Hard to tell exactly what he is saying except that it is clear even from his overly managed"talking points" that he is not for re-structuring CT income tax. Gold Coast good ol boys who want to continue burdening the middle class while AIG bigwigs (and the like) in Southern CT part with pennies?

You might not have enough time to do a full rundown of the other campaigns, but what's your general sense of who's the better fit for the state?mattwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187648350141212977.post-33084057441719453212010-08-09T21:56:47.583-04:002010-08-09T21:56:47.583-04:00hmm.

I happen to disagree on some of them though, as I believe they are one-sided and not completely true.<br /><br />1.While transportation is important, shouldn't we be focused on education, jobs, and clean, renewable sources of energy and transportation...all things both candidates stress...but things that Malloy has already DONE.<br /><br />2. Lamont wants to run CT like a business. And government is NOTHING like a business. It's designed to help people. When it comes to jobs, Lamont has hired/fired a few hundred people. He currently maintains a staff of...I believe...7 workers in CT. Malloy has created 5,000 new jobs in Stamford.<br /><br />3. I've met both candidates. Lamont is in fact a nice guy. But Malloy is nice too, and extremely down to earth. I went to an event for him today at his childhood home in Stamford. While there, he was telling a story about how he used to mow the very lawn we were standing on when he was a kid. Malloy is also INCREDIBLY nice to his staff and interns.<br /><br />4.Lamont may not be "managing" his money, but he is instead using it to buy the most important office in the state of CT. And if you're talking about special interests, you're mistaken. While Lamont is spending his millions, Malloy has received all of his campaign contributions in small donations of $5 to $100 from the people of CT. He was the first candidate in Connecticut history to qualify for the clean elections program. <br /><br />All I'm trying to say is that you're sorely mistaken on all of these key points. I personally support Malloy because in addition to being a great candidate, he also has a lifetime of experience serving the people to back him up. I heavily suggest you do more research before going out tomorrow and putting the future of our state in jeopardy with your vote.<br /><br />- M.Mikenoreply@blogger.com
