Never Enough: Intersection of Bronin Fundraising and Zoning Causing Dismay.
Hartford Democratic mayoral hopeful Luke Bronin’s campaign fundraising practices may have gone several steps too far in his avaricious hunt for contributions, Daily Ructions has learned. People with business before the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission have been startled to receive solicitations from Bronin’s campaign around the time they appear before before the PZC, which is headed by Sara Bronin, the candidate’s spotlight-loving spouse.
The grumbling about the Bronin tactics has grown louder as Sara Bronin’s public role grew in her husband’s Democratic primary campaign contest against incumbent Pedro Segarra.
Some land use professionals and others who appear before the city’s PZC worry that the Greenwich plutocrat’s aggressive fundraising will grow worse should Bronin, as expected, win Wednesday’s showdown. Bronin, after all, holds a degree from the Dannel P. Malloy School of Relentless Fundraising. The use of grudges and vendettas are notorious features of that curriculum.
