Sometimes, Things Happen in 3's...


Some things never change.

Two days ago, Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez was arrested for allegedly accepting a bribe from a City Contractor. Today, Mayor April Almon Capone of East Haven was arrested for alleged interference with a police officer.

Given the overly cozy relationship between Himself and Baybrook Remodelers (not to mention "Fast Eddie" Marcus), and the seemingly frosty relationship between Himself and our Chief of Police...and the rampant nepotism now occurring in City employment, I certainly hope the third picture isn't something like this:


Curiously, I have heard rumors of some sort of investigation...but you know this town: there are always these rumors. Nothing ever seems to come from it.

Let's just hope this rumor is the same.....

CLARIFICATION: Rumors, rumors...everyone has rumors. The latest is that I stated that the Mayor would be arrested on Wednesday. This is untrue (though I'd be the last person told of such an event). I expect a big development this week, though...just not of the legal kind. (Sept 8, 2009)

Hi Bob, not sure if you read the article in the NH Register today about the West Shore Fire District hiring 3 more firefighters. Is this what our tax increase was increase for? I though it was to fund the pensions? I bet they are all lieutenants by next year.

If they are investigating Picard lets hope they nab him before the property tax valuations are done and finalized!

Anon #2 - If they really aren't investigating him, they just might start after a story that should hit on Wednesday....
