THE GUV IS FEELING BETTER THAN I


HAVE A TISSUE?

MIXED POLL BAG
I've been slow to post because I've been battling a really bad cold.....The guv had to be ecstatic about yesterday's UConn poll. Yes 61 percent still want him to resign, but a majority of respondents say they think criminal and not ethical misdeeds should be the standard for impeachment. It's going to be tough for lawmakers to toss him out of office based only on the guv having his hand out

MAD SULLY
This one has been brewing for at least a week or more. But Senate President Kevin Sullivan has been gunning for Public Safety Commissioner Art Spada for awhile now. Sullivan has been especially salty about the Vinny DeRosa saga involving overtime at Homeland Security and Vinny D's overall qualifications to be agency director and that little matter of DeRosa's side biz as a used car salesman. On Tuesday during a public hearing where Sullivan made a rare committee appearance he and Spada went toe-to-toe. (you may need to have a CTNOW account to read this) http://www.ctnow.com/news/local/statewire/hc-10201956.apds.m0615.bc-ct--homefeb10,1,7891659.story?coll=hc-headlines-local-wire
Some think Kevin is going a little bit over the top on this one, but former judge Spada hasn't helped himself by not being aware -- sooner -- of Vinny D's side job!

THE WINNER IS.......
Doug S from Manchester was the first to email back on my "Who ran against Lieberman" question. The answer of course is the now locked-up Phil Giordano. Doug beat Jason S from West Hartford by 4 minutes. But Jason saw behind my real motive and wrote "Now this was a cheap attempt to get reader interaction..." He's right, and it worked! Thanks to all for the feedback
