Has Rell Begun Surrender On Taxes? -- Courant.com

Anonymous said...: Senator Rennie said the following:
The conspiracy among state leaders to impose a news blackout on their budget negotiations last month meant only bad results would emerge. Politicians usually seek attention when they are doing good. It's when they are acting against the public's interest that they draw a veil around themselves.

Elected officials with confidence in their arguments, knowledge and beliefs would welcome public scrutiny of deliberations. Instead, they fear the public.

Senator Rennie's remarks leave me with this question:

Since Representative O'Brien is part of this conspiracy to keep the budget process secret from the public, is this what kind of secrecy we could expect in a city hall commanded by him? What is it that he and his fellow Democratic legislators fear us finding out?; August 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Anonymous said...: The statement below goes to show you how out of touch with reality the left wing loons in this state are. They are touting Governor Rell's approval rating dropping from 70% to 65% as some kind of a huge victory for their liberal cause when the truth is that Governor Rell currently maintains the highest approval rating of any Governor in the United States, and her approval rating is still more than twice that of the liberal Democrats in the legislature--showing that the public clearly knows who to blame for our lack of a budget--Legislative Democrats (including our own Timothy O'Brien)!

On Wednesday, July 22, the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute released new approval rating numbers for Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell. Now at a 65 percent approval rating, the Q-Poll notes that this is the first time in over five years that the Governor’s rating has dipped below 70 percent.

"I am not surprised that her approval numbers are beginning to drop," said Ron McLellan, the President of CEUI/SEIU Local 511. "Until this economic crisis, Governor Rell could hide her allegiance to big corporations and Connecticut's wealthiest citizens. But now, when the difficult decisions must be made, she has taken money from services that protect the middle-class and that support the most vulnerable among us -- all so that the rich and big businesses don't have to sacrifice."; August 3, 2009 at 8:36 PM
