07/30/10 CT POLITICAL UPDATE: Senior Citizens Mad At Gubernatorial Candidate Dan Malloy


Senior Citizens Left Waiting

Heartless Dan Malloy Ignores Hartford’s North End Senior Center


Democratic candidate for governor, Dan Malloy, must be absent minded, because he was supposed to stop by Hartford’s North End Senior Center yesterday tomeet with seniors and share his plans for supporting our elderly population

Dan Malloy never showed up and no one from his staff called to explain why.

The director of the center, Karen Bailey Addison had to be told by a reporter that Dan Malloy had cancelled his plans to meet with seniors.

Seniors who had been waiting for Malloy's arrival for hours were very upset and center director Karen Bailey Addison told the press “I don’t like being blindsided like that.”

Dan Malloy was scheduled to be at the center at 12: 15 p.m. after a stop at a senior center in East Hartford, according to an press advisory.

another reporter from The Hartford Courant showed up the North End Senior center as well, only to be given the news: there was no Dan Malloy.

” I’m really disappointed,’ said Doc Hurley, who was left hold the bag with the other seniors.

Hurley added “Tell him he missed a very important crowd.”

The Malloy campaign accepted no responsibility for upsetting the seniors.

In fact Dan Malloy's people seemed to blame the center's director, Karen Bailey Addison for the screw up that angered the senor citizens.

Malloy’s campaign scheduler Michael Mandell said the North End was never on the list slated for the area.

“We wouldn’t want to show up without contacting the center first,” Mr.Mandell said

The Malloy campaign said there was no plans to reschedule a visit to Hartford’s North End Senior Center.

07/30/10 Richard Blumenthal Responds to Peter Schiff Ad, But Doesn’t Give All the Facts

Schiff for Senate
Schiff for Senate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 29, 2010

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Blumenthal Responds to Schiff Ad, But Doesn't Give All the Facts


HARTFORD COURANT (July 29): "Except Blumenthal doesn't support taxpayer-funded bailouts, says Blumenthal campaign manager Mindy Myers…."

The Blumenthal campaign needs to conduct a fact check, however, as the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate has gone on the record in support of newspaper bailouts:

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal asserted: "The newspaper is an information lifeline. It provides really an essential service." Among the "essential services" Blumenthal thinks taxpayers should prop up: marriage notices and school sports announcements. ("Say No to Newspaper Bailouts." National Review. December 3, 2008.)

Further, the Nutmeg State's Attorney General has yet to inform Connecticut about his position on the federal government's bailout of General Motors, Chrysler, and Fannie and Freddie. As Myers emphasized in Thursday's Hartford Courant blog post, Blumenthal does not support TARP, and neither does Peter Schiff, but that says nothing about the other government bailouts he has endorsed – or the ones he refuses to oppose.

Dick Blumenthal owes Connecticut an answer.

Follow this link to watch Schiff for Senate's new TV Ad 'Kick'.


###

In 2006, businessman Peter Schiff warned of a coming financial crisis. Now, Peter sees the same problems repeating themselves in Washington. As Connecticut's Senator, he will stop Washington's spending binges that destroy jobs and lead to higher taxes. Born in New Haven, Peter lives in Fairfield County, where he raises his seven-year-old son.

07/29/10 We Report You Decide: Did Stamford Fire and Rescue Chief Robert McGrath Get His Promotion After Working On Dan Malloy's House?

Robert McGrath was a Stamford firefighter working three days on, three days off.

On Robert's days off he operated a small heating and air-conditioning business to make ends meet.

Then this Stamford fireman got his big break....

Robert got the chance to do heating and air-conditioning duct work on the120-year-old barn that Stamford Mayor Dan Malloy was transforming into a house.

Robert also did many jobs for several of Dan Malloy's brothers.

Dan Malloy chose to use Richard who was on the Stamford City payroll to work on his future home even though there are hundreds of Heating And Air- Conditioning contractors with in a 30 minute drive of his home.

A short time after that Richard was promoted to Assistant Stamford Fire And Rescue Chief and then soon after that was appointed as the Stamford Fire and Rescue Chief.

Stamford Fire and Rescue Chief Robert McGrath later told Stamford Advocate reporter Louis Porter that the work on Dan Malloy's home did not have anything to do with his advancement to Assistant Fire Chief and later Fire Chief.

Another contractors who did work on Dan Malloy's Ocean Drive East house was Rick Sharper.

Rick told The Associated Press he got the job and dealt with Marc Lyons, a friend of Malloy who was involved in hiring city employees and contractors to work on then Mayor Dan Malloy's house.

Rick said after he did work on the mayor’s house Marc Lyons later arranged a lot of work for him at city high schools.

Marc Lyons, who was a Malloy family friend was the construction manager at Stamford High School and after the Mayor's house was completed he became manager of all of the city and school facilities in Stamford..

Stamford Board Of Finance Member Joesph Tarzia was quoted in the press saying, "The Malloy administration has reduced controls over city purchasing. Malloy dismantled the internal audit department”
