Someone made an executive decision to install it and eventually fill the top in, with the possibility that the door can always be removed and replaced. It's hardly even a big deal...there are much larger issues here. <br />Don't waste your time nit picking on things that don't actually matter.<br />Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089899972330917356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-68161220722774201072016-06-09T11:32:58.418-04:002016-06-09T11:32:58.418-04:00I am just wondering what Dunkin Donuts has to say ...I am just wondering what Dunkin Donuts has to say about all this.

Bronin will try again to get the legislature to give him Czar authority to take over the City, but I doubt that will happen. Although they've been complicit in Malloy's ruinous policies, they probably won't agree to this one, especially if it has any state dollars associated with it. On another not, if I were advising Centerplan, I would recommend bankruptcy at this point. It cleans the slate and puts this behind them. There is no chance they're doing the greater development project at this point, so shut it down and walk away. Let Arch deal with the City contract and the subcontracts flowing from it. They can pick and choose what's viable and toss the rest into the unsecured category.

The state can't afford to keep bailing out Hartford, nor should they even if they were flush with cash, and the rot is too far gone. Tear up all existing contracts and pensions and health benefits, and start fresh at an affordable baseline and massively reduce the mill rate. Bring in leaders who won't tolerate bad behavior in schools, won't tolerate gun crime, won't tolerate drug gangs, and will do whatever it takes to move forwards.<br /><br />Or, keep electing democrats.<br />General Grievousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-55986359776121078292016-06-08T04:57:58.732-04:002016-06-08T04:57:58.732-04:00Why is I Charles playing cheerleader for Yardgoats...Why is I Charles playing cheerleader for Yardgoats from day one.

My guess is a mistake was made when ordering the doors or the wrong door was delivered. <br /><br />#2: the holes in the doors were not drilled, they come like that to mount the decorative push bar/handle. It's common to use wire or something similar until it's safe (from getting ruined during construction) to install the chrome or brushed or polished handles.<br /><br />#3: the locks are always installed on exterior doors as soon as they are hung. It's no less secure than when the project is completed.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089899972330917356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-4817621124755551792016-06-07T20:27:49.489-04:002016-06-07T20:27:49.489-04:00http://www.journalinquirer.com/opinion/chris_powel...http://www.journalinquirer.com/opinion/chris_powell/hartford-stadium-disaster-invites-state-government-takeover-of-city/article_e076b92c-2cb3-11e6-886d-6fa66932af50.html<br /><br />"Hartford stadium disaster invites state government takeover of city"<br /><br />"For Hartford, overwhelmed by poverty and a government class that merely coddles it, is no longer capable of self-government, which requires a dominant, engaged, private-sector middle class the city hasn't had for decades. Nineteen years ago state government began to notice this and supplanted the city's school board with a state-appointed one. But after several years control reverted to the city and state government more or less gave up and resumed merely shoveling money into Hartford without making even the most obvious and necessary judgments."peter brushnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-71635177609508502902016-06-07T20:22:37.033-04:002016-06-07T20:22:37.033-04:00Get Smart - Cone of Silence (from episode 1) https...Get Smart - Cone of Silence (from episode 1) https://youtu.be/g1eUIK9CihA<br />It is truly sad that the Bronin administration is using the same level of communication when it comes to making critical decisions that effect the citizens of Hartford as the one they were elected to replaced.
