Malloy: I Will Not Forget

November 23rd, 2010 · 54 Comments · City Politics

June 21st, 2010 · 18 Comments · Analysis and Comment, City Politics, Library, State Politics

An interesting configuration of local pols, sometimes friends, sometimes not, are lining up behind their respective Democratic candidates for governor.

It’s So Joe, The Return Of Ganim, Plus: Mario’s Mission And It Ain’t Just Bread Ned

January 22nd, 2010 · 25 Comments · Analysis and Comment, City Council, City Politics, News and Events, State Politics

Welcome home, Joe. Full disclosure: I was Joe Ganim’s campaign manager. Private sector clients paid me a nice buck because of my relationship with him. Joe wanted a piece of the action. I screwed up. Joe and I had a falling out in the fall of 1999 because I decided not to play ball anymore. I [...]
