  1. Speaking of symbols, I see this press conference for Port Day was set up behind a back drop of a statue. I am sure there was symbolization. I just watched Frank R report on Port’s identity. I would be a disservice to Port and is history. How it is even an option is beyond me from every angle including the developer, except Jeff Gold Coast.

    It is an iconic beacon and advertisement to the Port and to whatever is going to be redeveloped om that parcel of land. No business person/investor would destroy that, if there true intentions are to reinvent, promote, the Port as well as capitalize from the preservation adversative of the the handmake.

    But to Jeff’s Point there are people, side who are willing to cut the Port in half, where money, investment is tool. I mean is not this event an a expression to promote the Port in Hartford in it investment in the Port and people?

    P.S the Prophet, prefer to use the carrot but it dose carry a stick. JS, outside/insider investors with ill intent with their invested developments of the Port.

    Not bad for Port Day in Hartford, wondering how many Port DCT members took advantage to tour the Capitol, if there was a push/effort made to made it a junket for them by the DCT? Rep Brown seems to stress, “racial” inequality. Perhaps by design or a set up/prelude for a run against “Caucasian” G2 🙂

    It seems State Rep, Brown took a page out of the racial identity and tax the rich, pay your far share Demarcate Liberal racial playbook.

    You can’t just invoke black and brown inequality, well you can’t on an emotional base sentiment, but how genuine is it when the issues is state school funding?

    I mean, while invoking Bridgeport support/promotion I get, being Port Day in Hartford in front of Bridgeporters, But, Hartford has the same majority, minority, black and brown make up in its public schools as the Port public schools system. However, Hartford’s Public Schools system, its black and brown students are getting far more funding then the Port’s black and brown students (I believe that is the case) So it is disingenuous to call out whiteness, making state school funding for cities racial issue. JS

    To be fair, Perhaps it is not black and brown, minorities more than coded sides? What say you people, black and brown or coded sides?

    At any rate, on the more positive note, at least the Port is investing, developing an infrastructure for its school system for its students and facility/teachers. To bad the short short-sightedness BBOE powers at be, squander, pilfered the millions from the Covid-19 windfall. (Just my Opinion)
