That would suck, wouldn’t it? The mayoral race was hot before, but now with Perez’s own relatives doing the best they can to create the kinds of scandals that make a politician seem pretty undesirable (Perez has no control over what hid family members do, but how he responds is the important thing here), the office of mayor might be more available than before.

On May 15th, you can meet any of the mayoral candidates who have officially declared their intentions. You can grab refreshments at the Hartford Public Library around 5:30, and the actual program is supposed to begin half an hour later, ending around 7:30pm. It’s free, and a good chance to hear them answer questions live, without aid of a public relations staff.
