“At what point will George pull his nose out of Dan’s arse and smell something really rotten?”

I’m afraid old George must have gotten his schnozz stuck.

I hadn’t seen this press release —- it is actually 10 times worse than you allude to – because – that statement about, “In addition, the Board approved a seamless transfer and articulation proposal that will allow students throughout the system to transfer schools much more easily. That proposal languished for close to 30 years. Now it’s happening,” is an absolute and total lie. Nancy Wyman and I, as well as a number of other legislators successfully worked to develop effective articulation agreements — Dan Malloy’s have debased themselves – yet again. They should go up and read that line to the Lt. Governor and she should demand a retraction.

There are nine personality disorders and some have one or two at the most, but the more one has, the more distorted their perception is of right or wrong. It is unfortunate that there are many at the top levels who make decisions that will ultimately be felt by those below are usually not in the best interest to benefit the people, but rather these decisions are made to ensure their greedy egos and wallets. Education in this country is auctioned out to the highest bidder and then invested for profit to private corporations. It’s a tragedy that we the people have to bear the loss because of these psychopaths. Only years down the road will it become clear what these beasts are creating in the minds of our children and young adults who attend our schools today. Yes, something drastic needs to change, and that change needs to start at the top. When we the people have had enough of the corruption committed by those of the few, revolution is near at hand. We are no longer willing to live as serfs, working the land of the owner and handing over the fruits of our hard labor for the “priviledge” to live there. We all need to wake up and pay attention to what’s going on and keep trying to do what we can to remove those in power who make choices for their own gain and to hell with the rest, but they conveniently forget one thing….it is on the backs of us all through the most corrupt tactic of all…taxation.

Come on, Jepsen! Do we all have to make a “citizen’s arrest” in order to get you to apply the law, the governor to acknowledge the law, and the Board of Regents to admit their theft, and be punished for it? This was not some Gifting Table (grifting table is more like it), nor some paltry cash card to replace rotten food after a hurricane. Oh, the righteousness of Dannel Malloy and Occhiogrosso over some low-paid state employees trying to “defraud” a federal relief program. Employees were suspended without their tiny paycheck, meanwhile, all that happens to Robert Kennedy is that he could not have a press conference remotely from Minnesota.
The community colleges do need some attention, the CSUs absolutely need some tuning-up, but we are talking about getting rid of these bloated administrator$$ and getting some teachers into classrooms (and not adjuncts and part-timers–this is a serious defect in the system and contributes greatly to the terrible graduation rates and often sub-par level of instruction).
Then take a look at the other enormous cash-cow, the State Public education budget, and all the unnecessary administrative, technology, and “data-driven” nonsense that taxpayer dollars are being wasted on.

Dan’s nose must be growing…the first he heard of it? What? Was he working “remotely” from DC,Davos or China? Nope. He is not telling the truth.
Dan! Lies begat lies! Even John-the-Felon Rowland learned that,sort of. and he got time to reflect on the concept of honesty. Just because you are surround by synchophants,and your whole career is based on half-truths,does not mean that you can ALWAYS get away with it!

$340,000 salary and six weeks of remote,what? Flyfishing?
The Hibernian Clown Act in Hartford is amazing.
Will someone wake Jepsen up and tell him he is an Attorney General!? There are laws being ignored/broken/skirted in Connecticut by Dan and his Merry Men. At what point will George pull his nose out of Dan’s arse and smell something really rotten?
