  1. OMG I would not have recognized him on the street. Patrick was on top of the world during the early years of the Ganim administration. What the hell happened?

  2. Lennie, how did Patrick O. Coyne get to serve as Ganim’s chief of staff?

    This is unbelievable that Coyne is under arrest for allegedly sexually abusing the young daughter of a former Bridgeport City Hall intern.

    I wish the best to this young child and her family.

  3. Sad, isn’t it. How politically connected convicted felons can’t seem to stay out of continued criminal activity. All the more reason why the politically ambitious convicted felon, Ernest “T,” should not be taken seriously for political office.
