Does Pedro Segarra really think that any reasonable person can believe the nonsense flowing out of his mouth?
I know the saying, desperate times call for desperate measures, but Pedro is taking it to the extreme, Pedro's attack on his challenger's time of residence is laughable It is now coming to light that Pedro's claims of 41 years in residence seem to b e less than truthful. Apparently after Segarra filed for bankruptcy in 1998, he left Hartford and moved to Florida for several years before heading back North. Bankruptcy case number- 98-25578..Pedro was represented by Attorney Alex Aponte.
Although I think this info should draw Segarra's claims of residency into question, it might also explain an awful lot. Is it any wonder how a man who had to fle for personal bankruptcy could be entrusted with Hartford's half a billion a year budget?
The comment above from Segarra's Twitter feed is also laughable "how dare someone who cannot relate think they can run this City" Is that what you call your performance Pedro, "running the City"? Maybe more like running it off a cliff.
I also can't understand this residency issue when it comes to leadership. Segarra has pretty much proven he is devoid of any leadership skills. His challenger has already shown he has a better leadership resume than Segarra could ever hope for. The military experience, the Obama Administration, the Malloy Administration compared to Segarra's history as a failed , and bankrupt attorney..
And just a quick note, if residency is so important to qualify for leadership potentially did Segarra drag a Hartford newcomer onto his slate? James Woulfe, one of Segarra's Council slate members. Woulfe has just barely a year as a Hartford resident according to voter registration records, he also still has his vehicle apparently registered in Middletown, avoiding Hartford's outrageous mill rate for car taxes. Not a good way to start out, "taking it to the streets for the people" avoiding the same taxes we are burdened with. I could probably overlook Woulfe's newness to Hartford when I look at others on Segarra's Council slate that have done nothing for Hartford except to claim residency here.
And what about the member of Segarra's slate that was institutionalized and committed to the Institute of Living after a cocaine binge when he threatened to kill a former Mayor. I guess integrity and character only counts when it comes to your political opponents, and I would match Luke Bronin's character up against Pedro Segarra's or any member of his slate any day.
Pedro needs to start talking about truthfulness and stop the rhetoric. Hartford's political system worked just fine for Pedro Segarra four years ago when he was Hartford's political son. He gladly accepted the nomination when I went in his favor. Now four years later when the majority of the Democratic Town Committee have come to realize his inefficiency and incompetence and went in a different direction, the system is suddenly corrupt and rigged.
And while I am talking about rhetoric, lets be honest about the homicide numbers. Figures were apparently put out today comparing homicide numbers for the last ten years. It showed our high point in 2003 of 45 homicides for the year. Segarra should remember that was the year of the Greenwood's arson fire and fourteen of those deaths were ruled homicides as a result of the arson fire. It is still bad, but a lot different than shooting deaths.
Residency means nothing. Lets focus on ideas and what the candidates bring to the table, not how long they have lived here.

This is outrageous! This is a scandal! We are disgusted to our stomachs. This Pedro Caviar Segarra must be OUT of office. O-U-T!!! The sooner the better.
Here's what Segarra should write in his Twitter account:
"How can someone who cannot handle his own financials think he can handle more than 1/2 billion dollars of the city financials."
SHAME ON YOU, pedro caviar corrupt segarra. SHAME ON YOU.
Please allow me to introduce to you the biggest liar and manipulator on earth. Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. Pedro Segarra.
Correction, Kevin, to your last paragraph:
Residency means absolutely nothing, but means a lot only when it's related to people like Pedro Segarra and another unqualified jerk, Terry Waller (that SKB's fiance/toy boy/jerk who was the sole candidate because of his residency).
41 Years. His time in Florida is now exposed (what exactly did he do in Florida with and without Aponte; can we look at his tax return filings for those years), as well as his time in Cromwell with 'Touch of Class' escorts/prostitutes.
I'm wondering if his time at a certain Westfarms Mall location will be considered as a West Hartford/ Farmington residency.
41 Years of lies and fantasies.
Where's the Courant in all this? What about some investigating and reporting this Segarra residency and his time in Florida, and also the details, the entire story of his bankrupcy?
Mayor Caviar filed for Bankruptcy and fled to Florida like aThief in the night.
How can a person who cannot handle his own money handle the City's money?
In the above photo, is Segarra signing a check or something? I hope it's not going to bounce for insufficient funds. Please note, Segarra is not even looking at what he's signing.
Now that Segarra has bankruptcy filing experience, it will make it easier for him to file for bankruptcy for the entire city. Judge Killian was correct: the City of Hartford is broke and is getting closer and closer to filing for bankruptcy protection.
11:25 pm is correct. we all remember when Terry Waller was the only "qualified" person to be a fire department candidate to be assistant chief. the segarra administration made sure that Walker was the only Hartford resident so he can get the job even if he was not qualified.
just ask Pedro Segarra and Sandy Kee-Borges about it.
When you hire a "scheduler" for yourself even if that position is not budgeted, when you hire communication "officer" Hilda Munoz to another position that is not budgeted, when you give jobs to your friends and cronies like Minnie Gonzalez' daughter, like Andersen's girlfriend, like Terry Waller, to mention just a few, when you give fully paid Ford Fusions like crazy to city employees instead of cheaper Toyota Priuses or something smaller, when you build a stadium for a family of billionaires who won't contribute a dime of their own money, when you spend half a million "studying" the stadium project on your lawyers and "consultants" friends, when you spend millions more on a stupid Tom Deller's ridiculous iQuilt project, when you do all that when the city is broke, there's only one direction, it's called BANKRUPTCY, and you Segarra are good at it.
Segarra is learning from reading this blog. Right after the latest murder, an announcement was made that all campaign activities had been suspended. More than likely his is a direct result of him having read that people are watching this kind of stuff about him via this blog.
To the Hartford Courant's Managing Editor:
Dear Sir or Madam:
Once again, Mr. Kevin Brookman was able to find out more details, none are good, about our failed mayor in the last 5 years, the latest which involves undisclosed filing for bankruptcy (Bankruptcy case number 98-25578).
It's time to ask one of your serious reporters to order the file, study, evaluate and report it, if you want your newspaper to remain relevant.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Pedro Segarra's image is loaded with lies and deception. That's the REAL man. We all hope he'll start packing soon.
Segarra's campaign activities are not suspended at all. It's just a way for him to get some attention, to get more free coverage, to pretend that he "cares," because if it was true, than murders in Hartford for Segarra - not to mention stabbings all over, almost daily - are nothing but numbers. Segarra waited for the number "20" to suspend activity. Yeah, right.
20 MURDERS SO FAR THIS YEAR, ALREADY MORE THAN ALL OF LAST YEAR. WE HAVE 150 MORE DAYS TO GO TIL THE END OF THIS YEAR.
Stop scaring me with that undertaker photo shop job of the caviar queen. Talk about overloading the air brush app. His eye bags have disappeared!!!
Listen you at 6:28, With a salary of $150,000 a year + tons of benefits (he earned $750,000+++ in the last 5 yrs.), the caviar queen can afford a plastic surgey or face lift, even in Beverly Hills if he wishes
6:28 I thought that was Pedro Caviar in wax from the Madam Toussaud museum.
No, that's Pedro Caviar himself with heavy makeup. Most likely he has taken some drugs - prescription or other stuff - before taking this photo.
I agree with 10:21am
Where's the Courant to investigate Segarra's bankrupcy? What was the reason for bankruptcy? What's behind the story? Was there any fraud involved?
Where's the Courant?
Pedro Segarra need to be removed from office!!!! He is no Mayor!! He is a disgrace. He has done nothing but use his power as a social gig and has his group of people that are just like him running behind him like little kids making no sense of what they do. Minnie and Ed Vargas...haha what a joke. By the way they need to stop harassing the older people with their Political nonsense. People are complaining that they are being intimidated by them. Ed needs to back off too. He is a racist. Bunch of losers with some interesting backgrounds- underachievers is what they are. They want to open up a can of worms then lets do it here. This is an excellent blog. I encourage everyone to write about this little group. I bet most following Pedro like little babies taking his orders have some interesting background. Last time during elections he was hiring criminals and offering money. Sending them to people's homes, and by the way putting flyers in mailboxes which is illegal. Might as well let it all out now. Thanks to Kevin for this blog because here is where you find the truth. The Mayor is a liar and is abusing the City along with his followers. Lies and Lies about how long he lived in the City of Hartford, please I lived longer in City of Hartford then he did. He doesn't return calls or follow up, he has disappointed many and it's time people remove him from office. It's the only way the City will be back up running the way it should. When something happens in the City of Hartford, he tries to be there because at some conference he was told that's how he can win votes. Unless he is out partying like a darn teenager. Shame on him for acting like that. He is acting like a fool out there, dancing, partying and drinking. This is the Mayor we have here... what a joke. Wake up people and let's do the right thing. Talk to your friends and neighbors, tell them what the Mayor is doing to us, don't be fooled because he uses the fact that he is Latino. He is dirty. People you will see those followers and those that are doing wrong with him because they will begin to reply to this to defend that crook. Just watch. Those that do are also doing dirt with Pedro. He doesn't deserve to be called Mayor. Thank you Kevin for this blog and for giving us an opportunity to speak up and do it. These guys have no idea that some of the same people helping his group are the ones speaking up. Let it go Pedro, just step down because you will loose this battle. And shame on you Pedro Segarra for the nonsense you are writing on the Social Media. What an embarrassment...you are not in High School.
Where are you Hartford Courtant!!! Help the City of Hartford. Kevin Brookman has a lot of good info here. Let get what we need from this: (Bankruptcy case number 98-25578).
(Bankruptcy case number 98-25578).
(Bankruptcy case number 98-25578).
(Bankruptcy case number 98-25578
Why isn't this being investigated. Does the Mayor control The Hartford Courant?
Pedro Segarra step down, you will loose this battle. Save yourself the embarrassment. By the way, when you visit homes, some of those that are telling you they will support you just say it to get you off their back. They are not supporting you. You are going to be very disappointed during election. Your time is up. You were given he opportunity to bring change and you failed. I still have questions about the ballpark. And what changes have taken place since there are so many city cars driven by people to go to Stop & Shop, some are eating out on restaurants and have baby car seats in them. City cars are not for personal use. How are you doing with background checks on those you hire to work for you? STOP SENDING CRIMINALS TO KNOCK ON OUR DOORS TO CAMPAIGN FOR YOU. JUST STOP!!!! Who can we contact for all the flyers and literature that are being placed in our mailboxes. They do not work for the postal office.
Pedro Segarras little group is making this a Latino issue...I didn't know that the City of Hartford only had Latinos. All the nonsense about not letting the "blancos" take away the Latino seat. What is that!!! IT's about an action plan, doing what's right for the City. Talking to voters and most importantly listening to them and showing your face. Pedro rather go shopping for cloths to go clubbing at night and drink all night, then to get up early to speak to people. If you see him out there now it's because it's election time. What a joke. Ed Vargas goes around telling his people " Lets not let the white take our Latino seat". He says "Latinos need to stick together". Wow, now that's a joke. I though all the people stick together. They making it a color issue when it's not.
If the courant doesn't investigate Pedro then it just proves that he controls them too. Politics as usual. Maybe we need to call in all the news and get them to speak up for us.
The Courant is truly a useless, irrelevant paper. They cover 50 Cent bankruptcy filing and his $72,000 spending a month with great details, but so far ignored Pedro Segarra bankruptcy filing. For the record: Pedro Segarra spends over $42,000,000 of our hard earned money each and every month.
8:59 AM, Call the Courant, ask them to speak up for us or just boycott the Courant for not speaking up for us.
Vargas is correct, "Latinos need to stick together." Absolutely, so they can get Ed Vargas out of his elected office.
Vargas, you're a piece of garbage, just like Segarra.
Someone should file a complaint with the US Postal Service for illegal use of our mailboxes for Pedro Segarra's flyers.
EDWIN, MINNIE and PEDRO: all three must be removed from the jobs we elected them.
We, the People of Hartford, have the responsibility to get them out.
Caviar hires idiots that Don't know the law, just like his Dumb ass. Call the Secretary of State if you get literature in your mail Not Post Marked. Sorry you didn't raise the money Bronin did, you still have to play by rules!
Oh yeah you haven't yet, why start NOW.
5:09pm Pedro Caviar doesn't care about no rules or regulations, the only thing her cares about is his re-election so he can continue manipulating and profiting from the system, as much as he possibly can.
If elected, his own earnings as mayor will be around $1.5M - that's right, around $1,500,000 - not to mention endless benefits.
Who wouldn't like to make that much $$$$ for a miserable performance such as his.
Segarra had a bankruptcy he never told us about. Segarra supposedly resided 41 years in Hartford which he lied to us about. Segarra had an issue of stolen or missing more than seventy grand from his ex-lover which he also never told us about. How many more issues is Segarra not telling us about?
I'm sure Segarra has a bunch of skeletons in his closets, both at home and his office. That's the reason he knows he must win; a new mayor will expose all the corruption and dirt from the Segarra's administration.
In my opinion, any administration AFTER the current, corrupt one, will find tons of filth, wrong doings and, of course, a mountain of debt.
What a joke. Ed Vargas goes around telling his people " Lets not let the white take our Latino seat". He says "Latinos need to stick together"
Yeah, first get your "people" off of welfare. All of us whites in Hartford work hard so you can sit on your Park Street butts all day and do nothing. That's your seat, dirty Park Street.
Nothing more.
