Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, speaking this afternoon to reporters at CCSU: “We have traversed a tremendous amount of territory in the last 13 months, going from a state where we had the largest per-capita deficit in the nation, to a point where we established our means and we’re going to live within them. I have said this from Day One: I manage for long-term results hoping that there is a short-term byproduct. And we’re going to continue to manage on a long-term basis. Education reform, a package will be adopted this year. The full impact of that package won’t be understood for several years to come. We manage for long-term results, not short-term results. I didn’t manage for short-term results when I was a mayor for 14 years and I’m not going to switch and manage for short-term results as governor. I’m going to do what I think is the right thing to do, whether it’s popular or not, and try to move the state forward.”
