Eddie is at the beginning of "the Johnny Rowland Perp Walk". Just hope he does not get Judge Dorsey who let Rowland off with a light sentence where he only was in prison 10 months. Hope he draws Judge Alan Nevas who I believe gave corrupt Bridgeport Mayor Gamin 9 years.

Good job grand jury, it is about time. Perez was talking about the crime rate being down in Hartford, well it just went up big time. It couldn't of happen to a nicer guy.

Shall we take bets on how long the HC will allow this forum to remain active, before caving to pressure from King Eddie's office to pull it down?

Maybe he can be cellmates with Santopietro.

Mr Mayor, please do the right thing for Hartford, resign, spare Hartford the embarrassment of your problems. If you have any conscience or feelings for Hartford, do at least one honorable thing, leave now.

What about an opposing viewpoint. I hope the courant prints commentary from the prosecuting attorney in the next article? Rowland was such an outrage but Perez is a lapse in judgement? It's never wrong to violate the publics trust when it's a democrat. How sad.

Is anyone really surprised by this?

A politician caught up in their own greed; overstepping their boundaries; or just plain stupid.

I'm just amazed on how fast CT moved on this one...not!

Just think , The well educated Hartford residents voted him back in! Seems to me the people didnt care less what he would do. Someone in high places seemed to.

Guess Eddie will be able to do his community organizing in prison stripes. Eddie has lied about this for months. Finally, he has to face the music.

What's equally disturbing however, is Blumenthal, Baysiwisc and other Demo leaders who sucked up to him, calling him visionary, with integrity and all that other untrue hype to get his support in running for office knowing he had most likely done what he is accused of doing.

These jerks always feel they're entitled. Hope he's in a cell with a 7 foot tall man named Luther.

Sit back have your Latte for the next 4 yrs. Its only just begun. The greed and deciet lever has just begun, we got a long road to go before people start thinking before they vote. Oh But Obama will part the seas and make everything smell like gold. And the media will sugarcoat everything like always, since they are in the wallets of the Democrats.

Why do I think these charges are only "the tip of the iceberg"? A mayor that is charge of a sinking ship must be doing favors in lots of places to keep getting elected. Those "prominent" individuals that spoke up for his honesty were in no position to know what he was doing in his day to day job. Why would they make such statements? What benefits do they get?
