Ganim campaign aide gets city raise

BRIDGEPORT - A key, unpaid aide to Mayor Joe Ganim’s gubernatorial campaign has received a $13,000 taxpayer funded raise in his municipal job. Thomas Coble has worked on minority outreach for Ganim in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford — cities the mayor needs to win a competitive Democratic gubernatorial primary and general election. Coble has also been a politically appointed, non-union project manager with the public facilities department, earning $80,000. Ganim’s proposed 2018/19 budget shows that position — Coble is not named — being moved from public facilities to the planning and economic development office, and now earning $93,000. That is the same municipal budget that flat funds education and raises taxes to pay for $1.
