Speaker Donavan's Campaign Demise

Since the new state tax threatens the demise of roll your own tobacco shops could certainly be the causation of Speaker Donovan's campaign demise as well.

someone should look into the Meriden donations to see who violated the federal law like they did in New Britain.

CT Jobs Fair/1,000 Job Seekers Seek Work & Jobs !

Norwich CT - Some 1,000 job seekers deluged the Norwich Holiday Inn during a five-hour event at which more than 1,000 people had a chance to meet face to face with prospective employers. “We’re suffering down here,” said U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney (D) -2nd District, who spent about two hours at the job fair. “People want to work. People want jobs".

People were lined halfway around the hotel by the time the event kicked off at 10 a.m., sponsors said. Courtney said the local event attracted about twice as many job seekers as one he helped arrange in Mansfield earlier this year. “It’s a little overwhelming here,” said Tammy Ladd of Norwich, who has been working per diem jobs in the health care field but is hoping for something more permanent“ I’m trying to find anything,” said Ralph Churchill of Baltic, who has worked with disabled people and done landscaping work, among other jobs

One job seeker, Brian James of Groton, said he was glad someone was trying to do something to help job seekers. The submarine veteran said he has been seeking an engineering job for months without success“ They don’t want to train,” he said of employers. “If you don’t have the exact skills they are looking for, they don’t have any interest.”

Ralph Churchill, the Baltic town job seeker who has been out of work since February, said he moved to the region from Oregon, seeking support from friends and family while he searched for a job. But he soon found out the labor situation here is one of the worst in the country, with the region having lost nearly 12,000 jobs since March 2008.

“I didn’t realize it was this bad,” Ralph Churchill said.
In fact, projections made earlier this year by the forecasting firm IHS Global Insight predicted the Norwich-New London area, which includes Westerly, would be the ninth-worst in the country in terms of post-recession jobs recoveries by the end of the year. The firm’s analysis showed the region would see only 400 jobs restored at the end of 2012 when compared to numbers seen during the recession’s low point.

Mike Toomey, who drove an hour from his home in Douglas, Mass., said this job fair appeared to be bigger, with more businesses represented, than he has seen at several other events he has attended since losing a job at a Rhode Island car dealership in April.

"I think it’s worse here in Connecticut than in State of Massachusetts,” Mike Toomey said of the struggle to find a job.

Maybe All the job seekers, with exception the Massachusetts job seeker, should run against the speaker of the house at least its a job to run for.

There are plenty of jobs in Wisconsin, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Indiana, and several other states that have no unions.

Democrats are very rare in most of those states too.
