While Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy visits troops in Kuwait and Afghanistan through a Department of Defense outreach program, Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman is keeping her commitments and representing the administration at events back home.
I feel bad for Nancy, having to release a schedule of – no offense to the hosts – important but pretty mundane appearances when compared with her boss’ headline-grabbing jaunt to a war zone.
Then again, I’m sure there are many people who would, faced with the choice of visiting a war zone or meeting with town clerks, swearing in new prison wardens and attending a ceremony honoring the state’s teacher of the year, be perfectly happy with the latter activities.
Here’s Wyman’s full schedule for the coming days:

It’s too bad she is only giving opening remarks at the Town Clerks Conference, and not staying to hear what they have to say. Or is this a Happy Hour Conference gratis of the tax Payers? As for the CT Health Insurance Exchange Meeting today, I wish I could attend, I’d love to know what they’ve got up their sleeves.
