Anonymous, maybe it's your opinion of Kevin that has changed. Kevin calls it likes he sees it. Just because he had initial faith and support in Pedro to fix Perez's mess doesn't mean he is a Pedro ally.

Let's face it.This mayor is not a bad person, but he doesn't really have a passion to be the mayor.It is nice to have but if not,..well so be it. Perez on the other hand lived to be the mayor. We need someone who really wants this job. This guy is probably better as a councilman. He is just not strong enough to be a mayor.

Perez had a lust for power, not a passion to be the city leader. He had zero respect or integrity for his elected position. There's a big difference.

I agree. We need someone with passion and integrity. Pedro has no passion.

I disagree. If there is someone that has compassion for the people of Hartford it is Pedro Segarra. Unfortunately the "feel good" things are only part of the Mayor's job. He needs to also be able to make the difficult decisions and that's where his weakness lies. He has not made the tough decisions to clean City Hall, he can't make the tough calls when it comes to telling someone they aren't performing up to expectations and a key to any management position is that you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with and that should explain a lot when it comes to Mayor Segarra.

The passion Pedro had for the job and the people of Hartford was what started him out on such a high note with most of us. He was at any critical incident whether it was a fatal accident which killed a young girl, the shooting of a police officer or fires that displaced residents, he was there. But combined with that people wanted to see change and very little of that has happened.

Although the Mayor is passionate about the city, he is not the right person for a strong mayor form of government. COO David Panagore is doing a decent job and has been shaking some things up. The early retirement got rid of some deadwood and now it is time for city to hire decent department heads to fill all the vacancies including MHIS.

The Mayor needs to step up, hang out with the COO and develop some strong management skills. If not he will be good and decent figurehead, which is not what the city needs right now.
