Just in case you think Gov. Jodi Rell isn’t watching out for you, consider the news release from her office a few minutes ago proclaiming that she has signed an executive order banning the controversial “gas blow” procedure at natural gas power plants. Yesterday, after a state commission recommended such a tactic – months after the deaths of six construction workers in Middletown last February – the governor announced that she was drafting such an order. So today, she wants more news coverage of the actual event.
This reminds the Blogster of an old saying by Mark Twain, paraphrased here: First you tell them what you will tell them; then you tell them; then you tell them what you told them. It’s 4 p.m. and Rell is up in Springfield, about to march in her final “Connecticut Day” parade at the Big E, at 5 p.m. State employees still have enough time to drive up there and join her.
