Distracting From Real Issues, Gov Claims CT Is the Submarine / Basketball / Pizza ‘Capital’
|
When Marie Antoinette, the last queen of France before the revolution, was asked how to quell her starving peasant subjects, she is alleged to have said “Let them eat cake.”
And as history so often repeats itself, Gov. Ned Lamont seems to be taking the same tack with grumbling Connecticut residents angry over utility pricing. While he still refuses to call a special session of the Legislature to address the issue, last week he presided over the unveiling of a new campaign to make Nutmeggers feel better about their lot. Four signs were erected on the interstate entrances to our state, welcoming travelers by reminding them that Connecticut is “The Foodie / Submarine / Basketball / Pizza Capital” of New England / The U.S. / The World. Don’t you just feel the pride? Or is it more like confusion?
