Kevin Brookman is saying "Bronin Re-election Fund."
Sounds more like "Bronin Resignation Fund."

Brookman... whoever posted that should be the mayor of Hartford. That's the kind of imagination we need around here !

The only good thing is that if Hillary had been elected, Bronin and the real Mayor Sara would have been out of here, or so they had thought. The Bronin's an the Malloy's could have shared a moving van to get out of CT

If Clinton had been reelected, Malloy would have been smelling Washington springtime tulips. Bronin would have sniffed the governor's old chair. But you go on and on about how much a bad boy Bronin is. He did one wrong but big wrong; Instead of trying to negotiate directly with the unions, he went to the legislative side and thereby, created a permanent negative. I am not one of his chair leaders by any means. But understand, those who bring news of defeat are themselves, defeated.

What can he do? Not much. He inherited a 70-90 million debacle expense and now, no surrounding town has any sympathy for Hartford. The slum movement in Hartford has for all intent and purposes, become one contiguous plain. He is in a thankless position. You keep harping on his ambitions. Frankly, every mayor has had such ambitions. It is unfair of you to heap this repeated acqusation.

The fact is that the state has no money at the same time that the city has none. What would you do? Unions fought hard to have a good conditions as possible through the decades. They did their jobs. It is very hard to take away these gains. But the gains are non conforming to present economic circumstances. I can't understand why anyone would be offered a pension before the age of 65. Sixty fricken five. As a business owner, I work until I croak. Retirement pensions are only means to get another job while collecting. This concept, in my opinion, has been corrupted a long time ago. I have been around city employees and do you realize that the main topic of conversation is always about how much time (along with vacation time) they are earning?

Bottom line; Hartford is continuing on a downward spiral. More dysfunctional and dispossessed live here then ever before. Hartford is fortunate that there is a relatively vibrant downtown. But downtown cannot pay for the rest of the city. And frankly, there is not one reason a company would want to move to Hartford. And there never will be. Well, maybe a dirt-moving business.

We all sound like a gaggle of ducks being threatened as the water pond becomes smaller. I am one and so are you. Frankly, if those employees no longer want to work for less benefits, there is a long line waiting to take their places.

I think we should look at the politicians pensions first. Full pensions for as little as 4 years of service. Most of them do a horrible job. This governor is going to collect a pension for running the state into the ground, for 8 years of service.
