Ah' now we know why HPD has been dragging their feet and letting Robles work on the streets during all this. Looks like Chief Roberts is at a crossroad. Open an IAD case on 11 cops or try to save face and his friends by discrediting Robles claim.

The following comment is a tangental topic. Did anyone happen to read Cornell Lewis's commentary about the convicted mayor in the West Indian American newspaper? If not, you can read it on-line @

Lewis actually compares the felon to Jesus. You'll have to read it for yourselves, but for me, I have to say I've never read something so blashemously ridiculous. LOL.

Kevin, any idea how Robles came up with 11 other cops? It sounds like a possible time card fraud conspiracy by a group of cops.

Yup, there are plenty of guys that did the same thing as Robles. But they are in good standing with the upstairs, so they, and their supervisors wont be touched. WHO ARE THE OTHER ELEVEN DARYL?

The editorial is a warning to Pedro and the Council...get off your collective asses and protect us from political predators and leeches !!!!!

Pedro...say something about Eddie,rose and henessey getting jobs from Hartford organizations, it doesnt help if you comfort someone who's house was on fire while some leech like Henessey gets a job while you arent looking.

Hartford is a stinking cesspool of corruption,crime and political types turning their heads while political prostitutes rip us off.

There now appear to be several characters receiving, directly or indirectly, City money (an ex-mayor, an ex-chief-of-staff, an ex-corporation counsel), and potentially another ex-chief-of-staff. Besides declaring that these engagements don't look or smell good, at least one of us (NOT anonymously) on Council who is not a lawyer would be interested in references for specific ethics code (municipal or state level) and legal violations that could be invoked for specific actions in these embarassing sorry episodes.

Councilman Deutsch:
The ethics code appears to be silent on the matter of city officials taking jobs with entities funded by the city. Does prohibit former employees from using or disclosing confidential info. Does prohibit for period of time representing entities before the city.
On the other hand, I do think it reasonable to consider Sec. 2-902(A) with respect to the actions of Veronica Airey-Wilson. "Nor shall the individual engage in any financial dealings with any person whose activities are regulated or supervised by the individual's department, board, commission, or agency or accept a gift from such persons."

What are Hartford's children to think...?
-----------------------------------
Aside from the fact that there's not a single kid who knows who Robles/Airey are, it would appear they have other things to think about. The below from Jeff Cohen, Wnpr.
-----------------------------------
...David Medina is the spokesman for schools superintendent Steven Adamowski. In an email to WNPR, he said that whatever bullying took place with the 12-year-old boy didn’t happen in the school and that the alleged bullies were too old to be students at Burns.

Adamowski gave a bit more detail in an email to city Councilman Jim Boucher. In that email, the superintendent says he suspected that one or more of the bullies could be from Bulkeley High School. He also said he doesn't yet know whether the bullies were part of a neighborhood gang, but he was clear that there is no gang activity at Burns School itself.

The incident with the 12-year-old boy wasn’t the only thing happening after school at Burns that day. Police say a school bus was passing by just after three o'clock when students on the bus and on the street started arguing. A short distance later, some students tried to force their way onto the bus. A bit further along was a group of children with hoodies up, throwing rocks at the bus and breaking a window...
...The incidents at Burns School come just over a month after a crowd of students gathered at the heart of downtown for an afterschool fight that police said was like a mob scene.

I want to thank Peter Brush right away for helpful information. We who are there truly to "represent" don't always have enough experience or facts at hand or even know from whom in government to get reliable information. So outside comments are key for a truly democratic (small 'd') process.

You are welcome.
Take my advice with a pinch of salt, and value it at what you paid for it, but I do think it would be valuable if the facts in the Airey/Wilson case were established by our muni authorities, and if she were to receive at least some sort of reprimand. I really don't think her actions should simply be ignored by our city govt., even though the criminal court was willing to grant her probation without a trial.
