Kevin check the payouts in the Treaurers office and you will see millions given to Cloud's financial donors of his campaign.

Mr Dibella...forget talking to the endorsed democrats in order to convince them to elect a President of the Council before the election,we have already organized against that.

City Treasurer or Non Profit Development Officer? Do your job!

The more things change the more they stay the same!

Anyone that thinks the need for change is not here does not fully understand the depths of corruption that has a firm grip on the city.

This is just one more reason all powers are being used to keep me out of city hall. I have given in kind production work to nonprofits in excess of $100,000.00 in the last 4 years. Never did I call upon the banks to do what is incumbent upon me to do myself.

That is how you Damn sure make sure non-profits get the help they need. You do it by doing it, not through bully tactics and abusing the power of your office.

Hey DKR for Mayor, wait, he f upped the Dept. , why not the city. He can't do any worse than what we have in there now, DKR for Mayor. Or maybe he can be one if the Bow Ties new assistants. Yeah, let him retire then bring him back under a different division so he cab get a paycheck plus his pension, like the recent group of "returnees"(aka) retirees.
Oh wait, does Pedro need the northend votes no because he's basically eliminated his competition with false promises and deals that fall through as soon as he gets what he wants. Hartford politics is a dirty as the dirty under an auto mechanics finger nails and sketcher than a stick figure.

Kevin you should FYI the auditors report for that office. It would be shocking to citizens to know the city books have not been balance on a yearly basic. Do we really need a Treasurer? A study should be done to determine if this position is really need. Most of the functions done in that office can be done by the finance department. Employee pensions could be done by the city personnel department.

"Post nubila phoebus". Is it a coincidence? We could certainly use some sun here to shed the light of day on these shady (okay, cloudy) dealings. Ah, yes, Segarra is doing a fine job with transparency.

Explains why my wife is now getting calls to attend candidate events. She was lierally ignored even though she is an endorsed Republican candidate for Treasurer. All of a sudden we're getting calls at the house asking for her contact information. News has spread and, it seems, there may be blood on the water.

Michael,

Good to see someone on the Republican Town Committee actually has a voice. I guess it is mhard for your Town Chair to speak out when he is cutting his endorsement deals with the Democrats.

Just wondering though, why would the Republican's endorse the Democrat candidate when they have a Treasurer candidate of their own running? That doesn't seem to foster any real motivation for Republicans to even attempt to run knowing your own Town Chair will sell you out

She was asked to run because she's highly qualified for the position, but was willing to step aside for the good of the party. Now that the Democrats have decided to reject the endorsement she is actively running. The mayor did state a preference that she not stay on the slate, but understands and respects her decision to run. Given what's about to happen with the Cloud news, she just went from afterthought to contender and she's ready to go.

Interesting that Michael Fryar said that Mayor Segarra stated that his wife not stay on the Republican slate, Is Pedro Segarra the chairman of the Republican Party? Why after the three Democratic councilmen Kennedy, Aponte, Andersen and Treasurer Cloud turn down the cross-endorsement is Pedro Segarra still on it? Is there something the public needs to know? Does Pedro Segarra realize without the Democratic Party he would have no rights!

Dear Anonymous 6:12 PM

Pedro has cut a deal with the Republicans, what do you expect?When Mr Fryar stated " Pedro has stated a preference that she ( his wife) not stay on the slate..." is prrof positive that Pedro is now running both parties.

If the republicans win the minority you should expect them to push for their typical republican agenda of pro life,against gay marriage,trimming back local civil rights ordinances,and other tea party agenda items.This will be done as Pedro sits on the MetroAlliance Board and will receive his orders from his corporate masters.

Dear Tea Party Pedro:

I'm voting for the republicans because I'm alot more worried about the prospect of the Working Families party spending our city into the ground (which they have done for the past four years)than the City Council being persuaded by three republicans to somehow pass pro-life and anti-gay marriage city ordinances - what planet do you hail from?

The WFP didnt control the spending at city hall. The spending was controlled by the 6 council majority democrats that you and your ilk have now made a pact with.So go blame your partners for the prolificate spending.

Interesting how someone would quote Nicole Plessy-Cloud as an accounting wiz in the Hartford Courant's editorial then why the ten years of bad audit reports. Now that Mrs. Plessy-Cloud was transferred to the Finance dept. who then will assure that the Custody of Funds unit will proceed with positive audit reports moving forward. Isn't it wise to say that someone with an accounting background and major would be the wise choice.
