If it had a reputation as a rough place, this sure doesn’t help.
Let the youth gangs who run that place fix the electricity themselves. Hope they don’t get shocked if they don’t know what the heck they are doing.
I lived and worked in New England for a couple of years in the 1980’s. My business would take me to Bridgeport. Even back then there were sections of the city where law enforcement did not go unless it was an absolute emergency.
As a wife of a lineman currently working back in that area I take offense to this Mayors comment.
These linemen work hard my husband worked all day yesterday at his regular job with the electric company caught a red eye arrived early am in New York and worked till 7:30 my time (CA time) and was heading to bed to get up @ 3:30 am to head back out to work
These men and women work in elements that are risky and sometimes do 24 hours shifts. The Mayor is very disrespectful, it is about the grids, who gets power first fire, police, hospital etc etc maybe he needs to go and take a journeyman lineman program and see what is involved. His comment is as stupid as the CA person a couple years back that said “all they have to do is plug the wires into each other” no dumb++s it is more involved. Many linemen die every year from work related issues. Give this guys and gals the respect they deserve TRUST ME all those people back east they want to get your power on as quickly as possible but they need to do it safely. And for the egg throwing people you could possible enjoy one of those line man but causing them to get zapped as you throwing items at them.
