A judge on Tuesday sentenced former Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez to three years in prison for taking a bribe and attempted extortion, saying he had to be held accountable for his actions despite all his good deeds.

Hartford Superior Court Judge Julia Dewey said Perez also must serve three years of probation after the jail time.

Lets play guess the party. You have to because the story fails to mention it. I'll take away the suspense. He's a democrat. Bet you knew.

Note to self. No political party mention AGAIN. We know he’s a Demorat for sure.

Yeah, this guy was the pro-illegal alien backer, right? Probably forgot a payoff or two.

Hartford - America’s File Cabinet.

DEMOCRAT - elected because of his race. We use to have MAYOR MIKE, now there was a mayor!!

I’m assuming this guy was a democrat since the article when out of its way not to mention this.

Eddie Perez was, of course, a Democrat. Hartford, once a fine small city, now a pit with the kind of 'leadership' you would expect, has had Democrat mayors since 1971 when Ann Uccello resigned to take a federal post in the Nixon administration. When she was elected in 1967, Ann Uccello was the first Republican mayor of Hartford in 19 years.

Hartford was recently ranked third (below Buffalo, N.Y. and and Flint, MI) as one of the 'Ten Deadest Cities in America' (by the website 'Wall Street 24/7') . In now-disgraced Mayor Eddie Perez, Hartford residents got the mayor they wanted - and deserved.

Hello Ms. Reitz,

I am curious, for the former Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez corruption story, not once did you mention his party affiliation. I wonder if this were a GOP mayor if the “balanced” AP would have included that? Of course they would have, they are APObama!

Of course, because AP is no longer a credible news source, like TIME, WaPo, NYT, McClatchey, USA Today, ABCNBCCBSCNNMSNBCPSBNPR and the other so-called “mainstream media” have sold their souls to Left Wing/Democrat causes and their journalistic integrity is completely absent.

Journolist, anyone?

More Liberal lies of omission. Less circulation. Less ad dollars. More layoffs. More shuttered newsrooms.

Brings a tear to my eye. Hope you can make a latte’.
