Robert Hoff East Haven's Town Council Candidate Has a lot of Questions To Answer Part 1

East Haven Politics

It’s a terrible shame when a Public Official will lie and deceive. However, when that public official uses his position to attack others and then gets nasty at times it makes it even worse. Mr. Hoff has been an attack dog questioning the ethics, morals and many more things of several public officials in the Town of East Haven when he has a very colorful past himself and one has to wonder what the Capone Administration was thinking when they appointed Mr. Hoff to the Americans Disabilities Commission and now serves as the Chairman of that Commission. Mr. Hoff should hang his head in shame for his past discretions but mostly for his attempts to cover them up.

In addition on December 4th Mr. Hoff declared that he was going to seek the office of Town Council in the 3rd District and it was his responsibility to disclose all information that would be in the public interest. I have tried to get him to come clean but all I get is the typical political run around. It is the East Haven’s Vine intent to properly vet every candidate that seeks office. In the case of Mr. Hoff there is plenty to tell and some of which is very alarming and should raise a lot of eyebrows to those who don’t know Mr. Hoff personally.

When I made the request to the East Haven Police Department I figured I would go back a full 2 years so I could maybe get a hit on something with Mr. Hoff. It had been long rumored that Mr. Hoff had been arrested but when I arrived at the police department this morning I was shocked to receive 46 pages of documentation on Mr. Hoff’s past.

I will be disclosing all of these documents over time for the public to view and to make up their own mind to whether they want Mr. Hoff to represent them. But here is the true story on the violence that has occurred at 50 Michael Street from candidate Hoff. There are other stories to 50 Michael Street that shows Mr. Hoff calls the EHPD for nonessential emergencies as well.

Here are the incidents that occurred in the year 2010.

On 6/12/2010 at 9:49am the East Haven Police Department was dispatched 50 Michael Street for a Family Dispute. Sargent Joseph Mulhern was assigned. The report came in as a family dispute between a Beth Malak from East Haven and Mr. Robert D. Hoff at 50 Michael Street. The offense listed on the report is a breach of peach. There arrests in this incident but the names of the arrestees are redacted but the officer’s incident report is not redacted.

Another incident that occured in August 31, 2010. These charges were levied by Mr. Hoff but were shown to be unchargeable since the responding officer saw that there was no violation of the protective order. Calling the East Haven Police by Mr. Hoff seems to be a regular occurance and in some cases calling the EHPD seems to be a waste of time, money and effort. 

It's also not just family members Mr. Hoff has problems with it's also his neighbors that find him to be problematic. In the last month of 2010 Mr. Hoff has the EHPD visit his neighbor because he feels that his neighbor is giving him a hard time about his dogs. This story further develops in 2011.

In this first part series of Robert Hoff the 3rd District Candidate is just in the eye of the storm. In the next segment you will see the growing time bomb on Michael Street as there are physical altercations, harrassment charges and other things that are just wasting the taxpayers dollars on resources that should be given to fighting real crime. In this just beginning series on Robert Hoff the candidate you the voter are going to ask the question...."Is Robert Hoff who we want to represent us?"

I agree Jack is a good man. He however needs to better explain his financial problems. ForeclosureRead More doesn't go forward due to a mistake. Stand up and tell the truth. If you fell behind and got back on track tell us.

Jack is a good and decent man, He would be an asset to this Town if Elected to serve as our Mayor.Read More With that said we look forward to a new beginning in East Haven, One that can set the path to a new vision for the Residents who live here now and the ones yet to come. Yes its easy to say I like Jack

Gene, Jack is your party's pick, so what else are you to say. As to Jack, if he is anything likeRead More his father he IS a good man. But being just a good man doesn't cut it in todays small world politics. Jack has issues he needs to explain and I am sure when he time comes he will. But as to this article, I wouldn't expect anything else from the SHADOW. Wouldn't want him backing me for anything.

I asked the question and you gave me the answer I was looking for, and I thank you for that. As toRead More the rest of your dribble, doesn't deserve a response for EVERYONR knows all about the true Gene aka ******** Ruocco.

Richard, the Mayor kicked the CEO of the company that had the contract out of his office less than aRead More month after he won the election. The contract was with the town not the BOE. And if you think the only thing to check is if the panels are dirty, then it isn't worth answering you. A large investment of tax dollars was made and it is paying off with lower electric bills. The systems delivering these savings need to be checked, that is why people who were smart enough to sign a maintenance agreement did just that. Ask the BOE how the chiller replacement is going at the High School; due to lack of maintenance they lost two chillers that should have lasted at least 10 to 15 more years. Penny wise and dollar foolish is what this is all about, not the election year, but what else could we expect from you Richard. You have become the cheer leader of the administration.
Richard Poulton May 18, 2013 at 03:58 pm
Boy, you just know it's an election year. Gene, one question, when was this contract stopped?Read More Just now or some time ago, but seeing its getting "close' to November you just thought you would bring this up. Besides, shouldn't your question be aimed at the B of E, not the Mayor. And what is to be maintained anyway beside washing the panals now and then? You just keep us all informed now Gene.

Thanks Richard. Allison...I know that street is crazy!! I was just saying that the van makes theRead More stop sign so hard to see. I wish they would put a cop there too. Unfortunately, things don't get attention until something bad happens.
AllisonWonderland Beckert May 16, 2013 at 05:58 pm
Please, a parked Van you are worrying about???? Every Morning in that same area of Chidsey,Read More Thompson, Prospect. etc, Cars, Trucks etc. Blast thru the Stop Signs and continue on their merry way. I'd worry about the kids walking to the bus stops and school being run down by these careless drivers... EVERY DAY I SEE IT !!!! I wish the Police Department would put an unmarked car in the area.. The Town of East Haven would be rich from ALL the Fines !!!!!
Richard Poulton May 16, 2013 at 05:47 pm
Anne, go to town clerks office and get a copy of Town Codes, Article ll, Section 12-16 and 12-17.Read More Section 12-17 defines an abandoned M/V as any M/V which is "inoperatable", or unregistered and is left in one location for a continuous period of more than 24 hours. Then call the Chiefs office and hit him with that. If nothing happens go to next Town Council meeting and during general public comments ask WHY nothing is done when complaint is made. Good luck.

"Nature will reclaim what we took from it in past years." I guess there is one thing weRead More agree on. And it started to sound good until the "government will make me whole, no matter what...." Political trip-wire. I have always felt no one should be allowed to claim or build on shoreline land within a mile of the water, with the exception of ports, on either coast. If it all were National Park lands... if only that decision was made way back when the land was pure and clean... the present and future wouldn't be as nightmarish as it inevitably will be. Only 50 years ago, when I was a very small child, I remember chasing all kinds of sea creatures (crabs, sea horses, star fish) around Silver Sands beach while my Dad caught a bushel of flounder. Where are they now? Yup, I'm a "Tree-Hugger" and, as outrageous as such a plan would be, I would throw all my energy behind a plan to de-populate the shoreline.
Richard Poulton May 14, 2013 at 07:10 pm
In the neigborhood of 135 words and you said what? Nature will reclaim what we took from it inRead More past years. Storms will happen, gee thats news, build a home on the shore line and it maybe lost due to a storm, power will be lost for awhile, OH my God. Far too much traffic, what are we to do? Update a plan for what purpose, the government will make me whole no matter what I do or what circumstance I put myself into. Give me a break! Like the old saying goes. **** happens, deal with it.
