The Milford Democratic Town Committee has been lucky enough to hear presentations by three potential candidates for Governor. Susan Bysiewicz, Dan Malloy and Jim Amann. (Jim Amann is the only one to officially declare.)

Jim Amann spoke to the Committee late last year and received a rousing endorsement from those assembled. He had a fantastic opening at his headquarters in Devon one week ago. Even Mayor Richetelli was there. Always a good sport, Jim and his wife Terri took the time this week to attend a fundraiser (pizza) for Paul Tarbox for Orange First Selectman.

Susan Bysiewicz spoke to the DTC in February and got a standing ovation. Susan explained how Jodi Rell has essentially abdicated her power to her staff and spends most of her time away from the capital - at home. (This fact was mentioned by all three candidates.)

Dan Malloy gave a short speech and took a number questions at the DTC meeting last week. The theme of his talk seemed to center on transportation (I-95 and rail) and the deteriorating infrastructure of Connecticut.

When one reflects on where Connecticut stands now and where they could be, we can only come to one conclusion. Connecticut needs a Democratic Governor.
