In Super-Short Ruling, Jarjura Loses Bid To Stop Lembo’s Campaign For Comptroller

He’ll always have the Lembo Limbo to fall back on, but Waterbury Mayor Mike Jarjura was just rejected by a state judge. The conservative Jarjura – who’s taking credit for turning around the city from the brink of bankruptcy, conveniently forgetting that the state ran the city’s budget for years- said that Kevin Lembo, endorsed by state Democrats in their May convention, should not have been awarded his financing under the Citizens Election Program. Here’s the ruling:

ORDER REGARDING:

07/23/10 100.35 MOTION FOR TEMPORARY INJUNCTION

The foregoing, having been heard by the Court, is hereby:

ORDER: DENIED

Temporary injunction is denied. Memorandum of decision or bench decision to follow.

Judge: JAMES T GRAHAM
