I don't think I.Charles Matthews, Chairman of the Hartford Stadium Authority, has made an accurate statement in months, except maybe when he claims "meeting adjourned". I am not sure I. Charles has the capacity needed to understand what it takes to complete a construction project or to be able to recognize the scope of a project mas large as the Stadium.
All comments regarding completion, home game dates and anything else related to the Stadium should be coming from the Mayor's Office who might actually have a better grasp of the situation than Matthews.
Hasn't this project already been enough of an embarassment for the people of Hartford without Matthews compounding the ignorance by reckless claims and completion dates with no basis in reality? Maybe because Matthews bailed on Hartford years ago when he moved out,he doesn't feel the same commitment as residents that actually live here.
Matthews should have been removed months ago as Chairman, especially when the costs were allowed to run over by $10 million dollars (and most likely more when all is said and done)
Enough is enough, Mayor, please put the muzzle on your Stadium Authority Chairman and release some real information. Information that we the public can actually trust that what is being said is true and see there are some realistic goals for completion.
