Manchester Major Crime on the Rise

No one wants to live in such a town where violence, racism, elitism and corruption and failure of public trust is paramount. The community is deeply affected by what your town officials do--pay attention get rid of town officials and Board of Directors who have created this mess or make them accountable to you the voter and business owner. Board of Directors meet each month and there is an open forum for almost all meetings.

In the past 5 years Manchester has had over 30 Major crimes including, rape, murder, armed robbery, stabbings and shootings. The small community of Manchester now sounds like a suburb of New York City. Your primary town officials make well over $100,000 a year to grace you with such great statistics. The Board of Directors has turned a blind eye and add to the problems the town faces. No other town in the region of Hartford faces these kind of statistics except possibly East Hartford.  All of the towns surrounding Hartford including:Rocky Hill, Newington, Wethersfield, West Hartford, Windsor, Bloomfield,  and Glastonbury do not have these problems--why?
