I REALLY WANT TO BELIEVE

It is kind of difficult to have a lot of confidence in anything Pedro Segarra says or does. Anything that involves his administration seems to result in chaos or corruption.

I have been driving by the Yard Goats Stadium hoping to see some miraculous progress that will put my mind at ease on the future of the stadium.

Unfortunately, I'm just not seeing it. My fear is that we are constructing a hole in the ground that will be a money pit ,that we the taxpayers of Hartford will be throwing bags of cash into,( at least $4.5 million dollars per year)  for the next quarter of a Century.

The project just not seem to be realistic. The grocery store promised seems to be non -existent, the affordable housing seems to be out as the developer pushes for a hotel to be constructed.  Is any of this project outlined in a contract that is solid or is it just "play as we go" planning?

A little over 45 days from now, December 15th, is the date the Stadium Authority has set in their own minutes when the finished infield will be complete. The pitchers mound, the base layout, the sod should all be set by that date.

 With the current condition of the construction I just don't see it happening. And if the pictures from Saturday are any indication, sod is the last thing that will be happening to that field December 15th
.Picture the baselines somewhere in here, among the construction materials

ANGEL MORALES ...AGAIN

Second chances are important  in society, everyone makes mistakes. But 3rd, 4th , 5th and 6th chances.  Where do we draw the line and realize that some people just don't want to change or are unwilling to change? Angel Morales might be just one of those people.

Morales, a convicted felon, has had more than his share of opportunities to get his life in order, apparently to no avail. He was even given an opportunity in the State Legislature as a clerk with a Senate Committee. That apparently came to an end after an investigation by the State Capitol Police..

Now Morales is apparently be under scrutiny by the Office of the Attorney General . The case involves a referral by the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) regarding Morales 's refusal to pay back civil penalties regarding missing funds from his unsuccessful run for the legislature and funds from the Citizen's Election fund that were unaccounted for by Morales and his campaign Treasurer. The amount in question was detailed in a complaint filed and heard by SEEC was $19, 381.85. As part of that decision Morales and his Treasurer Jason Lopez were ordered  to pay fines totaling $10,000 and $5,000.00 respectively.

Apparently those fines have not been paid and SEEC now wants to refer the matter and collection and enforcement to the Attorney General.

Morales was recently paid at least $5,000.00 dollars by the Hartford Democratic Town Committee, according to paperwork filed, for election efforts.

GRAND JURY SUBPOENA'S DELIVERED TO CITY HALL FOR DILLON RECORDS

It is moving quick. Word came down today that a Federal Grand Jury has been convened to look into the Dillon Stadium deal. It seems just a few short weeks ago when Councilman Kennedy was force feeding us this wonderful project, and now it is the focus of the Feds.

I would imagine there are many sleepless nights in the Scarborough Street /Terry Road area over these developments. I guess time will tell, who knew what and when did they know it and who was paid what for their votes to move the deal forward.

Stand by for the next developments.

DETAILING THE DILLON STADIUM CONCERNS

Although it appears that Thom Deller and the majority of those at City Hall were unfamiliar with fact checking and Google, luckily the City Council's attorney was. Below is the letter sent by Allan Taylor to Council President Shawn Wooden and Councilman Ken Kennedy outlining his concerns.


It is unclear why the full Council wasn't advised, but maybe those who have the most to lose were first on the list.


Much more to come out I am sure.


I apologize for the "we the people" watermark through the document, but I am getting a little tired of posting documents and others taking them as their own. At least now they will have to do a little work to get them on their own.
