There are some Democrats in fairly conservative districts, though the term “conservative, especially here in Connecticut, tends to be fungible. In these cases, it is probably politically expedient for Democratic leaders to give these representatives a long tether. That may be the case with Schofield. I don’t know her. It’s always possible she has some convictions; not all Democrats march to the tune of Williams and Donovan. Or it may be possible that she has seen their future and knows it won’t work. The important thing is that you don’t give up. Never give up.Don Pescihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167988001948356357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-46754326639663418962009-09-01T14:46:59.505-04:002009-09-01T14:46:59.505-04:00Rep.

She's gone from saying nothing of her own opinions on the proposed budgets (which lit my fuse) to a more detailed position. She's always cordial and I've thanked her for voting against the budget. I'm still not sure if she is being allowed to vote against this for her political future or if she's seeing the disaster more clearly.<br /><br />My consistent message to her is that I've seen what this path has done to California and New York and noted the inevitable exodus of people and businessess from those states.Dave Moellingnoreply@blogger.com
