Chamber legislative breakfast
I attended the annual legislative breakfast, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. There were probably about 70-80 people there, including town officials. The keynote speakers of the legislative breakfast though were obviously our legislators, State Representatives Al Adinolfi, Mary Fritz and Vickie Nardello. (I know that Senator Sam Caligiuri was unable to attend due to a prior commitment. I gather the same was true of Senator Tom Gaffey.)
Unfortunately, I had to run off to work. But before I left, I did get to hear our three Representatives speak. And the one thing that jumped out at me was music to my ears... Mary and Al both strongly opposed the proposed income tax increase. Thank you both! As well, Rep. Adinolfi mentioned one of my growing concerns... the "brain drain." With my own age group (21-35) leaving CT in droves, I'm hoping something happens to stem the tide.
Any other bloggers happen to go and stay for the rest of the breakfast?

p.s. As usual, I really liked the food served at Elim Park. And on a food-related note... the RTC pasta supper fundraiser is Friday night, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, at Cheshire Academy Commons.

Al's solution to young adults leaving the state is to give their affluent parents a tax break.?
Al has been inhaling too many greenhouse gasses that are being produced by all the greenhouses that we have here in Cheshire
Please stick to what matters and not name calling.
yes sir, I mean well.... yes sir...well uh..sorry... I won't do it again
So I gather that Ms. Nardello has no problem with an income tax increase?....well, surprise, surprise!
proposed by our Republican Gov
Ronald Reagan said he didn;t leave the Democratic party, it left him....the opposite can be said of our "Republican" Governor
Don’t blame the Governor for “leaving” the Republican Party…there is no Republican Party in Connecticut.
The Democrats control both the state senate and the state house, and the national Republican Party didn’t even support the Republican candidate for Senate last November. Even look at Cheshire – the council Republicans have moved to the far right, while the town voters are moderates.
For goodness sake, look who the Republicans ran for Secretary of State last November.
I take it the last poster thinks we ought to have one party government like Venezuela.
A one party system is not a good idea. I think that these things move in cycles. The Dems in Cheshire could never win an election. The Reps win come back.
