Lt. Gov. Takes a Pro-Rail Stand

Lt. Gov. Mike Fedele jumped on the pro-rail train, along with Dan Malloy and Ned Lamont. Wonder who will be next to see that taking a good look at the wisdom of spending almost half a billion dollars on a nine mile road between New Britain and Hartford is a good use of all those clams.
I wrote about what Fedele had to say about the rail and other things at this morning's chamber of commerce coffee chat. You can read all about it in The Bristol Press on Friday (www.bristolpress.com).
Steve Collins, who gets more comments than I do, not that I'm jealous of The Bristol Blog, wrote about Malloy. I wrote about Lamont's stand last week.
Momentum for rail is growing, which can only be good for Bristol and, dare I say, it the future of our state.

Guess Who's Coming to Coffee?

Mike Nicastro, president of the Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce, tells me he has three more "coffee chats" with potential future governors lined up. The last one with Dan Malloy was kind of fun, so I'm looking forward to the others. Of course, it's the chamber, so it's at the crack of dawn:

Wednesday, February 10th @ 8AM – Tom Foley

Thursday, February 18th @ 8 AM – Ned Lamont

Thursday, February 25th @ 8AM – Lt. Governor Mike Fidele.

In case you can't tell one from the other, and who could blame you? -- it's Ned on the left, Mike in the middle and Tom on the right.

Mike Nicastro promises more to come, so stay tuned!
