IT IS OFFICIAL, SEGARRA ADMINISTRATION IS A JOKE
Five shootings have taken place in the last three days in Hartford. Three of those shootings resulted in homicides.
Mayor Segarra's response , a press release and jumping jacks on the lawn of the Old Statehouse. Does he not understand leadership and the responsibilities that go along with that obligation to the people of Hartford?
A press release crafted by a secretary with the usual quotes "one shooting is too many" is hardly leader quality. Being unavailable for the media is even more cowardly. Mayor , you are the leader of this City, now tell us what you plan to do to deal with this violence. And not to be crude, but save the usual crap, we are tired of it.
And if that relationship with Governor Malloy is so wonderful, as you claim, why isn't the Shooting Task Force being revitalized? If you are really paying attention, I am sure you are aware that the one initiative that actually had a huge impact on gun violence last year has been decimated and is less than half of what it was last year.
I guess that is the Hartford way though, things that really work, we find a way to destroy
And I don't intend to leave the City Council out of this rant . Isn't it interesting how no one answers their phones when they know the tough questions are coming from the media. Those that spearheaded the budget cuts for HPD and are more than willing to go on camera to chase the low hanging fruit now won't pick up the phone to explain if reducing HPD spending for overtime was the brightest move.
Leadership isn't easy, but it might be nice to experience it for a change. At all of the recent shootings, the only politician I saw stop and speak to residents has been 7th District State Rep. Doug McCrory at Harrison Place. Where are all the Council members, still burying their heads in the sand? Or maybe just ashamed to face the questions and accept responsibility for their budget actions.
In the meantime Pedro, keep jumping, it is making a huge difference in improving our City
Here is Segarra's "Official" Statement:

WHO CARES ABOUT SPELLING ANYWAY
The signs posted around the gravel lot for employee's at the Public Safety Complex on High Street are meant to warn "violaters" against trespassing on the lot.
I think they meant violators , with an "o", I guess the sign machine doesn't have spell check

SAY IT ISN'T SO, CHEATING AT BETANCES
FoxCT and Courant.com are reporting that the State of Connecticut has launched an investigation into possible cheating on test scores at Betance's Elementary School in Hartford.
I am sure it can't possibly be true because people's bonuses depend on these test scores.
