Dangerous Dan

Governor Dan Malloy in his speech about teachers said "To keep your job "you should have to continue to prove your effectiveness in the classroom as your career progresses,'' Malloy sternly concluded."

This from the man that gave unions a 5 year contract with no layoffs!
 This is typical of his of style. Never mind what I did for them I going after you, don't apply logic!

Should we apply this to him? how about a mid term re vote? lets see if the majority of the people keep him! No, I don't mean take a poll, we all know they can be slanted by the way or what questions are asked.

I think he just like to make these type of statements to get people riled up and not thinking about how bad our economy in Connecticut really is, lost of jobs and manufacturing that we will never get back, tax increases and spend millions of dollars on projects that create few jobs( divide the cost of the proposed addition to the hospital by the number of jobs to be created.)
Or the New Britain bus way, come on now, really?
He is headed for one term lets make sure that's what he gets!

just another day in paradise!

Malloy's dictatorship

Governor Dan Malloy wants things his way or no way, and does not want any real discussion on his agenda! There are many example of this through out his first year in office.  His my way or no way attitude is driving this great state further down. Of course I have my own interest to look after and will only point out some of the things that bother me the most( we all start with our pet peeves). Some of this was related to me by other people.
The wholesale wine and liquor distributors tried to have a meeting Dan about all the changes to Connecticut  liquor laws, and were told that if they did not agree with Dans views there would be no meeting, he did not want to hear anything that might not match what he wants.
 Another meeting with some package store owners and a state rep, the owners were told that unless their store does a million dollars a year, that they will not survive and that the state expected 50% of  stores to close!
How does this attitude create jobs and build our economy?
And where is MADD?  Longer bar  hours.... longer store hours..Sunday? more drunk drivers? where is their outrage? Have they traded silence For some promise in the future?
Why the rush to push this through?
What else has Dan done for us? Union contracts with no layoffs for five years? don"t you wish you knew your job was safe for five years no matter ? When he make these changes will he guarantee  package store owners a job for five years? If he thinks these changes will be such a boost for the state maybe the state should buy out all the package stores and run them, then they can have five year contract and not worry about their families!
Traveling all over the world on our dime? what does his traveling to these places have to do with helping us here in Connecticut?
Lets make sure Dan is a one term Governor! not that he cares, he has probably made lots of friend in rich places!



just another day in paradise!
