Nardello on Cheshire residents

(AP) - The inability of state agencies to share information between different computer systems emerged as a key issue Tuesday as state lawmakers held a hearing on proposed reforms in the wake of a triple killing in Cheshire...

State Rep. Vickie Nardello, D-Prospect, said residents of Cheshire want state officials to take action. "They want a reasonable assurance that we can prevent what happened to the Petit family from ever happening again."


I agree. I'd also offer that most people in Cheshire agree with Reps. Al Adinolfi and Mary Fritz in believing that capital punishment is appropriate in some (limited and) particularly heinous crimes. I hope CT doesn't have to have another one of these votes in the 2008 session... a vote to protect the life of serial killer Michael Ross.

And of course I hope we'll get a 3 Strikes law with real teeth.

It's all fine and well that state agencies streamline their computer sharing, but it's going to take a lot more than bureaucratic twinking to get career criminals off the streets.

If Rep. Nardello really wants to "prevent what happened to the Petit family from ever happening again," she'll support a tough 3-Strikes law with mandatory sentencing, and she won't vote again to spare these two child rapist-murderers from capital justice.

Every time Tim reports anything about Vickie Nardello, no matter how innocuous, this one above (7:38) accuses him of being "bitter and angry". I don't see anything angry at all in this present post.

Mr. Bitter-and-Angry does this all the time. He must have some political or personal ax to grind against Tim.

Not really an issue here at all; you kill a person you get the death penalty, end if issue. The only problem we have is the appeal process tales too long; should not exceed 365 days.

When society starts to make people pay for their crimes; serious crimes will decrease.
