I read the item on the Media Roundup and noticed that the AP said Eddie Perez was a Democrat. I wanted to confirm that. I did. (When the AP omits the party of an indicted official, you can make book that they omitted "Democrat" so it can be inferred.) But then it got interesting, at least as Wiki tells the story now. Durham recruited its Police Chief from this fine city. Key words: Trinity College. Community Activist. Organized Crime. Bribery. Corruption. Trinity College. Hospital. Town and Gown relations. Newspaper. And, the capstone: "The organization ultimately absorbed nearly a quarter of Trinity's endowment and over a hundred-million dollars from the Hospital in an urban renewal program."

Hartford's latino population is majority Puerto Rican and has been since they started emigrating to NYC and then Hartford, whew, many years ago. The city has always been corrupt in one way or another. Trinity College is an upscale college (over 180 years old) that is similar to what Duke is to Durham as far as students and city relations. Tuition is about 24 000 a year for a normal 15 credit hours. Housing is extra. |
