Malloy pulls mask off “Halloween” brainstorm, shouts “Boo!”

Gov. Dannel Malloy, caught in Westport this afternoon, discounted Rep. Tim Larson’s (D-East Hartford) idea that the governor should declare the last Saturday of each October as Halloween, so kids and their families wouldn’t have to cope with changing days of the week for the candy craving, costume making, door-banging holiday, which this year comes on a Monday. Malloy laughed a couple times at the Blogster’s request for a reaction: “You know Tim’s a great guy and I think he makes a valid point about if we can move other holidays, why can’t we move Halloween? Having said that, I think that’s something the Congress should take up as opposed to a state-by-state basis.”
