Bridgeport Police is alerting the general public to “an extremely dangerous” jail escapee on the loose.

The public is being advised to lock all doors and windows and be on the alert. No description of the suspect as of yet. I got my rusty machete ready!

Did I hear “Cut”? My favorite subject! Let me take Mr. Ramos back over a year ago to an appropriations decision made by the Bridgeport City Council and signed by Mayor Bill Finch. After years of delays and set-backs by a certain contractor selected by the Board Of Education to remodel the Parent Center on Boston Avenue, the Bridgeport City Council passed a resolution to appropriate $650,000 for the completion of the Parent Center remodeling project.

The Council didn’t just appropriate the money–it amended the resolution to require that the B.O.E. refund the $650,000 at $65,000 per year for ten (10) years to the city. It is clear that the City Council and Mayor Bill Finch “Cut” this deal! Prior to the City Council’s action, the original contractor of the Parent Center remodeling project bilked the B.O.E. for close to $1 Million and never came close to completing the project.

I never heard Supt. Ramos say a word about the contractor bilking the city, let alone returning the money. I didn’t hear Ramos object to the City Council approving the appropriation of the $650,000 for the Parent Center remodeling project and forcing the B.O.E. to refund the city. Why is it that it’s OK for a contractor to bilk the B.O.E./City; the City Council to intervene by appropriating funds that fall under the responsibility of the B.O.E., but it is wrong for city officials and the B.O.E. to enter into an agreement with city school nurses? Perhaps Ramos should look at the nurses as contractors and order the payroll department to pay the nurses. Mr. Ramos, I understand that you didn’t “cut” the deal. But just “cut” the bullshit and pay the nurses.
