News release from Mayor Bill Finch:
Mayor Bill Finch will join Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra to introduce Vice President Joe Biden at a conference on gun violence to be held on Thursday at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
“I’m very honored to stand together with First Selectman Llodra to introduce the Vice President at tomorrow’s gun violence conference at WestConn. I want to applaud the bold steps President Obama and Vice President Biden are taking to enact the most sweeping changes in gun legislation in more than 40 years. The tragedy in Newtown touched everyone’s hearts. Now is the time to demand a plan that will make our children–in the suburbs and on the streets of our cities safer. Thank you to Senators Blumenthal and Murphy and Rep. Esty for their leadership in putting together this important program focusing on reducing gun violence, and mental health and school safety initiatives.”
Too bad we have to endure such a schmuck at such an important affair.
Too bad it is two schmucks at such a BS affair.

Tougher but unenforced gun laws did not work out here or in Brazil or Russia. We should try it again and again and again. Eventually the lawless will start following the rules and it will work. Until then, the rest of us are just under the gun.
This is an important meeting and we are lucky Bridgeport will be represented by our Mayor. This blog has become a real drag with incessant attacks on Finch. Sometimes the attacks are warranted. There is not a political campaign going on and these disrespectful attacks are really a downer. Although the occasional badinage is humorous, it starts sounding like Fox news talking about Obama. OKAY time for Jimmy Kimmel. I need a few laughs.
Steve–Sorry if the truth about the state of our city, state and union hurts you so much. You should try to be a good Democrat and bury your head in the sand and stick to watching the cartoon network. It is important to stay ignorant, poor and vote Democrat.
Thank you BOE SPY. I TAKE IT FOR GRANTED YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN .GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! I like to think I am a well-informed Democrat. I watch Fox news for comedy relief. I do not attack politicians based on their affiliation. But Republicans have done everything possible to make themselves into a joke and that is why it will be a long time before we see a Republican in Bridgeport or President. Listening to Republicans has become as vomitous as listening to Pope Benedict or the KLu Klux KLan. THE MORE YOU LET THEM TALK THE MORE OUT OF TOUCH THEY APPEAR.
*** Political facts are better than character assassinations when it comes to overall opinions about the Park City Mayor. There are plenty facts past & present available, no? Also curious how other pols in general in CT or outside the state view the city of Bpt. and its Mayor when present at these political affairs.( Is he the Mayor of “Zombieland,” wow!) *** HEY WESTCOM, “HERE WE GO!” ***
Finch is trying to divert attention from his pitiful performance during the storm and his atrocious record on gun violence. The only thing he has done is buy back unused guns from people that have probably been sitting in people’s closets instead of going after the people dealing in these weapons … Do we need better gun control laws? Yes … but Finch has done nothing about that … when he was in the state senate he was too busy allowing the electric companies to jack up our rates to bother with public safety.
Let’s see if Mayor Finch can outdo his performance when he made a fool of himself when he introduce President Obama and said, “guest who’s coming to dinner?”
I give up! Who?
*** Let’s hope Finch hasn’t “Biden” more than he can chew during the V/P introduction, no? ***
