Hennessy effort on city council conflict moves forward

Bridgeport state Rep. John F. Hennessy is back again to push his effort to correct one of Bridgeport's more serious structural, congenital flaws -- the practice of letting city employees serve on the city council, giving them a vested interest both in the status quo and in heeding signals sent from their ultimate boss, the mayor. Banning people who are on a municipal payroll from making decisions about municipal budgets is a logical enough idea that a state law prohibits them from serving on finance boards.
