In a totally predictable fashion, Mayor Eddie Perez announced his campaign. And just as predictably, the Courant runs its usual laudatory crap that lacks an ounce of critical thinking.

Sure, they mention his opponents, but then totally detract from any issues by instead picking up on mudslinging and allowing for a repeating a a certain phrase. During recent presidential campaigns, the media used terms like “flip-flopper” to erode a candidate’s credibility. So, the word this season seems to be “negativity.”

Lest you think Mayor Perez is all sunshine and flowers, ask someone who lives here. There’s cronyism and enormous wastes of taxpayer money instead.
