I want to know the office hours and work schedules of all the Ed reformers and board members at the state capitol. I mean all those consultants working with Pryor, there or remotely.
Let’s not forget all the remote assistance provided by the Broad foundation and other private, corporate groups–something parents and taxpayers never even asked for.

$340,000 salary and he works remotely for six weeks from his home in Minnesota?!
How many other Hibernians that Dan hired have been “working remotely”?
Can Dan blame anyone blame himself for this? It sounds like he tried and failed but brought up his alleged “savings” as a lame excuse.
Add it to the list of Malloy failures…almost EVERYTHING except decriminalized ganja and Sunday sales. Great leagacy Dan!
Erin go Blah!

The Colleen Flanagan we keep hearing about in connection with the Regents–I assume that is the same Colleen Flanagan here:

“Gov.-elect Dan Malloy made two additional appointments today, tapping transition team press aide Colleen Flanagan as his director of communications and Arielle Reich as his director of intergovernmental affairs/special assistant to the governor.
Flanagan was a familiar presence in Connecticut news stories during the 2010 election cycle, when she was the sharp-tongued spokeswoman for the state Democratic party. She also held communications jobs with U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd (including serving as his national press sercretary during his presidential run) and North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan”

“I’m not happy I learned about it the same way you learned about it,” Malloy said.” Bullshit, Malloy! I’m calling Bullshit on this one.

My guess–the have an MO all worked out. Dan wheels and deals behind the scenes, knows what everyone’s up to. They all get to benefit from his shenanigans, with the understanding that NOTHING sticks to Dan if the media finds out and the public begins to rumble about something.

And why shouldn’t they bank on citizens forgetting? Politicians, CEO’s, bankers–very rarely held accountable in the highly corrupt U.S. of A.

Pathological liars believe their lies.

He has Jepsen and McDonald and OcchioGROSSo covering for him, so they protect the narcissist and the saga continues.

Shouldn’t Dannel and Meotti appear together and answer questions publicly?

They bank on citizens forgetting.

Next time you don’t feel we’ll, don’t call out sick…just say you are working remotely.

CT Mirror, when they are done with this mess should be looking into the Pryor, Vallas, Adafraudski shenanigans. This is just the beginning.
