03/09/09 READER SUBMITTED COMMENTS: An Open Letter To Governor Wanna Be Dan Malloy
To the Editor: Please post this letter to Mayor Dan Malloy:
Dear Mr. Mayor, Since you have your eyes on becoming a STATE official, what's it gonna be like when you have to provide "real" answers to the voters of CT.? For example, how will you explain using Stamford's city funds to throw elaborate parties for you and your partners in covering up your shady dealings? Do you really think the Police Commissioner is gonna cover for his Police Chief and officers? Do you think Ben was gonna be the new boy scout poster boy? Do you think your family is entitled to special treatment with regard to the laws? Mr. Mayor, do you plan on using Mr. Joe Pisani as your Pinnochio puppet? Joe Pissani could pass for Pinnochio, you know. The nose, the bow tie, the little mannerisms, etc. The "I cannot tell a lie" line is what Stamford and Greenwich have been listening to for decades. It is now "I never told the truth because I wasn't working in that office" blurb. Mr. Pisani selected what's news, and what part of the news we readers should know. In addition, he repeatedly praised you, leaving out anything hinting of negativity. Mr. Mayor, all politicians don't have the police and the press in check. In fact, almost none do.
So, I have to ask: what did you give Mr. Pisani, in exchange for his "omissions"? Money? A love shack for him to bang the "MY TOWN IS GREENWICH" staff? Or did Mr. Pisani do it out of the kindness of his heart? What heart?
