People are fed up with Perez and his dictatorial style. Since Mathews announced, Hartford employees have been threatened with termination if they fail to stand with Eddie. Contractors have been offered financial incentives to step up - he even strong-armed a nonprofit, saying he was using photos to imply support whether the nonprofit liked it or not. Mathews support goes beyond the North End, folks like the Sullivans and Carbone are coming on board.<BR/><BR/>Eddie's got a fight on his hands, and it's about time. The day of the dictator and mafioso tactics need to end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1166837596620137712006-12-22T20:33:00.000-05:002006-12-22T20:33:00.000-05:00I bring up Nappier's name because as I person rais...I bring up Nappier's name because as I person raised in the North-Ende, I can tell you without a doubt, she would get the African-American vote and if she's has that slot in her pocket, the mayor's chair is all hers.<BR/><BR/>All you need to do is give a reason for African-Americans to vote in Hartford and THEY'LL vote in HUGE numbers. There is little love for Perez among African-Americans for reason's I won't get into in this forum. Don't know about the laws if she vacates her seat mid-term but if I was her (with her family's popularity), I'd seriously think about it...very seriously.ctbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933171041442029176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1166734293227295702006-12-21T15:51:00.000-05:002006-12-21T15:51:00.000-05:00Bring Back Former Mayor Mike Peters or How about S...Bring Back Former Mayor Mike Peters or How about Soon to be Former State Rep Evelyn Mantilla.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1166733778175740512006-12-21T15:42:00.000-05:002006-12-21T15:42:00.000-05:00Nappier vs. Perez would be the matchup of 2007, if...Nappier vs. Perez would be the matchup of 2007, if she decided to run.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it wouldn't be.

Not a single one of them is doing it because they bring anyting special that makes them the right candidate for the city. Not a great way to build a future for Hartford. After this term, though, Simpson did a good job at identifying folks that have their own talents. Denise Nappier could still be a great choice too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
