Apparently Hartford's high taxes aren't the only thing Sean and Ralph Arena have figured out how to beat. As I first posted here, Hartford's Democratic Town Chairperson Sean Arena and his brother, 4th District Town Committee member Ralph Arena have apparently been registering and having their cars taxed in New Canaan. New Canaan has a mil rate of 13, compared to Hartford's much higher mil rate of almost 74 mils. Read the previous posting and view the Arena's New Canaan tax bills here.
Now, after obtaining the Arena's vehicle registrations from the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicle's, it appears that the Arena's have found another way to beat the high cost of living in Hartford.
As you can see on the registrations, both brothers share an insurance policy from AIG, using the false New Canaan address. This apparently serves a dual purpose in beating Hartford's high cost of living. Insurance rates in New Canaan are much lower than in Hartford, and by claiming to live together, the brothers are only using one policy rather than the 2 separate policies they should have.
Only in Hartford I guess. Leadership by example.
And as you may or may not recall, our current Mayor Eddie A. Perez pulled the same scam during his first term as Mayor. Perez registered his cars and had them taxed in Bloomfield until the Hartford Courant picked up on it and exposed his activity.
In their registrations below, I redacted out their date of births and operator license number
