Say what? No Jodi’s Jail!
It’s not easy for a high-profile pol to reverse course. Governor Jodi Rell did that today when she announced Bridgeport was not a fit for her proposed juvenile detention center for girls that drew howls from the local neighborhood and political communities.
Nice to know Jodi wouldn’t be so stubborn in her final months. Now, if she’d just invest that $20 million on a real tax generator for the city. I’m not being greedy, am I?

Chris Caruso alone,and none of the other flies like Bill Finch, deserves sole credit for this. Chris was able to rally the rest of the legislative body, sans Jack Hennessey (Chris’ butt boy) to attend the gathering in Feb to oppose this rediculous creation of the Rell administration. Anyone who attended the gathering at the Virginia Ave location knows that there were existing and far better locations for this $15 Million facility, and for much less money.
