In this political climate, it’s clear voters want candidates who will challenge the status quo and shake up the system, and who won’t participate in the same old political deals motivated by selfish political ambition that they’ve seen become commonplace in both Washington and Hartford.”Fuzzy Dunlopnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-12665034446813331502010-03-04T18:44:41.045-05:002010-03-04T18:44:41.045-05:00His thrust, ideas and compatriots have not changed...His thrust, ideas and compatriots have not changed since August: http://donpesci.blogspot.com/2009/08/lamont-and-buck-it-doesnt-stop-anywhere.htmlDon Pescihttp://donpesci.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-9927625050689079142010-03-04T12:58:54.702-05:002010-03-04T12:58:54.702-05:00From what I hear Ned has some vision of CT 2.0 tha...From what I hear Ned has some vision of CT 2.0 that is not cheaper than CT 1.0 but is full of those "intagible benefits" people like to talk about. This will allow him to sidestep the issue of state spending and public employee pensions.<br /><br />But the intangibles are more like vaporware. The old "educated workforce, good quality of life, and good location" cliches are trotted out regularly, but if they were so good why are companies leaving the state.<br /><br />It reminds me of my experience that people in Connecticut like to brag about the state as being so convenient to NYC and Boston but never go to either city!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206650643306740510noreply@blogger.com
