry moonbeams home in a jar<br />Or would you like to sit in a dish<br />And be someone's warm plate of fish<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-2247299544812510482017-06-02T22:38:37.445-04:002017-06-02T22:38:37.445-04:00@9:08
