MAYOR HARP SUSPENDS RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN DESPITE INCLINATION – AND PASSIONATE EXHORTATIONS – TO CONTINUE
WILL FOCUS ON PROJECT COMPLETION FOR DURATION OF TERM
New Haven – Mayor Toni N. Harp said today she has suspended her campaign for re-election despite some inclination – and repeated and passionate pleadings from supporters – to continue.
The city’s November ballot will include Mayor Harp’s name – on the Working Families Party (WFP) line – so voters have an opportunity to vote for the mayor at that time, but there will be no active effort to seek voter support between now and November 5.
A lifelong Democrat, Mayor Harp said she was honored by July’s overwhelming endorsement at the New Haven Democratic Town Committee’s convention, pleased last month by the WFP nomination, and grateful for continuing affirmation of her successful, six-years’ record leading the city.
“I’ve been blessed – and remain grateful – for enthusiastic assistance from thousands and thousands of supporters, contributors, and voters and it’s been my good fortune – literally – to have the opportunity I’ve had to be mayor these past nearly six years,” Mayor Harp said. “We’ve worked together to advance this city well beyond where it was six years ago and among so many accomplishments, I’m most proud of the partnerships and collaborations at the heart of them.”
Mayor Harp cited a most-impressive list of citywide improvements over six years, beginning with the removal of an ominous fence separating New Haven from Hamden, arranging for clean-up of the old English Station power plant, the restored College Street Music Hall, the new police department indoor firing range, the renovated Ralph Walker skating rink, the new Fort Hale Park fishing pier, development plans for Long Wharf, a refurbished Food Truck Paradise and new, two-way bike lane there, renovations at the Ives Main Branch – and other improvements throughout the public library system, the overhauled Coogan Pavilion in Edgewood Park, creation of a new Cherry Ann Park with its new gazebo, demolition of the Church Street South housing complex ahead of more transit-oriented, mixed use on that parcel, steady progress on the major Downtown Crossing and Hill-to-Downtown redevelopment projects, the District innovation and technology hub in East Rock, the bioscience career ladder in partnership with SCSU, the ESUMS campus at UNH, the Gateway to College high school completion program at Gateway Community College, the Hillhouse High School academies, the small business academy and financial empowerment program for adults, and steady progress toward a worker-owned, commercial laundry facility in Newhallville.
Mayor Harp said that despite these and other achievements, a balanced budget and improved city finances, lower crime rates, the eminently successful Youth Stat program, improved outcomes at New Haven Public Schools, and robust private-sector development throughout the city, the compromised political climate and daunting financial and operational logistics of a continuing campaign make prospects remote for a successful outcome.
“On one hand it’s completely counter-intuitive to walk away from all this progress and allow coalitions to be shattered that’ve been irrefutably successful, yet on the other hand there are simply too many practical considerations and obstacles to overcome for my team to effectively campaign for another term,” Mayor Harp said.
Mayor Harp said with a new firefighter labor contract pending before the Board of Alders, the next phase of Downtown Crossing just underway, construction of the Q House started, Yale New Haven Health’s $838 million neuroscience center ramping up, and a full fall schedule still pending, it’s most important to pursue her duties as mayor and continue advancing the city’s fortunes.
Mayor Harp restated and underscored her appreciation and gratitude for the generous contribution of time and effort from supporters these past many months, and over many years.

10 October, 2018 – GUNSHOTS FIRED AT CAR IN WESTVILLE VILLAGE AS CROWDS LEAVE ROOSEVELT’S BAR
This marks the third gunfire/ shooting event in one year related to a bar in the heart of the quiet Westville Village. At 1:03 AM, Officers responded to calls of gunfire that had occurred outside Roosevelt’s Bar, 883 Whalley Avenue.
An officer had been flagged down at the corner of Fountain Street and Central Avenue by a person reporting a chaotic scene just blocks away. As he approached, the officer heard gunfire and spotted a Subaru Forester leaving the area. He pulled over the car on West Rock Avenue. The car’s windshield had been shot at.
About two hours later, an officer in Fair Haven was contacted by a man admitting he’d fired at the vehicle after its driver sped directly at him. The twenty-five year old Hamden, CT man told police he was leaving Roosevelt’s when a man pulled up to him and addressed him. He said the man drove off, made a U-turn and sped toward him. He told officers he jumped into his own car but couldn’t get it started in time to flee. He said the man struck his car and he thought the man would harm him. He said he fired at the driver, who in turn fled.
Video of the incident, viewed by the officers, generally corroborates the victim’s story. The victim has a valid pistol permit. It appears he was not the antagonist in this incident.
The case remains under investigation. An arrest has not yet been made.
On Saturday, September 22, 2018, Officers, as had become routine, were posted at Roosevelt’s bar to clear out the crowd after closing time. At 1:52 AM, those officers heard gunfire and found the victim in front of the closed business at 867 Whalley Avenue. Tomone Archie Lindsey, thirty-two, of New Haven, had been shot in the leg. He claimed to have no knowledge as to who’d shot him. A parked car was struck as well.
Though Roosevelt’s Bar often hires an Extra Duty officer on weekends, routinely, it takes many on-duty officers to clear out the area after closing.

9 October, 2018 – MAN CLAIMS SELF-DEFENSE IN STABBING. THE INJURED PERSON DISAPPEARED
At 9:36 PM, officers were dispatched to 154 Frank Street after somone reported an assault.
The arriving cops found a pool of blood on the front porch and a trail of blood leading inside to the second floor. There was more blood in a bedroom, but no one was in it.
Suspicious of the noises above, the basement tennant emerged and told the cops he’d seen two women leaving the building after hearing an argument. He said his upstairs-neighbor came outside and was bleeding from his face. He said the women cut him.
Police cought up with the victim at Yale New Haven Hospital. The sixty-six year old told the officers he was in his bedroom, when the door opened and two men entered. One had a “shiny knife”. The blade-wielding man aproached him. The victim armed himself with a screwdriver and ordered the intruder to stop.
The victim said the man kept coming and sliced his face and hand. The victim said he stabbed the intruder several times with the screwdriver. The last time, said the victim, the screwdriver remained in the man’s chest.
The victim’s wounds – though deep, were not deemed life-threatening. The intruders were not found despite frequent checks for the impaled one – male or female.
9 October, 2018 – HURLBURT STREET RESIDENCE STRUCK BY BULLETS
At 9:13 PM, the city’s ShotSpotter® system alerted to gunfire on the one-hundred block of Hurlburt Street. Officers narrowed their search to a bullet struk home at 109 Hurlburt Street. Bullet shell casings, found outside on the street and front porch, were collected and the house was searched. One of its occupants, Travis Jenkins (3-30-1975), of that address, had two outstanding warrants (larceny 6th and failing to appear in court) and was taken into custody. His custody was otherwise unrelated to this case.
We’re looking into the who and why and are interested in hearing from anyone who has information on this case. 203-946-6304, if you’re interested in talking. Calls may be made annonymously.
Households Which Earned $54,000 or Less in 2017 Can File State and Federal Taxes for FREE
WHAT: The Mayor’s office will join members of the Greater New Haven Family
Economic Security Coalition, coordinated by the Connecticut Association for Human
Services (CAHS) to kick-off the start of the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance)
season with a press event. Speakers include: Sheila Carmon, Interim Community
Service Administrator; Jim Horan, Chief Executive Officer, Connecticut Association for
Human Services; Amy Casavina Hall, Chief Impact Officer, United Way of Greater New
Haven; Alisa Lebovitz, IRS Taxpayer Advocate; Janice Vargas, VITA Client
WHEN: Thursday, January 25, at 1:00 p.m.
WHERE: Financial Empowerment Center, 316 Dixwell Ave., New Haven, CT
BACKGROUND: VITA is a program sponsored by the IRS, where trained volunteers
prepare and file state and federal returns for low-moderate income families for free.
Families who had an income of $54,000 or less in 2017 may qualify for free tax
preparation services.
Last year, trained VITA volunteers in New Haven prepared almost 4,500 tax returns,
returning $7.1 million in state and federal refunds to local families including $2.4 million
in federal Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) which may have otherwise gone
unclaimed. The Connecticut EITC provides an additional credit for working families
which is 23% of the federal EITC. This tax credit helps low-income working families with
children have more money for monthly bills, pay off debt and to save for emergencies.
The IRS wants to remind taxpayers that the PATH Act law requires the IRS to hold
refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax
Credit (ACTC) until February 15. In addition, the IRS wants taxpayers to be aware it will
take several days for these refunds to be released and processed through financial
institutions. Factoring in weekends and the President’s Day holiday, the IRS cautions. that many affected taxpayers may not have access to their refunds until the week of
February 27.
“We are pleased to be able to offer families and individuals who qualify, free tax
preparation and filing.” said Jim Horan, Chief Executive Officer of CAHS, an
organization that helps to coordinate the VITA campaign across the state. “This is an
important service and offers a significant savings to those who are challenged by the
extra expense of tax season. In addition to free tax services, CAHS also offers
educational programs that help build long-lasting financial stability.”
“VITA provides much needed free tax advice and guidance to people who cannot afford
tax accountants or are confused by our complex tax rules. Too many people fail to
receive refunds or the earned income tax credit that are owed to them- leaving on the
table billions of often critical hard earned dollars.” stated U.S. Senator, Richard
Blumenthal.
Residents can call 2-1-1 or visit www.211ct.org, the United Way’s free information
hotline to find out more information or to locate the closest location. For more
information about federal or state EITC eligibility, residents can visit www.irs.gov or
www.ct.gov/drs/eitc.
This year’s VITA campaign is made possible through the generous support of the
following funders: United Way of Greater New Haven, Wells Fargo, Citi Community
Development, and People’s Bank Foundation.
