Malloy, quoting Robert Frost and channeling Upton Sinclair, takes reporters into his personal “Jungle”

Gov. Dannel Malloy seemed upbeat in his noontime news conference with Capitol reporters. “There are miles to go before I sleep,” he said in apparent homage to poet Robert Frost, noting the 40-some-odd days left before the end of the legislative session and its accompanying deadline for a bill on education reforms. First he launched into a tried and true sausage-factory reference worthy of the famous expose of the Chicago meat-packing industry. “I never served in the Legislature but I did make sausage for a summer job and it’s a bit like that,” Malloy said. “When the spices go in the sausage and when you finally load the casing that’s when its done.”
