Ten questions that we shouldn’t have to ask:
- Did anyone in Hartford read Ganim’s filings for mayor? If so, why didn’t they act on the issues they raised?
- Did Ganim’s incorrect home listing of 37 Thorne Street, a non-existent address of 30 Thorne Place as campaign headquarters, or a PO Box in Woobridge [sic], CT raise any red flags?
- How did the 2018 Ganim for Governor investigation remain open for five years, including overlapping the time when Ganim filed to run for mayor?
- Why was a token penalty only assessed on Ganim/Paoletto, with no guardrails installed to prevent a repeat of more misdeeds? Why was the penalty of up to a year in jail ignored?
- Why was le Pere allowed to be named Treasurer, with Paoletto as Deputy Treasurer, then have Ganim remove her and elevate Paoletto to Treasurer?
- Why did SEEC accept Paoletto’s return to the Treasurer’s role, when he had not settled his financial misdeeds from 2018?
- It looks like Ganim signed the doc on Sunday, 3/20/22, which would place him near le Pere signing it on 3/21. Paoletto signed it on 3/31; who changed Ganim’s date to 3/30 and why?
- As a convicted felon, Ganim is unable to get a large mortgage. Why was his recent purchase of 37 Thorne Place not questioned, including the fact that it was purchased below market value and enjoyed a large personal property tax cut the same year Ganim bought it?
- Related, why was the lot of 57 Thorne Place included at no charge?
- The former People’s Bank on the corner of North & Park is now M&T Bank. Before they moved, it was equidistant to Ganim Financial, Mario Testa/Testo’s, and Ganim’s pied-a-terre on Cartright. Have CT authorities talked to the bank about transactions they may have facilitated?
