Your commentary on previous may...To Anonymous 6:21<br /><br />Your commentary on previous mayors from the City of Hartford was disturbing but I will center on your titling of Mike Peters as "Drunk Mike". That was a low blow that denigrated a deceased former leader of the City. <br /><br />Mike Peters was not perfect but I knew him pretty well. He thought about how to make Hartford a better place every day of his tenure as Mayor. Not only did he know everyone in the City he was able to work with even his harshest critics to get things done.<br /><br />Mike died an early death from an awful form of cancer and your commentary is disgraceful. No mayor is perfect and as a police officer the others on your list never inspired any confidence. Mike Peters did. And if you want to take cheap shots at least leave your name. <br /> Christopher Lyons retired HPDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-37750982461016621012017-07-02T16:32:30.308-04:002017-07-02T16:32:30.308-04:00I agree that Trust fund baby Luke manages to not e...I agree that Trust fund baby Luke manages to not embarrass himself like a certain politician in the WH but Hartford is facing some serious challenges. Not only are we flooded by herds of junkies roaming the streets, but also a severely understaffed dept that is badly demoralized. The moral around here is honestly pathetic and those dozen recruits in the academy, I'll bet 40% will bail before they finish fto.

You said a lot and I want to respond. Yes, ...@6:21<br /><br />You said a lot and I want to respond. Yes, the city is over run with junkies. I have found a few bags of dope in front of my house early morning when I pick up my paper. I also have found $10 bill lost to a junkie waiting to purchase. But it isn't limited to Hartford. It's everywhere. Heroin is so cheap now everyone wants in; users and pushers. I suggest to decriminalize it and make it available in methadone clinics. Junkies will never stop using. They either die or grow out of it over a lifetime. <br /><br />You mentioned blight and this is a huge problem. When you have every god damn neighborhood with blighted houses, that is a big problem. So don't put down the mayor over this initiative. But essentially you are correct, Hartford has gone to the dogs. There is nothing that can change it. Too many poor, dysfunctional, special needs people have moved to Hartford. The neighborhoods can't be saved. I'm doing what I can but my time is now limited in Hartford. Hartford is an arm pit. As the song goes, "I'm moving on up, to the east side, to an apartment in the sky..."<br /><br />Our trust fund baby is a blessing compared to previous mayors. Pedro's? Fast Eddie? Drunk Mike? Carrie "golden parachute to everyone" Perry? Give me a break.

Believe me if they even had an atoms worth of sh** for the city, no way the crime rate would be what it is and the school system would be what it is. Secondly, Kev you should do a piece on how Bronin is cooking the numbers in terms of crime in this city. It is bad out there on a weekend around Albany ave for example. ShotSpotter went off 25x plus this wk, there are more junkies roaming downtown and northend than ever before and all our trust fund baby of a mayor is worried about is blight.
