High level sources in law enforcement and at both City Hall and the Hartford Board of Education have confirmed that federal investigators armed with a search warrant seized at least four computers earlier today from the Main Street offices of the Hartford Schools.
The City has remained very tight lipped about the search, and a spokesperson for Mayor Segarra, Maribel LaLuz denied any knowledge and said it "sounded like a hoax".
Nonetheless, sources confirmed that federal investigators seized and removed at least four computers as well as documents believed to be records for Hartford High School and other School Building Committee projects. Sources also said they believed that records were being seized from Diggs Construction as well. Diggs was the construction manager for former Mayor Eddie A. Perez.
One source said they believed that investigators were also going to a basement storage area at Hartford High School that may contain additional documents.
In June of 2011, a undercover operative for the FBI , William Myles, testified to the corrupt activities involving Hartford school building projects during a trial in New Orleans , Louisiana.
A person at Diggs Construction named Derrick asked how I found out and then said "we have no comment " and hung up.A request for a comment from David Medina of the Hartford Schools has not been returned
WNPR's Jeff Cohen reported on that and his story can be found here
ha ha ha ha ha. I guess Pedro is going to learn the hard way, just like eddie, stop surrounding yourself with idiots. The sad reality of it is that shit runs uphill when it comes to political corruption. So pedro, get your bags packed, and that little blinking red light you see flickering, thats your career disapation light.. it just went into high gear.
ReplyDeletewow, Panagore is the smartest dude in my book, he knew this was coming. Now watch all pedro's buddies head for the hills. No judgeship for you. I wonder what malloy thinks of this incompetance. Get that grand jury room cleaned out and ready, cause its going to be another barn burning in the city of hartford. Pedro can share a cell with eddie .
ReplyDeleteoh snap, I thought this was a hoax kevin. Sandra Borgas said you are greatly misinformed, it was the computer repair guys, coming to fix all the computers.
ReplyDeletebut in all seriousness, its sad that another long drawn out expensive federal investigation will again tarnish Hartford and its citizens. When will thes power hungry morons learn. Pedro, your snadbox of misfit toys will blame you for it all, watch, just like eddie. I would leave town now, cause your pals will turn on you faster then shit through a goose...
Hey Brookman,
ReplyDeleteU get news as soon as it is happening. U and Len Bestoff should be batman and robin. Im happy that finally, the feds will set the bar and end all of this corruption. keep us informed, the only thing missing from your blog is the weather reporrt, if you had that, your blog would be all i needed.
Anonymous #1 and #2 should remember that Diggs' time in the city ended about the same time as Eddie Perez's.
ReplyDeleteThis is all old dirt from Eddie, Daryl Diggs, and Jim Keaney (who Eddie hired to be his "Mayor's Director of Capital Projects" after his time at Diggs).
You can't hang this one on Pedro, Panagore or anyone else in the current Administration.
Pedro is not worry, Saundra has his back, for the kind of money she is making, I'm pretty sure she'll kiss his feet. Needless to said, she is setting him up to fail and he cannot see it. She is only making her way up to his throne. How sad, Pedro is being manipulated by a woman, can't he think for himself. Watch out Saundra, you might be the first woman being sent to prison for your involved in this corruption scandel, keep covering up for Pedro. Only time will tell, If I was in your shoes I would resign, before it gets worse.
ReplyDeleteI am a City employee and a Hartford taxpayer.
Ladies, Gentleman and Bichas,
ReplyDeletelets not forget that iron fence at that Prospect Avenue residents!
Da Peoples Budget Rules !!!
HPD did a similar investigation in the late 1900's but no one would listen or take the case. The excuse was "it is not a crime to be stupid" and that did happen
ReplyDeleteAs a City employee and Htfd Taxpayer, I am very disapointed that Mayor Pedro, if we can even address him as a Mayor, he doesn't deserve that respect, because he really hasn't earned it, He thinks that attending every event & ribbon cutting, giving his best friends big paid raises and bonuses, is consider to be what he was put into office for; hes got to be insane. I beleive that the poor elderly people , the homeless individual,the poor children that have no where to hang out, the mothers who have to drive across town to take their children to school, because they cannot walk to their neighborhood schools are happy, they have no idea that he is not doing anything for them. He is just making his friends richer and then he is crying about balancing the budget in taking away from those who need it the most. As a Mayor I beleive he has failed. Wasting taxpayers money on projects that are not sucessful like the $400k he spended on the downtown market, and every other project that is being swept underneath the carpet upstair that is being hush hush, that only his COO and he knows about. The Feds needs to start investigating all the hidden agenda that they have in the upstairs quarters of City Hall. He is only paying everyone to shut them off, The Feds need to hurry up and investigate before every computers and all document are distroy. Valda wasn't the only currupted Dept Head. She is one of a few.An he is hoping for a position as a future judge, oh please, neither Pedro or Saundra should be considered, they need to quit before more dirt starts coming out.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha , ha ...wait until they get Sandra Borges computer...She surely has much to lose...
ReplyDeleteAt what point will someone admit that this did not happen?
