From Dan Tepfer, CT Post:
It was a large and angry crowd that filled a Main Street courtroom Wednesday afternoon hoping to see a judge order a Stratford Avenue social club shut down for being blight on the neighborhood.
But the crowd only got angrier when its members heard that the state’s top prosecutor–who had been requested to take up the case to shut the club down–had instead made a deal allowing it to remain open.
“This is not right; this is not right,” they complained, only to be answered from across the courtroom by one of the club’s owner, David Ellerby.

The old boys from the Anvil Smoke Shop and Leroy’s Newsroom would never let this happen back in the day!
Outrageous deal made by the prosecutor–if that club were in any other neighborhood, it would be shut down.
It’s bad enough a club like this is allowed to exist in any neighborhood, but why is the blight known as Newton in his blight outfit in the photo?
Simple, a photo op to give the illusion he really cares. He is only interested in his ego and to get back into the state limelight. Hopefully his opponents can convince the local populace he is what he has always been. A fraud.
