Gov Malloy says Child Advocate will be missed and replaced

The governor, speaking on WNPR’s “Where We Live” a few minutes ago, praised Child Advocate Jeanne Milstein’s dozen years heading the agency. “First of all I think she’s a great public servant. I do look forward to the day when that position is not necessary, but that won’t be happening in the foreseeable future.” He noted that the state has been under federal supervisor on child protection for 20 years. “I don’t imagine that that position is not going to be filled.” Milstein’s retirement is effective March 1.
