What’s Mayor Bill Finch up to this week? Visiting school kids, delivering heating oil to the needy, building a community garden. Ain’t the power of incumbency great? Just about time for political baby kissing.

Funny how he could care less about people until election time.
Lennie, not to be a wise ass but who gives a shit what Finch is doing this week?
tc,
Maybe Lennie’s posting it for any stalkers who are out there.
tc, feel free to be a wise ass. I know I have a strange sense of humor, but it chuckles me (annoying to others) to see hizzoner so open with his schedule with the primary on the horizon.
Finch sounds like Frank Lucas (“American Gangster”) who shows up Thanksgiving to give out turkeys to his constituents so they like him, without caring that he’s taking advantage of them and milking the system dry.
tc, you’re absolutely correct. Finch is just another fly and a leech on the governmental system and should be done away with. He has done nothing for Bridgeport except milk the system like all the others who work in the administration of most municipalities.
He IS a poster boy for term limits.
The inmates are running the asylum while Finch is in full campaign mode.
Maybe with Finch out of the office and in full lying mode the city will get a break for a short period of time. BTW has he looked to see how many people in his administration have not paid their taxes? Has he checked to see how many of his appointees have not paid their taxes? Has he taken a look to see how many elected officials have not paid their taxes? The answer to those questions is NO. Has he paid his taxes?
tc, have you or your candidate the answer to your question? I’m sure it would be interesting to see.
We will continue to highlight the Bridgeport downtown historic district blight on Middle Street, where windows are open to the weather. Also we will discuss the current zoning issue regarding certain types of establishments. Some say Bridgeport doesn’t have any scruples. Others disagree.
And now, a little happy news … Happy Birthday today to Bob Dylan.
Yessiree Jasper! Right here from Desolation Row.
