The City should never have endeavored to build the stadium in the first place. Having done so without putting the matter before the electorate (or before the non-voting taxpayers such as Aetna), the worst thing City Hall can do is to leave the thing undone. Centerplan's compromise proposal seems OK to me. Why can't we complete the stadium AND get rid of the pols by either going into bankruptcy or bringing in a control board?<br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />At the meeting, Walker said that if city voters were allowed, they would recall the City Council and the mayor. He said his taxes have gone up 70 percent since 2008.<br /><br />He’s calling for an independent financial control board to take over, saying that fiscal mismanagement and incompetence is to blame for the city’s budget woes.<br /><br />At the meeting, city resident Jim Fox asked the City Council to resign and said that Black Rock should secede from Bridgeport.<br /><br />Ganim, a Democrat, ran for office on a pledge that he would hold the line on taxes.

Luke is poison to Hartford. I'd like to see Hartford take the lead in recapturing local government by shit canning current dirt bag politicians and replacing with homegrown leaders who are not self serving and actually care about those they serve. This brand of leadership is killing our country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-36281189617647523702016-07-06T20:15:37.628-04:002016-07-06T20:15:37.628-04:007:59
