Gov. Malloy: Don’t pass the Grey Poupon.

During Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s noon news conference in the State Armory, reporters tried to pin him down on who are and are not essential workers who can use state roads during the hurricane emergency. Hospital workers? Yes. Emergency workers? Of course. Supermarket shelf stockers. Yes. “People who are already at work, obviously have to get home. We understand that. This is a time for people to use their judgment.”

A reporter then asked what kind of advice the governor was giving to grocery stores. “Obviously I think they’ve all tried to get as much in and on shelves as possible…We probably have enough Grey Poupon. We might need bread and milk.”
