I AM DISAPPOINTED



Yes, I am disappointed. The news by the Segarra Campaign that Sarah and Luke Bronin had allegedly concocted a scheme several years ago to get Sarah onto the Hartford Zoning Board. The plan, according to Segarra was devised to launch Bronin into the Mayor's Office, beginning with his wife's service to the people of Hartford.Yes, I am disappointed that this is the best Pedro Segarra could do..I am disappointed that an incumbent Mayor has so few accomplishments of his own , that he has to drag Sarah Bronin into the campaign. I am disappointed that Pedro attempted to undermine one of Hartford's brightest minds, as well as a very nice and genuine person, to try to boost his own image.

Sarah Bronin has proven herself in her own career as a very intelligent and capable professional. Any Mayor throughout this state would welcome the service of someone like Sarah to volunteer on a board or commission.Only a fool would call her service into question. Yes Pedro, I am calling you a fool.

I am also disappointed by Segarra's campaign dragging the Bronin children into the fray. The choice by the Bronin's to send their children to a private school was raised by Pedro's people. Why? Is that the best they can do? Is their anyone in their right mind that won't admit Hartford's Schools are far from where thy should be? I will give Segarra a few points here and say there has been some improvement under the current leadership, but the bar was very low to begin with. I think Superintendent Navarro has made improvements, but I think it is more about her leadership than it has anything to do with Pedro Segarra.

Any parent , the Bronin's included, I am sure want the best for their children to see them succeed for the future. To use their children as political pawns and put them in a Hartford School, when they know there is a much better option available to them, would be wrong. It might sell newspapers or make for a sensational blog posting by critics, but what parent could take the less than best choice for their Children?

It might be easy for a candidate without children to criticize the Bronin's choice of school, but I doubt there are many parents that would choose the less successful option if available.

We all want the best for the people we love and care about, and no one should be faulted for making the tough choice and doing what's best .I am pretty confident, if Pedro had children, they would leave the security of his Prospect Avenue compound , drive through the secured iron gates and their driver would  head to their private school. I doubt any of Pedro's hypothetical kids would be breathing PCB's at Clark School, even if it was politically correct. Although with his decision making, you never know( especially if it was an election year)

Yes, I am disappointed. Disappointed that our incumbent Mayor has so little of his own accomplishments that he has to raise these nonsensical smoke screens. I for one would welcome a Mayor who instead of putting caviar and champagne first, would put the future of his children first, regardless of the press coverage. I would welcome  Mayor  whose wife has the knowledge and experience to better our City and its neighborhoods with her service.

Pedro, if only your new handlers had arrived five years ago and coached you how to be a leader and a Mayor then, you might actually have a decent track record for your campaign, instead of the garbage you are dumping on us now

Our next Mayor, Mr. Luke Bronin, should be extra proud of the smart, talented lady he wakes up next to each and every moment!
Residents of the City of Hartford should be pround to have Mrs. Sarah Bronin as their First Lady in a few short months!

Let's see what's going on here:
Pedro is bringing his spouse Charlie, a corrupt manipulator.
Luke is bringing his spouse Sarah, an intelligent, fine, fine lady.
Now let us all see who is better...

I agree with both previous posters. The only thing I know about Charlie Ortiz is that he is Pedro Segarra's partner. I have never read anything of his accomplishments if there are any. I am quite impressed with Sarah Bronin and I think she would be way more of an asset to her husband as mayor as well as the City of Hartford than Charlie Ortiz ever was or could be.

Desperate, Pedro Peter Caviar AND Charlie O. are both desperate.

Just talk to Charlie, Pedro's husband, present and past tenants and how L&I under the current regime looked away.

I'm certain that Mr. and Mrs. Bronin EACH accomplished more than Mr. Segarra and Mr. Ortiz accomplished in their lifetime, or as 1:59pm anonymous indicated, "if Segarra/Ortiz ever accomplished anything."

3:59 That's right; obviously desperate people do desperate things.

I often disagree with you and don't care for you personally, but I agree with you on this one. Pedro's desperation is palpable.

License & Inspections gave Charlie Ortiz' properties, as well as Terry Walker's, free rides for years

Pedro is so desperate that he actually must have told his staff (Jalmar del Diablo and Lousy Goosey Figueroa to , just find anything, whatever, find something about his children and say something about his wife; just anything! Pedro has no backbone, no integrity, he is just a DESPERADO, ABUSADOR. All he has is a DOG so he does not understand what a parent has to go through to get the best education for their children and his spouse does not even have a job! Go find a great doggy daycare and get a job for Charlie.

I'm still trying to figure out who's behind this latest stupidity: Is it Charlie Ortiz, Michael Bland, is it Figueroa?
Whoever it is, all the dirty roads lead to Pedro.

You guys have to understand Segarra. He's been a mayor - well, at least he occupied a mayor's office - earned 3/4 of a million dollars during that time and tons of valuable benefits.
Now, if he goes back to his previous occupation, which basically was a failed law office - such a failure that at one point it ended in filing for bankruptcy protection. If Segara is returning to his old law firm, he's not going to be able to feed his dog
