I guess we have the answer since he said it to the news media during the Three Kings Days march just recently. He says that his thoughts are in Puerto Rico, and that the "weather and people celebrating reminded him of home."..

My question is then why is here here? WHy is here the mayor for people who think Hartford CT is their real home.

We have way too many of these politicians, and "citizens" who don't really consider our state, our towns, our communities to be home. To them I say, go back to where you came and don't bother writing.
Your lack of loyalty to this country is obvious and you bring nothing to the table. Your communities here in Connecticut deserve better, and are in desperate times.

I guess another politician, who might as well be from another planet is Chris Dodd.
