Erin Stewart is Guilty, The Defamation of Erin Stewart (3)

The campaign to prevent Erin Stewart from earning the right to represent the Ct Republican ticket for the office of Governor continues as bizarrely can be.

A clown car of accusers and self-serving, entitled accusers stumbles and bumbles over each other to up the ante of unfounded and outright surreal imaginary disqualifying crimes.

In this cartoon, five "scandals" (scandals I tell ya) are listed with a number of New Britain taxpayer baiting expectations that Stewart drop what she's doing and play stupid games.


Scandal #1: implies that actually using a city expense account is, well... a scandal. But that's what expense accounts are for. All city employees in every city use them. Here they have shaved their ten year request for receipts to make it look like the amount was spent in nine years, not that the amount is egregious to begin with.

So what will satisfy the demand for "addressing this scandal"? A confession that, "YES. YES. I used an expense card for expenses!" My guess is that this won't satisfy them.

Scandal #2: the policies regarding "red flags" for misuse of p-cards predates the advent of the Covid lockdown and the ensuing monopoly of big box store purchasing. Nothing here implies guilt of crime because there is no context for the purchases. That would require that the City Finance Department conduit a post mortem audit of those purchases, sit with Stewart and try to recreate what if anything was inappropriately charged to the city, and what if any restitution might be required. Which leads us to Scandal 3.

Scandal #3 Stewart owes no one reimbursement until such reimbursement is established. Scandal #3 is dependent on Scandal #2 being performed as a due process prerequisite. These two scandals are nothing more that a "heads we win, tails you lose" game for morons to play. Stewart is smart to watch her accusers chase their tails.

Scandal #4 Stewart asked to be awarded a pro-rated pension benefit from the City of New Britain for her service. This would have required a revision to the current city charter. given that she served through the Covid years in which grocery clerks, hospital staff, and public servants were considered "HEROES" for serving, the request is modest. To her critics its a crime.

Scandal #5 She has requested a public financing grant. Something she is perfectly entitled to do. I'm surprised nobody is locking her up.

Correlation does not equal causation.

The Systemic Defamation of Erin Stewart (2), Republican Frontrunner

One would think that with the elimination of so many journalist positions that only the best and most professional practitioners would be left standing. I have a hard time believing that after reading the Hartford Courant's Edmund Mahony's "Top Story" in the Mother's Day edition of the news edition. The Courant made a public records request exclusively targeting Erin Stewart's expense card with the city of New Britain presumably because of their new found concern over government spending in this blindingly BLUE State of Connecticut. Heaven forbid that an insanely popular and effective Republican mayor of one of CT's most iconic cities should have an accounting blemish with which to crucify her with on Mother's Day. Well they got the information they requested and proceeded to confuse factual spending records with actual, pragmatic context for the purchases, why they might be delivered to her home, or any other details that might explain individual anom...

Systemic Defamation: A Democratic Party Real Estate Meltdown

  Connecticut is not a politically Blue State nor is it a Purple State. It is a State that has been wholly co-opted by the embrace of a Democratic party apparatus that has mastered the elimination of democratic representation of its citizens. There can be political choices in this State and there can be a fair representation of relative interests but that possibility is being systematically eliminated by an unholy alliance of political interest groups. If Connecticut is blue it is because it is being held hostage by the throat and not being allowed to breath the freedom to share representation by anyone other than the TDS infected apparatchiks who abuse its citizens and taxpayers. Yesterday I briefly outlined the all out saturation attack on Erin Stewart, the Republican's best candidate for the Governor's office . She has the same charisma and political leadership qualities that a few older generations will remember Ribicoff and Meskill having possessed. Not enough people are p...

The Systemic Defamation of Erin Stewart (1), Republican Candidate for Connecticut Governor's Office

 Every once in a while something in the news cycle catches my attention and just doesn't sit right with me. The latest political narrative is as strange as it gets. It involves a kitchen sink of lowlife politicians, so-called journalists, and rivers of social media bile. The latest chapter of this saga is what is shamelessly described as investigative journalism in the Hartford Courant claiming expense account ("P-Card") irregularities  during Erin Stewart's terms as Mayor of New Britain. First, what's a P-Card and what can it be used for?  Well, it's a credit card used for the nickel and dime fiscal transactions required to function in public office. Here's what Google AI documents it to include and exclude . The Hartford Courant and its duplicitous goon squad of political banshees sensationalize the amount of money credited to Mayor Stewart's account. It sounds like a big number; $200K. A journalist with ethics might point out that that covers a ten ...
