Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, joined Rep. Terry Backer, D-Stratford, this morning along the banks of the Norwalk Harbor to decry new fees being imposed on the state’s shellfishermen by the Department of Agriculture.
Backer was reliably casual in his jeans, jean jacket and boots, and the dozen or so shellfishermen were dressed for work on their boats. Duff stood out in his suit – something Backer quickly noted.
“Bob, you’re over-dressed,” Backer said before the television cameras began to roll.
Anyone at the capitol watching the footage with the sound turned off might assume the shellfishermen had decided to sue the state over the fees – which they might – and Duff was their attorney.
