The Blog that Works

If a lifetime of working in public service has taught me anything, it’s that our most grand social changes are begun on the smallest stages; a conversation in line at the grocery store, a cup of coffee between friends, a town hall meeting… these are the places that history-making ideas are born.  It all starts with the opportunity for everyone’s voice to be heard. Technology has provided our society with varying forms of communication, yet some people still do not have an outlet for speaking their minds. That’s why I am excited to begin posting on this site so that I can better convey my thoughts and ideas to the residents of Stamford and the rest of the State of Connecticut.

I want to keep you updated on a wide range of topics. You’ll have an insider view of what’s going on in The City that Works, from key decision making that impacts our town to sharing with you the things I like best in my favorite city in my favorite state, to thoughts and updates regarding my exploratory committee for governor in 2010. This blog will be a local addition to the blog I keep over at my website, www.DanMalloyforCT.com.

I’ll also be reaching out to some good friends and colleagues for their help in writing this blog.  It is my hope that reading the thoughts and opinions of city and state political leaders and decision makers will give you a better sense of how we work for you, and will in effect make our government even more open and accountable. Together we’ll track news and progress in our respective communities and weigh in on what’s happening. I’m encouraging each poster to speak his or her mind freely, as we work to foster an environment of open and candid discourse.  Your suggestions and opinions are invaluable to me.

I will be updating and posting regularly and I hope that you’ll keep an eye on this site in the months to come and that you’ll join in the discussion whenever possible.

Thanks for visiting!
