Thanks very much for your work in recording and posting.
I fell asleep about half way through the Mayor's technocratic rant, but very much enjoyed the vicious/humorous Gonzalez/Bey ones.

I think we need to find a few more Cotto's, the Board Cotto I mean. His honesty was refreshing although I would venture to guess that he is not very welcome around other Board members or at Adamowski's office.

In case you missed it Mayor Segarra mentioned the word "transparency" at least 10 times in his remarks. If it wasn't for the information on the bonuses being posted on here, none of this would have ever come up. Transparency is not just a catch phrase to be thrown about, it translates into real actions. This administration is far from transparent, just look at the pending FOI complaints against the City of Hartford.

Glad you like the video's Peter, I hope to make them a regular part of the blog, the comments from Gonzalez, Kirkley-Bey and the rest will mean more when you can actually see them than me writing a quote from their remarks.

Be careful what you wish for Kevin. It's very well known that the Board Cotto and the council Cotto are good friends and that board Cotto was council Cotto's handpicked guy for BoE. Heck, board Cotto even identified council Cotto in his video as the first person to ask for the bonus info. They're all a bunch of union loving hacks. I could do with zero Cotto's thank you.

Board Cotto

He appears thoughtful and well-spoken.
Don't understand why he's testifying to these folks as if to an investigative inquiry. He would appear to know just as much about the bonuses as the wise, but pissed, ladies of the inquisition. But, at the end of the day, what he says is we should continue to ask questions. Call the State Dept. of Ed. of which Cotto is an agent.

Don't know that any medium can make their comments mean anything, their vapidity has more impact with pictures/sound. Thanks.

I would agree with The Big Guy at the top, she has no class.

There is no way that Kirkley-Bey (on her own) has that much juice to stop ECS funding from coming into Hartford. She has been there for a long time and that district needs new ideas, new blood, new leadership. Folks there should make sure that she is not re-elected again.

Gonzales has a lot of nerve stomping her feet/pointing her finger at Board/Super over "inappropriate" bonuses.
-----------------------------------
In 2008, Ivan Maldonado, one of Hartford Democratic state Rep. Minnie Gonzalez's sons, filled out a job application.

It would not be accurate to say that Maldonado completed an application. The space provided for disclosure of criminal convictions is preceded by the notation that the "questions will be considered for examination/employment purposes if relevant to the position for which you are applying." Maldonado, 33, shared only a sliver of the wide swath of convictions he's accumulated.
