Good job fire dept union. Hey vinny, that rat deal you made with segarra and cigna really worked out... Ehh I bet you will crawl into your rabbit hole to hide until you can collect that plump pension. Once again, thank you vinny, you are filth.
11:10 I can't do it on my own . Without great sources and people that are willing to call me and give me information I wouldn't know most of this. There are many good people out there that really want to see Hartford go in the right direction

City leaders are considering requesting legislation that would give Hartford the power to reopen union talks.
Sen. John Fonfara, D-Hartford, who attended the gathering, said he didn't want an outsider making critical decisions for the city. ------------------------------- The State imposed the school districts on the towns. The State imposed labor unions on the towns.

Whatever money Bronin is going to try and get back from the unions isn't going to change a thing. The real lost money is in City Hall. He wants to keep the focus on union contracts to not have the light shining on city hall. There should be Hartford political con artists going to jail. The city hasn't been funding the pension fund properly or the insurance plan for new hires. Before you ask for money back from the people who make their contributions you should get your own house in order.

You are being very naive. There are investigations ongoing which take a long time to conclude. These investigations are not public. frequently, organized labor over argues conditions, pay and benefits and local, state and federal employees are often offered more than private industry. And this disparity is NOT fair in the public interest who foots the costs. It is not the purpose of government to generously employ. That is not what government is supposed to do.
This time, for who the bell tolls, it tolls for thee; the public sector. If you don't like your shrinking benefit package, grow a brain and get creative and go into private business and take risks like we all do in the self-employed area.

How about all the Malloy team he brought in from Corp Counsel to Dept Heads, Deputies... this was the plan, the Malloy plan! We traded one puppet in for another puppet.Hartford was out foxed. Sorry to say the blacks that voted for him, the blind sheep, will have to look at the minority employees in the eye, when they get screwed, by Bronin/Malloy the Dream Team.
How"s Judge Killingly looking now? If he can't do the job, step down!

Where is the monthly union newsletter been? Did i miss it the last 2 years? I think we should auction off the union office to help the city out and make holton drive spare 9 to his hot yoga classes. Now that gps is active on car 13, lets see how much exhaust fumes can fill the garage at 20 sergeant street. You greedy 20 year guys sold us down the river.

Yes, March 11, 6:50 am you are correct about Sen. Fonfara. Fonfara also never takes a stand on anything especially when local Democrats are running for re-election. He is known as a man in hiding. His license plate dose not read Senator and did not when he was State Rep. For someone who has been in the legislature for over 20 years his district dose not know him. This is government at it best.

First the spelling; it is "does" not "dose." Second, John Fanfara my choose not to use a politically influential car plates because he DOESN'T want to court special privileges. My one complaint is that he doesn't always return messages. But his style is to listen and act on issues that are legitimate. I have made such suggestions thinking he had no interest with my comments only to read that he indeed, acted on the suggestions. No, John is not your average politican. He is better and I am quite content having him as my senator.
Sorry to throw water on your comments.

Before tonight's meeting with Hartford's Legislative delegation, Mayor Bronin made a few comments to the media. Here is the raw video of those remarks.
