For All My Deserving Friends

December 19th, 2008 · 23 Comments · Analysis and Comment, Development and Zoning

Ho, ho, ho. Or should it be ha, ha, ha? Time to fill the annual OIB stocking stuffers for those city, state and national pols who’ve been naughty and nice, although I prefer to salute the naughty. First up, a gold-plated plow for Mayor Bill Finch, plus anchovy pizza (Bill loves anchovy) with San Marzano tomatoes for the [...]

December 19th, 2008 · 15 Comments · Analysis and Comment, News and Events

I just don’t know what all the fuss is about with IL Guv Blago demanding grease for appointing Barack’s U.S. senate replacement. I mean the guy wanted to get paid. So? It’s as if the governor was saying Okay, boys, line up, I’m a whore but what pol isn’t? No time to waste, step right [...]

Looks like the sewage deal that Mayor Bill Finch has tentatively solidified with Trumbull and Monroe might back up into hizzoner’s office.

December 15th, 2008 · 42 Comments · City Budget, City Council, Development and Zoning, News and Events

Talk about the shit hitting the fan. The three-town sewage deal that appears to be ironed out by the chief elected officials of Bridgeport, Trumbull and Monroe could face a showdown between Mayor Bill Finch and the City Council with Democratic Town Chair Mario Testa fanning the flames.

The City’s Bank Job, Plus: Don’t Lie To Big Daddy

December 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments · Development and Zoning, News and Events

The city’s placing the old Mechanics & Farmers building at Main and State for sale. Is it the right thing to do? Is it a fire sale? Has me wondering, though, what else can be sold.

This Is One Huge Load

December 12th, 2008 · 36 Comments · City Budget, City Council, Development and Zoning, News and Events

On Monday the chief elected officials of Bridgeport, Trumbull and Monroe will shoot the shit (in more ways than one) over a proposal to construct a new Jewish Home for the Elderly with all three towns carving up property taxes as a result of Monroe hooking into the Trumbull sewer line connected to Bridgeport’s mother [...]
