Wonder why Hartford politics is screwed up> The guy was voted the worst by his colleagues and he wants to get back on the gravy train. Wants txo reduce crime but dosen't have an idea how. Yeah voters vote for him and get him back in bed with slick Eddie

Abe Giles, there are so many stories about him. I remember when the NCAA had its semifinals at the Hartford Civic Center and the cost of parking became a scandal. The national media could not believe that one man could have stuck up the entire process and that man was Abe Giles. So, enought puff pieces on Abe Giles, how about something that lays it out in detail, both good and bad. It is called journalism. Surely the Courant has not laid off all of the reporters who know more about Giles than Cohen.

This is the quality of Obama supporters "a legislator whose constituents kept electing him after his colleagues voted him the legislature's worst; a politician who works tirelessly to register voters but who was infamous for missing votes; a businessman who complains that public money passes his people over but who is often accused of making his living off the public dime." Hey Courant - you actually got it right

I am glad Abe Giles colon is back in good shape and that he can not only eat like a pig to feed his mouth but also feed like a pig at the public trough like a big pig. The milk is always warm and flowing. Is Abe any worse than William DeBella?

Giles seems to have a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing going on. Unfortunately, his bad side appears to overshadow his good. Someone give him $100,000 to go away, please. "Park" his ideas somewhere else. Georgia, maybe? But, not in CT; especially, not in our capital city!

voted "worst" by his peers? That's like choosing who's the biggest cheat among thieves!! a big complaint is that he has no alliance to anyone but himself? Well, better to be your own man than to have been bought and sold by lobbyists or other politicians!! I say VOTE FOR GILES!! The man seems to be more interested in the people of his district than the other politicians.

"a big complaint is that he has no alliance to anyone but himself? Well, better to be your own man than to have been bought and sold by lobbyists or other politicians!!" What about his parking deal with Latin King Eddie? Where is that Grand Jury indictment? I really want to see Eddie in handcuffs.

This was a very good article. I would never vote for Giles, simply because he doesn't know how to accompish anything in the legislature...but this was a good, balanced article.

Dont blame Abe

True, Abe Giles is a lazy, crooked opportunist. But let's not forget how the system works. Politicians are ELECTED, not appointed. So don't blame Abe. He's just doing what he knows how to do, which is to live well off the public dollar. Blame the knuckleheads who vote for him ... and there are apparently enough of those that he kept getting elected!

these people should go back to Georgia. How can we elect a guy, when the people that would vote for him are ignorant......displaced, lazy, uneducated, ill mannered. Turn down the ghetto blaster, stop selling drugs, go to school. Get realistic.
