If you want top dollar state welfare benefit's then you want to live in either liberal Connecticut or liberal California. They have way more freebies for the unemployed and illegals than any other of the 48 states.
Also Connecticut is a free ride state and it will get worse as time goes bye.
A very generous state with lots and lots for those who mooch off the labor of others?
Connecticut Legislators rarely make good executive branch employees. There are a host of experienced State Employees that know the business of the various agencies and can do an excellent job at the top ladder.
Governor Malloy should look there first, in fact, he should look at experienced government employees from other states before he looks at Connecticut Legislators. That's the last place we would look.
Connecticut Politicians are Connecticut Politicians, for the most part - Just leave them there.
NEW BRITAIN — Area legislators are planning to honor local veterans at a special ceremony where they will be awarded with the state wartime service medal.
State Reps. Tim O’Brien, John Geragosian, Peter Tercyak, Elizabeth “Betty” Boukus, and state Sen. Donald DeFronzo, all New Britain-area Democrats, are collaborating on the ceremony and hoping to assist qualifying veterans in applying for the award.
All local veterans with qualifying wartime service are eligible to receive the Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal.
The date of the ceremony is to be determined. Veterans or family members of deceased veterans will receive the medal recognizing their service.
Veterans or a relative of an eligible veteran with qualifying wartime military service can obtain the Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal Application by calling Rep. Tim O’Brien’s office at (860) 240-8532.
The one reason to abolish the death penalty is if is eventually proven that the person convicted is not guilty of the crime. However, if it is beyond reasonable doubt that the convicted criminal is definitely guilty, as in the murder of the Cheshire women. There is no reason why the taxpayers should pay free room and board for these convicts...Let them face their maker sooner than later.
How can DeFronzo honor veterans? Didn't he refuse to serve his country when he was drafted? As I recall, when he was mayor and would march by in the Veteran's Day parade, the veterans would all turn their backs to him.
We don't know what's more pathetic, Chris Dodd's final hypocritical speech or Mitch McConnell calling it one of the most important speeches in the history of the United States Senate.
Unfortunately, we're just replacing one self-serving phony with another. I'm sure Dick Blumenthal will fight for us in Congress the way he fought for us in Vietnam.
WASHINGTON D.C. - The U.S Supreme Court granted a petition to review an Arizona case challenging the constitutionality of Publicly Funded Political Campaigns like Connecticut’s Citizens’ Election Program ( Senator Donald DeFronzo -Tim O'Brien enginered) that Governor elect Dan Malloy utilized in this year’s 2010 mid-term elections.

I couldn't agree more with the new governor and his plan to tax newspapers.
ReplyDeleteHopefully he will tax the New Britain Herald out of existence!
That's one tax that should be at least 1,000%!
ReplyDeleteI guess the Herald editor is about to learn an important lesson the hard way:
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
I will be laughing my butt off the day the new newspaper tax goes into effect.

Blumenthal is a bigger lying piece of crap than Dodd is.
