How Hard is the Rain? It’s Finally Dripping in the Capitol Press Room

It’s kind of a regular thing now that when it rains hard in Hartford, the water sneaks under the panes in the east and west atriums. Hence the row of garbage cans collecting drips near the statue of Nathan Hale, the state hero. Now, high above the statue, in the fifth floor, drips are coming through the dropped ceiling of the beautiful pig sty called the Capitol Press Room. Work was held up on fixing the atriums (atria?) when the Office of Legislative Management ran out of money. It was an entirely different project to pour the “Genius of Connecticut” statue, which if it rains any harder, might need an umbrella. So readers of Blog-o-rama should not think that the atriums were not sealed because of the new statue.
