Thanks Joanne- I support Mitch's re-election too. I think he's done a great job representing Newtown over the years. Newtown29 - Mitch and the rest of the minority Republican party in the CT legislature worked hard to fight these stealth taxes before you got your first shocking bill AND afterwards- the democrats have consistently ignored or worked around those efforts. Sending more democrats to the CT legislature in place of Mitch and Tony will look like pouring gasoline on a kitchen grease fire - Connecticut will only become more unaffordable with that kind of governance.
Turn off MSNBC and look at the rise of our enemies while we dabble in personality politics. They would just dance if the 'cackler-in-chief' tried to threaten them. Send in Blinkin and the clowns.
An election day of reckoning is coming for Mitch and Tony. Their biggest failure has been to allow the electric companies in the state to make CT one of the highest cost states in the country.
