In an effort to boost his sagging race for Comptroller, Waterbury Mayor Mike Jarjura announced today that he will offer a position to Hartford Mayor Eddie Perez. Perez was convicted today on charges of bribery and extortion. Jarjura said that he believed Perez’ experience matched the experience of other people he has recently hired, such as former Governor John Rowland. “These are people who know how to get deals done,” Jarjura said.

Jarjura is no stranger to deal making. It was a backroom deal with the New Haven Democrats that managed to get him on the ballot. Similar backroom deals with the Perez administration may enable him to carry the city of Hartford in the primary.

Healthcare advocate Kevin Lembo, who is the Democratic Nominee for Comptroller refused to get in the mud to wrestle with Jarjura, Perez, Rowland or Garcia, even if it was a political event sponsored by WWE.

Blogger Aldon Hynes, who wrote this acknowledged that he has no real information about any sort of deal between Jarjura, Perez or others, but that it seemed like too good a satirical piece to pass up.
