in 2004 two City of Stamford contractors - Gunzy Electric and Shapter Construction - performed work on then Mayor Dan Malloy's house and had also received no-bid city contracts.city. The Gunzy and Shapter firms received very profitable and lucrative city deals.
Stamford residents were shocked when these no-bid contracts were disclosed, because Dan Malloy had went on a local cable television news station said that none of the contractors that worked on his house had received no-bid contracts. Malloy further lied and said that any contractor that worked on his house only got city jobs after responded to a request for proposals or issued sealed bids in a competitive bidding process.
COMMENT:
It's sad that politics in Connecticut have reached such a low point that the standard by which politicians are judged is whether or not their abuses of the public trust land them in jail.
The facts are the facts. Dan Malloy handed out no-bid contracts to companies that held fundraisers for his previous failed gubernatorial campaigns or performed renovations on his home.
Dan Malloy has said repeatedly that his questionable actions were not found to be illegal, but does he think they were right?' Connecticut Democrats have a choice on August 10th. If they think it's right for a Mayor or Governor to award no-bid contracts to campaign contributors and people who performed renovations on his house, then they should vote for Dan Malloy.
But if voters are tired of the scandals, the fraud the waste, the abuse and the high taxes, then Dan is NOT their man.
Voters that want government that puts the taxpayer first, they should elect a governor like Ned Lamont, who will head to Hartford with no strings attached.

It Is Time To Put An End To Pay For Play
