| 2009-01-27 |
| Hmm, wonder what party? HARTFORD, Conn. -- The mayor of Connecticut's capital city says he will surrender to state police on bribery and other charges but won't resign. Doesn't say here! Mayor Eddie A. Perez says state officials have a warrant for his arrest in connection with home renovations done by a city contractor. His attorney, Hubert Santos, tells The Hartford Courant that Perez will be charged Tuesday. Other accusations include fabricating evidence and conspiracy to fabricate evidence. The mayor says that "there is no excuse" but that "a lapse in judgment is not a crime." You'd think the AP would tell you by now A state grand jury looked at $20,000 in renovations at Perez's home done by city contractor Carlos Costa, who has been arrested. State officials had no comment as of early Tuesday. Must be 'Bull Moose'. Oh, wait ... he's a Democrat |
