Rocking the boat

I hope a lot of people see this invaluable editorial in the WRA:

Connecticut needs more boat-rockers, in and out of government. It needs straight-talkers unafraid to call out the powers that be for their misfeasance and malfeasance. What it's likely to get when the politicians get around to replacing Messrs. Bycel and Papillo are hacks who go along to get along — "potted plants," as Mr. Papillo prefers to call them. Replacing these valuable men with two more potted plants might be enough to turn the Capitol into the state's official nursery.
