Councilperson Alexander Aponte has announced that he will be announcing his candidacy for Hartford Probate Judge, a position filled until recently by Robert Killian. In April, Killian resigned and announced his candidacy for mayor.
He has previously served as Corporation Counsel under Mayor Mike Peters. In 2013, Aponte was to face an ethics review.

Kerri,While I have no dog in the Probate Judge’s race,your posting leaves out essential facts that your readership needs to know anout Aponte. Aponte did face a city ethic’s review and I hope I am remembering it correctly that he was reprimanded.In addition, which you have not mentioned..within the last few years the professional grievance committee has reprimanded him on 3/29/11 for several violations….and he was sued I believe for failure to make settlement payments..a case that settled in 2014

I would love to see sources for this information. Again, if we’re going to make claims, we need to support them. I never heard what, if anything, became of that ethics review in 2013, so I’m curious.

Kerri, this morning I have sent you the “sources” of the information that you requested..namely the grievance decision…the lawsuit information off the judicial website and the city ethics ruling…have a nice day!
