Kevin...on another related area ...there appears to be a "culture of corruption" within the political system in Hartford.First we had Perez and now Robles and we now also have others within the political system under active investigation from one federal or state agency or another, to the point where statewide democratic candidates are hesitant to come into Hartford and campaign.One statewide candidate told me that the candidate avoids Hartford like the plague in fear of being held up by political folks for money or other emoluments.

It seems to me that the Chair of the HDTC should call a meeting of the party to discuss how we got to where we are and how best to get the political system cleaned up.If we as a party refuse to talk about these events and continually bury our heads in the sand, then the situation within the overall political system will only get worse.


I think part of the problem here is the lack of intestinal fortitude of many within the political process.Recently as I tried to engage town committee members and elected officials about our corruption problem I found many unwilling to discuss the situation or afraid too.This lack of balls was apparent as I went around all sections of the City.Perhaps a party generated meeting to discuss the corruption problem will be the start of a broader and more lasting discussion of this culture of corruption in Hartford.

As to Hector Robles...

1.When the report is made public Hector should invite the public and especially the town committee and citizens within his district to ask him questions on why he apparently lied or mispoke or refused to answer questions when he went before the 6th district town committee just a month ago.Also questions will need to be answered from the report itself, after it is released to the public.This meeting should be open to the public and held in a public place,like a school.

2. He should carefully weigh the terrible ensueing publicity that he and Hartford will receive from here on and do the right thing.The right thing may well be his resignation as a town committee member and a resignation as state representative, which will allow him more time to prepare for his defense as we understand that the report itself has been sent to the Hartford Chief State's Attorney for their investigation and possible action.If he cares at all about the democratic party and Hartford he would be well advised not To "hang around" and take the coming "hits" that will only precipatate a drop off in democratic party support,which may mean that the individual running as an independant might well beat him in Novmber.

2.If he is found guilty at his hearing on 9/20/10 he should resign any elected posts that he holds,if he hasnt already resigned from them.

As an amplification of my 1st post above;

If the chair of the HDTC doesn't wish to call a meeting to discuss the rampant corruption problem in Hartford, there is provision in the local party rules for 20 town committee members to call a "special meeting" for that purpose.

kevin:
the numerous questions you ask in this column point to the answer that we (those who live or used to live in hartford) all already know: the problem is systemic, rampant and at all levels (top to bottom). of course, there are good people at hpd and it sucks for them, but you know and i know, we all have our stories of ineptitude from the hpd.

Anonymous,

Did you mean "Kevin" or "Kelvin"? since you work at City Hall, you probably should be doing something better with your time. In case you don't know, even "anonymous" posts are tracked and the IP address and related info are logged with every posting.

And to reply to your stupid comments, I could never have anything to do with someone who still lives at home with his mother, especially at that age.

I love the way this guy Bruce has conversations with himself. He is constantly writing writing and writing, does he feel it makes him a "hero" of some sort? Makes him look like a loser with no life. Oh wait that is what he is. As long as he gets him name printed he feels big. Everything is I talked, I interviewed, I called. I, I, I, WE KNOW ABOUT YOU, AND THE REAL TRUTH. We the real people of Hartford want to see the "cleaning up of house in Hartford", but first you must go.

Maybe we were ignoring your request to clean up the "corruption" because you are not the most honest person to discuss this with.

Lets call for a "special meeting", haa what a laugh, a special meeting for "special" people.
