Hartford Police have been called to the Sand School polling place after an altercation between Hartford's Democratic Registrar Olga Vazquez's husband Radames Vazquez (he's also Abe Giles' son) and Giselle Feliciano.
According to witnesses at Sand School, Vazquez was repeatedly going inside the 75 foot boundary and handing out literature. When Giselle asked him to stop, he apparently approached her in a threatening manner and called her a "f--king bitch".
Hartford Police plan to babysit the polling place until at least 8PM
More to come as the night wears on, I mean progresses.
After that post yesterday about Olga Vazquez telling City Hall staffers not to read my blog because I make money off of every hit, several people have called with suggestions how to build the blog. I am in the process of expanding the blog to a website that will provide information to readers. And no Olga, I do not make any money off the blog, but thanks to you, that may change.
Hopefully the new website will list community meeting times and dates, Council meetings and hearings and provide information for people to become more involved.I'm open to suggestions for anything that readers would like to see on the new "wethepeoplehartford.com".
But one of the best ideas came about at the polling places today. The "wanted poster" that is pictured below was very popular. I had several people make inquiries about it, and numerous people said they would love to see it on a t-shirt.
The shirts have been ordered, and soon we can start making a fashion statement of our own.
Apparently there is still confusion regarding what was actually decided by Judge Peck in her order regarding the 5th District Democratic Town Committee petitions.
I had someone approach me today that was at the Sand School polling place and they stated they were confused by the ruling. They told me that the husband of Democratic Registrar of Voters Olga Vazquez had told them at the Clark Street School polling place that the Giles/Vazquez slate had actually won the case.Olga Vazquez is the Registrar that John Rose testified "blew it" and caused the petition problem
In actuality, the 5th District Challenge slate, the Kirkley-Bey slate has won the case based upon Judge Peck's decision. Through John "Rosie" Rose's manipulation of the Justice system, the case has been automatically "stayed" for 20 days. Eventually after the case winds its way through higher courts, if Judge Peck's decision withstands scrutiny, as it most likely will, the Giles slate will be thrown out and the Kirkley-Bey slate will be confirmed the winner.
All of that will become irrelevant if the Kirkley-Bey slate wins at the polls today.
To eliminate any questions, the full decision, all 32 pages, is below. The decision is pretty clear and speaks for itself. If you don't have time to read the whole decision, the last couple pages will tell you the Judge's opinion and her conclusion to invalidate the Giles/Vazquez slate
Hopefully this clears up the decision for Radames and any one else that is confused
A frequent "We the People" reader and comment poster, Thom Page,hosted a Democratic Party fundraiser at his West-end mansion, I mean home, this past weekend. Just kidding Thom, I know you are one of the good-guys working for change.
Well, apparently Hartford's version of the corrupt trifecta arrived in the form of Mayor Eddie Perez, Democratic Town Chairman Sean Arena and Eddie's favorite marionette, Kelvin Roldan. Whether they actually paid to attend is any ones guess. (that might be a good subject for another poll to judge what you think). People commented Sean looked tired, probably because of the long drive back from his New Canaan home.
Well anyway, from the "Only in Hartford" file, another guest, who made a donation to attend ,overheard an interesting conversation with Eddie. Apparently Eddie was bragging about a birthday party he was planning on holding for his wife in their "newly renovated basement".
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. Aren't the renovations what got you in trouble the last time? I hope you made sure to get receipts and permits this time.
Is the "Dark Emperor" granite still available for the vanity top?
For anyone that watched Democratic Registrar of Voters Olga Vazquez on the stand last week, it was quite apparent that the truth is not one of her strong suits.
Then this afternoon I got a couple of phone calls from City Hall employees. One of them asked me right out how much money I make off this blog. After I finished chuckling, I told them not a penny. I further related that if I figured it out, it probably costs me quite a bit. Figure the cost for copies of documents alone, typically fifty cents a page for anything obtained from the city. Not to mention the amount of time that goes into researching a post before I will put them up here.
Then, after coming back to seriousness, I asked them why they asked.
Apparently Olga Vazquez has encouraged people not to go to my blog because she has told them I make a dollar for every time someone goes to the blog. And after hitting 50,000 hits this weekend that must equate to me making $50,000 ,at least, off "we the people".
If Olga is trying to get people to boycott the blog, can an rJo Winch boycott be far behind?
Not one penny has been made off the blog my City Hall friends, so feel comfortable to continue reading. The only pay-off I'm looking forward to is the day these corrupt individuals are swept out of city hall and the cleansing can begin
In a court case that may have most people confused, John Rose made it clear to everyone in the courtroom today what actually happened. In his testimony before Judge Peck, John Rose stated on the record that "the Registrar blew it".
PICTURED ABOVE-OLGA VAZQUEZ, THE REGISTRAR WHO "BLEW IT"
The legal wrangling continued in Hartford Superior Court this afternoon. The first order of business was Judge Peck issuing her decision. In her decision, Judge Peck agreed with the plaintiffs that the petitions were "improperly validated and certified by the Democratic Registrar of Voters, or the Deputy Registrar of Voters, acting on her behalf in violation of General Statutes 9-410(c) and should have been rejected. Judge Peck went on to further order that "these candidates be removed from the ballot".
That decision seems pretty clear as to the Judge's intent. Since the decision was over 32 pages, I only paid for the last page with the Judge's orders and signature, you can view that below. Judge Pecks Decision-last Page
After the Judge's order was released, Rosie once again began his legal gamesmanship at the taxpayers expense.
Rose filed a motion for a stay, which means the Judges decision would be held off until Rose can appeal to a higher court. In typical John Rose fashion, his arguments before Judge Peck were more confusing than clarifying. He stood before the Judge and stated that essentially "the Registrar blew it".
Ok, Rosie, I think we all agree on that point,Olga blew it, so let's end this nonsense and go home.
Nope. Rose went on to state on the record that even though the Registrar "blew it", the City of Hartford wouldn't be harmed. But, his concern was that "if you deny this motion, they are dead, they are done" in referring to the Giles slate. Ok, Rosie who are you representing? The City of Hartford who will suffer no harm or the Giles slate?
Judge Peck then admonished Rosie that she was obligated to sit there and listen to his arguments but that any argument based on the merits of the case "is not your strongest suit".
Again even though the City won't be harmed because the Registrar "blew it" Rose showed his concern for the Giles slate. Rose stated on the record "the city won't be harmed these people will be murdered at the polls tomorrow" in referring to the Giles slate.
I'm still not sure about his concern for the Giles slate, and why the City of Hartford's attorney is apparently representing a political slate. I would think if the Giles slate felt aggrieved because the Registrar "blew it", they would hire their own attorney to fight for their rights, the same as the Kirkley-Bey slate did when they realized that Democratic Registrar Olga Vazquez "blew it".
As it stands now, since Rosie filed his appeal before 5:00PM, the election will go on as planned tomorrow. In the event the Kirkley-Bey slate wins, the whole matter will be a dead issue. If the Giles slate should by some chance prevail and Rosie's appeal fails, the Giles slate would then be removed in compliance with the Judge's order and the Kirkley-Bey slate would win.
Although questions are being answered slowly but surely about Olga Vazquez's apparent illegal activities, one big question still remains for me. Even after John Rose admitted in open court that the Registrar Vazquez was wrong and she "blew it", why are we spending one penny of taxpayer money to appeal.
Maybe it is time for the taxpayers to file a suit against Vazquez and Rose to recover our money spent to defend their incompetence
THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED ON THIS BLOG ARE STRICTLY THAT, MY OPINIONS.After getting fed up with the lack of openness in Hartford City Hall, I decided to begin a program on Hartford Public Access Television called "WE THE PEOPLE". Through tips received we have been able to expose numerous issues that the Perez Administration would prefer to keep quiet.
