Elect Democrats. They manage money best.

I am retired military, on active duty 1967 - 1995.

In the late 1980's, I was in a Pentagon assignment that required me to do a lot of Congressional briefings, mainly responding to Congresscritters who wanted a personal briefing on some matter of interest to them.

I recall briefing John Rowland three or four times. He was a smart-aleck, wise-mouthed, self-important little shit.

I don't make a habit of gloating over other people's misfortune but I'm certain he brought it on himself and he deserves everything he gets.

not the brightest bulb in the box

state roads are terrible, state parks are closed most of the time, the state relies on non-profit conservation orgs to do the work DEEP should be doing, there are only a couple of staff members charged with enforcing rules on all the boats on all the lakes in the state, small towns send their tax $ to Hartford, which redistributes the education $ to cities but the kids still don't have basic skills, yada, yada.

The one thing working well here in CT is the O-care state exchange.

John Rowland cannot keep his nose clean and now this. CT has become a second-class state since this clown was in charge, followed by Jodi Rell, another repug.

get off without having to discuss details of monetary measures that affect tax payers?

what a fucked up way of doing the peoples' business.
